Condition of wave pattern

Probable cause

build-up section and
maximum voltage

Rises from approx. 2V to
approx. 4.5V at the top-right

Normal

2V rectangular wave

Open-circuit in ignition primary circuit

Rectangular wave at power voltage

Ignition power transistor malfunction

EXAMPLES OF ABNORMAL WAVE PATTERNS

Example 1
Wave pattern during engine cranking

Cause of problem: Open-circuit in ignition primary circuit

Wave pattern characteristics: Top-right part of the build-up section cannot be seen, and voltage value is approximately 2V too low.

Example 2
Wave pattern during engine cranking

Cause of problem: Malfunction in ignition power transistor

Wave pattern characteristics: Power voltage results when the ignition power transistor is ON.
