Ignition Coil: Testing and Inspection

INSPECTION OF IGNITION COIL (3S-FE)






1. INSPECT PRIMARY COIL RESISTANCE.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between positive (+) and negative (-) terminals.

Primary coil resistance (Cold): 0.38 - 0.46 ohms

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.






2. INSPECT SECONDARY COIL RESISTANCE.
- Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance between the positive (+) and high-tension terminals.

Secondary coil resistance (Cold): 7.7 - 10.4 k-ohms

- If the resistance is not as specified, replace the ignition coil.
