Pick-Up Coil: Testing and Inspection

Checking Air Gap:





Inspect Air Gap
- Using a thickness gauge, measure the air gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection.

Air gap: 0.2 - 0.4 mm (0.008 - 0.016 in.)

- If the air gap is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.



Checking Resitance:





Inspect Signal Generator (Pickup Coil) Resistance
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between terminals.
- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the distributor housing assembly.

Pickup coil resistance:

G1 and G-
125 190 ohms at -10 - +40°C (14 104°F)

G2 and G-
125 190 ohms at -10 - +40°C (14 104°F)

NE and G-
155 240 ohms at -10 - +40°C (14 104°F)
