Tercel Sedan 2-Door L4-1456cc 1.5L SOHC (3E-E) (1991)
Primary Coil Testing
7.
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between ignition coil (+) and (-) terminals.
Primary Resistance (Cold):
0.4 - 0.5 ohms
Secondary Coil Testing
8.
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between ignition coil (+) and the secondary terminals.
Secondary Resistance (Cold):
10k - 14k ohms
9.
Check ignition coil for signs of carbon tracking, burned or discolored plastic, external leakage, or cracks in the housing.
10.
If ignition coil resistance is not within specifications or physical damage is apparent, replace ignition coil.
Pickup Coil Resistance
11.
Disconnect primary wire connector at distributor.
12.
Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals NE- and NE+.
G Pickup Coil Resistance:
370 - 530 ohms
13.
If resistance was not within specifications in step #12, replace distributor assembly. If no faults were found, proceed with this test.
