Ignition Coil Secondary Resistance

  1. Place ignition switch in "OFF" position. Disconnect ignition coil connector and secondary wire from coil tower. Measure resistance between negative coil terminal and coil tower. See Fig 1.
  2. If reading is between 6500-11,500 ohms, ignition coil is okay. Go to WIRING HARNESS  test. If reading is less than 6500 ohms or greater than 11,500 ohms, replace ignition coil.
