Test 7, Distributor Stator Assembly & Wiring Harness



Stator assembly & wiring harness test connections:






Procedure
1. Disconnect module 4 wire connector. Inspect connectors for dirt and corrosion.
2. Using a suitable ohmmeter, measure resistance of stator and wiring harness between wiring harness terminals joining orange and purple wires of module connector, Fig. 1.

Note: When measuring resistance, wiggle wires to simulate any open circuits that might exist.

3. If resistance is 400---1000 ohms, test results are satisfactory. Proceed to test 8. Test 8, Ignition Module to Stator Assembly Wiring Harness
4. If resistance is less than 400 ohms or more than 1000 ohms, proceed to test 11. Test 11, Distributor Stator Assembly
