Ignition Coil Test

Ignition Coil Test

1. With the ignition switch OFF, disconnect the primary connectors and the coil wire.

2. 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 20°C (70°F).

Primary Winding Resistance 

(between the A and D terminals):

1.2 - 1.5 ohms 

Secondary Winding Resistance 

(between the A and secondary winding terminal:

11,074 - 11,526 ohms

Resistance between the B and D terminals:

Approx. 2,200 ohms 

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