Hall Control Unit Check
NOTE:
For quick check procedures, see Hall Generator Check, Quick Check.
- Be sure all connectors are securely connected. Connect voltmeter positive lead to ignition coil terminal 15. Attach negative lead to coil terminal 1. Turn ignition "ON". See Fig 1.
- Reading should be 2 volts, and then fall to 0 (zero) volts after 1-2 seconds. Leave voltmeter connected, but turn ignition "OFF". If voltage reading is correct, replace Hall control unit.
- If readings were not to specifications, disconnect 3-wire connector at distributor. Insert a metal pin in center contact of harness connector (Green/White wire). See Fig 2.
Check voltage at ignition coil primary terminals.
- Ground metal pin briefly. Turn ignition "ON". Voltage should increase briefly to at least 2 volts. Turn ignition "OFF". Remove pin and reconnect harness connector to distributor.
Momentarily ground pin inserted in center terminal.
- If test results were satisfactory, proceed to Hall Generator (Sending Unit) Check. If not to specifications, check for open circuit in wiring. If none is found, replace Hall control unit.
