IGNITION COIL (WITH BUILT IN POWER TRANSISTOR) CHECK

Check by the following procedure and replace if there is a malfunction.

Primary Coil and Ignition Power Transistor Continuity Check

NOTE:
1. An analog-type ohmmeter should be used.




2. Connect the negative (-) probe of the ohmmeter to terminal 1.




CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning and ignition power transistor from breaking.

Secondary Coil Resistance Check




Measure the resistance between the high-voltage terminals of the ignition coil.

Standard value: 14 - 21 Ohms
