Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION

NOTICE: Cold and Hot in the following sentences express the temperature of the coils themselves.
Cold is from - 10°C (14°F) to 50°C (122°F) and
Hot is from 50°C (122°F) to 100°C (212°F).

1. REMOVE V-BANK COVER




- Using a 5 mm hexagon wrench, remove the 2 cap nuts.
- Disconnect the 2 clips, remove the V-bank cover.




2. DISCONNECT IGNITION COIL CONNECTORS
3. INSPECT PRIMARY COIL RESISTANCE




- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.

Primary coil resistance:
Cold: 0.54 - 0.84 Ohms
Hot: 0.68 - 0.98 Ohms

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.
4. RECONNECT IGNITION COIL CONNECTORS
5. REINSTALL V-BANK COVER

HINT: For fixing the V-bank cover, push on the cover until a "click is felt.
