Resistance Wire Check

  1. Disconnect 2-wire control module connector and remove coil connector from coil. Connect ohmmeter leads to "BATT" terminal of coil connector and to harness connector terminal mating with Red control module wire. Read ohmmeter, then reconnect all connectors.
  2. If resistance is .8-1.6 ohms, problem is either intermittent or not in ignition system. If resistance was less than .8 or more than 1.6 ohms, replace resistance wire.
