Section 06 ELECTRICAL SYSTEM Subsection 02 (IGNITION SYSTEM)
NOTE: An ignition coil with good resistance measurement can still be faultyVoltage leak can occur at high voltage level which is not detectable with an ohmmeterReplacing the ignition coil may be necessary as test
Static Test
Primary Winding Disconnect the wire connector on the primary side of the ignition coilUsing multimeter, check the resistance between the terminal and the ignition coil body ground V07 G1CA
The resistance should be between 0.8 and 1.2 at 20C (68 F)If not within specification, replace the ignition coilIf the ignition coil test good, check the power supply on the electronic moduleThere should be 12 Vdc between the REDNIOLET and WHITEGREEN wires If there is no voltage, either the electronic module or the wiring harness is defectiveSecondary Winding The output voltage should not be less than 12 kV (12 000 V) The ignition coil outlet caps and the spark plug caps include resistanceThey should be checked prior to replacing suspected ignition coilMeasure resistance between ignition coil terminals and spark plug capsThe obtained value should be between and 14 KnIf resistance is good, continue check If not, change spark plug wires
