Ignition Coil Test

Using an ohmmeter, measure resistance between the terminals, if the resistance is not within specifications, replace the ignition coil.

NOTE: Resistance will vary with the coil temperature; specifications are at 68°F (20°C).

Primary Winding Resistance 

(Between the A and B terminals): 

0.63 - 0.77 Ω 

Secondary Winding Resistance 

(Between the A and secondary winding terminals): 

12.8 - 19.2 kΩ
