2. Remove the 2 screws to disconnect the BLK/YEL and WHT/BLU wires from the terminals A(+) and B(-) respectively.
3. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of the primary winding between the A and B terminals. Replace the coil if the resistance is not within

specifications.

Resistance:

0.6 - 0.8 Ohms

4. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance of the secondary winding between the A and secondary winding terminals. Replace the coil if the
