Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

IGNITION COIL INSPECTION[LF, L3]

Ignition Coil Inspection
1. Perform the spark test and identity the malfunctioning cylinder.
2. Replace the ignition coil of the malfunctioning cylinder with that of a normal cylinder, and reperform the spark test.
- If the spark is not normal due to a malfunctioning ignition coil, replace that ignition coil.
- It is unlikely that all four ignition coils fail to operate properly. To prevent replacing a normal component, perform the above procedure, identify the malfunctioning ignition coil, and replace it.

Ignition Coil with Built-In Igniter Inspection
1. Disconnect the ignition coil connector.







2. Measure the resistance between each terminal on the ignition coil connector using an analog circuit tester.
- If the measurement corresponds to the table, replace the ignition coil
