Circuit/System Testing
- Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector of the ignition coil.
- Connect a test lamp between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the ignition coil and the negative terminal of the battery.
- Ignition ON, test for less than 0.1 volt between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the ignition coil and the positive terminal of battery.
- If greater than 0.1 volt, repair the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the ignition coil for a short to ground or an open/high resistance.
- Ignition OFF, connect a DMM between the ignition 1 voltage circuit of the ignition coil from the fuse to the harness connector terminal of the ignition coil.
- If more than 2 ohms, repair the high resistance on the ignition 1 voltage circuit.
- If all circuits/connections test normal, replace the ignition coil.
IMPORTANT:
Do not perform this diagnostic procedure if you were not sent here from a misfire DTC or the Engine Cranks but Does Not Run diagnostic.
IMPORTANT:
The test lamp is used to load the circuit and may not illuminate.
