Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION
Secondary coil winding

1. Remove the high-tension leads.




2. Measure resistance of the secondary coil winding of each coil with an ohmmeter.

Secondary coil winding resistance: [at 20 °C ( 68 °F)]: 8.7-12.9 k Ohms

3. If not within the specification, replace the ignition coil.

Insulation resistance of case
1. Remove the high-tension leads and disconnect the connectors.




2. Use a 500 V megger tester to measure the insulation resistance between the primary terminal and the coil case.

Resistance: Above 10 M Ohms

3. If not as specified, replace the ignition coil.
