Ignition Cable: Testing and Inspection

INSPECT HIGH-TENSION CORDS





A. Disconnect the high-tension cords from the spark plugs.
NOTE: Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor inside.

B. Disconnect the high-tension cords from the ignition coils.





1. Using a screwdriver, lift up the lock claw and disconnect the holder from the ignition coils.





2. Disconnect the high-tension cord at the grommet.

NOTE:
- Pulling on or bending the cords may damage the conductor inside.
- Do not wipe any of the oil from the grommet after the high-tension cord is disconnected.





c. Using an ohmmeter, measure the resistance.

Maximum resistance: 25 kOhm per cord
If the resistance is greater than maximum, check the terminals. If necessary, replace the high-tension cord.
