Ignition coils and power output stage,
checking


Notes:

The ignition coils and power output stage are
one component.
Measuring the primary resistance of the ignition
coils is not possible.
Measure secondary resistance first with ignition
wires connected to the ignition coil via the spark
plug connector of the respective cylinder (with
this method the interference resistances of the
ignition cables are also measured).

Checking

- Check DTC memory page 01
-16
.

There must be no malfunctions stored

- If DTC memory is not clear (malfunctions
recognized):

- Make necessary repairs and erase DTC
memory.

- Stop engine and start engine again.

- Road test.

- Check and erase DTC memory again.

- By briefly disconnecting fuel injector connectors
with engine running, check which cylinder is
misfiring, or not firing at all.
A misfiring cylinder can also be isolated by
examining the spark plugs (for a carbon-fouled
plug).

-
Interchange spark plug with one from cylinder
