Component Tests and General Diagnostics

IGNITION COIL (WITH BUILT-IN IGNITION POWER TRANSISTOR) CHECK
Check by the following procedure, and replace the coil if there is a malfunction.




SECONDARY COIL RESISTANCE CHECK
Measure the resistance between the high-voltage terminals of the ignition coil.

Standard value: 15.3 - 20.7 k ohms







PRIMARY COIL AND IGNITION POWER TRANSISTOR CONTINUITY CHECK

NOTE: An analog-type ohmmeter should be used.

NOTE: 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.
