Ignition Coil Circuit Testing: MDX

  1. Remove ignition coil cover. Disconnect 6 ignition coil 3-pin connectors. Turn ignition on. Measure voltage between ground and each ignition coil connector terminal No. 3 (Black/White wire). See appropriate wiring diagram under ENGINE PERFORMANCE in WIRING DIAGRAMS. If battery voltage is present, go to next step. If battery voltage is not present, repair open circuit between ignition coil(s) connector terminal No. 3 (Black/White wire) and ignition coil relay. See IGNITION COIL RELAY CIRCUIT TEST (MDX)  article.
  2. Turn ignition off. Measure continuity between ignition coil 3-pin connector terminal No. 2 (Black wire) and ground. If continuity is present, go to next step. If continuity is not present, repair open circuit between ignition coil(s) connector terminal No. 2 (Black wire) and ground terminals G101 and G102.
  3. Turn ignition switch to START position. Measure voltage between ignition coil 3-pin connectors terminal No. 1 and ground. See IGNITION COIL 3-PIN CONNECTOR TERMINAL NO. 1 IDENTIFICATION (MDX)  . If about .5 volt is present, replace ignition coil. If about .5 volt is not present, repair open circuit in appropriate wire between ignition coil connector terminal No. 1 and PCM.
