Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

1. Turn the ignition switch OFF.

2. Disconnect the 4-P connector and ignition coil wire.
3. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the terminals. Replace the coil if the resistance is not within specifications.

NOTE:  Resistance will vary with the coil temperature; specifications are at 68°F (2O°C)

Primary Winding Resistance 
(Between the A and C terminals): 
0.3 - 0.4 Ohm 
Secondary Winding Resistance 
(Between the A and secondary winding terminals):
14 - 22 K Ohms
Resistance between the B and D terminals:

4. Check for continuity between the A and C terminals. Replace the coil if there is no continuity.
