Ignition Power Transistor: Testing and Inspection
Component Inspection

IGNITION COIL (WITH BUILT-IN IGNITION POWER TRANSISTOR) CHECK

Check by the following procedure, and replace if there is a malfunction.

SECONDARY COIL RESISTANCE CHECK

Measure the resistance between the high-voltage terminals of the ignition coil.

Standard value: 14 - 21 k ohm

PRIMARY COIL AND IGNITION POWER TRANSISTOR CONTINUITY CHECK

NOTE:

1. An analog-type ohmmeter should be used.
2. Connect the negative (-) probe of the ohmmeter to terminal 1.

CAUTION:  This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning and ignition power transistor from breaking.
