Ignition Control Module: Testing and Inspection

Power Transistor

NOTE: An analog-type circuit tester should be used.

No. 1 - No. 4 Coil Side

Ignition Power Transistor Continuity Check:






1. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the 1.5 V power supply to terminal (4) of the ignition power transistor; then check whether there is continuity between terminal (13) and terminal (4) when terminal (3) and the positive (+) terminal are connected and disconnected.

NOTE: Connect (-) Probe of the circuit tester to terminal (13).

Ignition Power Transistor Continuity Check Table:






2. Replace the ignition power transistor if there is a malfunction.


No. 2 - No. 5 Coil Side

Ignition Power Transistor Continuity Check:






1. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the 1.5 V power supply to terminal (4) of the ignition power transistor; then check whether there is continuity between terminal (12) and terminal (4) when terminal (2) and the positive (+) terminal are connected and disconnected.

NOTE: Connect the (-) probe of the circuit tester to terminal (12).

2. Replace the ignition power transistor if there is a malfunction.


No. 3 - No. 6 Coil Side

Ignition Power Transistor Continuity Check:






1. Connect the negative (-) terminal of the 1.5 V power supply to terminal (4) of the ignition power transistor; then check whether there is continuity between terminal (11) and terminal (4) when terminal (1) and the positive (+) terminal are connected and disconnected.

NOTE: Connect the (-) probe of the circuit tester to terminal (11).
