Sportage 4WD 2Dr L4-2.0L (2002)
Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection
IGNITION COIL VOLTAGE CHECK
1. Make sure the ignition switch is in the OFF position.
2. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
3. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
4. Measure voltage at both the white and red wires at the ignition coil connector.
Voltage: approx. 12 V
5. If no voltage, check main fuse, ignition switch and wire harness.
IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE CHECK
1. Using an ohmmeter, check primary coil resistance. If not within specification, replace coil.
Remember that the unit has two coil assemblies, so there are two primaries to check. Connect one lead of the ohmmeter to the to the positive (+)
terminal and the other lead to each negative (-) terminal.
Primary coil resistance: 0.45 - 0.55 Ohm @ 68 °F (20 °C)
2. Using an ohmmeter, check secondary coil resistance. If not within specification, replace coil.
Remember that the unit has two coil assemblies, so there are two secondaries to check. If one is out of specification replace whole unit.
Secondary coil resistance: 13 - 15 kOhm @ 68 °F (20 °C)
