Install Ignitor Checker (49 F018 002) between 4-prong connectors. Disconnect BLK and BLU wires from coil. Install negative battery cable.
CAUTION: Ensure negative battery cable is disconnected prior to removing BLK and BLU wires from coil. DO NOT disconnect BRN wire from coil. Ensure ohmmeter leads are installed with "+" lead to ground and "-" lead to BLK wire.
Install ohmmeter between BLK wire and ground. See Fig 2. Place ignitor checker "SW1" switch to the "T1" position. Hold ignitor checker "SW2" switch on and note ohmmeter reading. Ohmmeter needle should rise to 1/3rd the distance of the scale and then return. Replace ignitor if needle operation was incorrect.

Turn ignition off. Disconnect ohmmeter and reconnect leads between BLU wire and ground. Ohmmeter "+" lead should be to ground and "-" lead to BLU wire.
CAUTION: Ensure ohmmeter is installed with "+" lead to ground and "-" lead to BLU wire. DO NOT misconnect leads.
Turn ignition on. Place ignitor checker "SW1" switch to the "T2" position. Hold ignitor checker "SW2" switch on and note ohmmeter reading. Ohmmeter needle should rise to 1/3rd the distance of the scale and then return. Replace ignitor if needle operation was incorrect.
