Ignition coils, checking 
     
Notes:  
     
Check wiring between power output stage and 
ignition coils, and between the ignition coils and 
the connector set in the connector bracket, for 
insulation damage.

Checking secondary resistance  
     
-  Disconnect ignition wires from the ignition 
coils. 
    
If the specified resistance is not obtained for any one coil:  -  Switch Fluke 83 multimeter to resistance range and connect between 
the two posts of the ignition coil being tested. 
  
Specified value: 9000-14000 -  Replace ignition coil.

Checking primary resistance  
     
-  Disconnect power output stage harness 
connector  page 28
-7 . 
     
-  Check connectors for loose, corroded terminals 
or terminals that have been pushed out of their 
connector housing, and repair as necessary. 
     
Note:  
     The connector sequence in the connector 
bracket is immaterial because all three B+ 
terminals route to the ignition coils. 
    
-  Connect one multimeter test leads between ignition coil connector 
terminal in connector bracket... 
    
   ... and 3-pin power output stage connector (for each coil).
  
Specified value: max. 5.0

Checking voltage supply  
     
Fuse for ignition coils OK 
     
-  Disconnect white connector on connector 
bracket  page 28
-1 . 
     
-  Switch ignition on.
    
If the specified values are not obtained:  -  Switch Fluke 83 multimeter to voltage range and connect in sequence 
between Ground (GND) and all three terminals of the connector. 
   Specified value: approx. battery voltage
-  Check for open circuit using wiring diagram, repair as necessary, also 
check fuses.
