CHECKING THE IGNITION COILS
The following procedure applies to all of the igni-
tion coils.
1. Check:
• Primary coil resistance
Out of specification → Replace.

a. Remove the ignition coil from the spark plug.
b. Connect the pocket tester (Ω × 1) to the igni-
tion coil as shown.
c. Measure the primary coil resistance.
