Coil Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1996 Chrysler New Yorker and 1996 Chrysler LHS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect ignition coil electrical connections. Using a DVOM, measure resistance of primary and secondary coil circuits. Measure primary circuit resistance between battery terminal and terminal for cylinders being checked. See Fig 1 .
  2. Measure secondary circuit resistance across coil towers. See Fig 1 . See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE  table. If resistance is within specification, ignition coil is okay. If resistance is not within specification, replace ignition coil.
IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE - Ohms @ 70-80°F (21-27°C)
