Signal Generator Pick-Up Coils

***UPDATED BY TSB# EN91-007, JUNE 1991

Pick-up Coil Connector:





1. Disconnect the wiring connector near the distributor.

2. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals NE and G-.

NE Pickup Coil Resistance: 155 - 240 ohms

3. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals G1 and G-.

G1 Pickup Coil Resistance: 125 - 190 ohms

4. Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between terminals G2 and G-.

G2 Pickup Coil Resistance: 125 - 190 ohms


Pick-up Coil Air Gap:





5. Using a non-magnetic feeler gauge, measure the gap between the signal rotor and pickup coil projection.

Air Gap: 0.008 - 0.016 in (0.2 - 0.4 mm)

NOTE: The air gap is not adjustable. If any of the above tests reveal a pick-up coil outside specifications, replace the distributor assembly.
