Ignition Coil Resistance

Using a DVOM, measure primary coil resistance between specified coil terminals. See Fig 1-Fig 4 . On Galant, measure between terminals No. 11 and 12. On Mirage measure between terminals No. 1 and 2. On all other vehicles, measure between positive and negative terminals. Measure secondary coil resistance between coil positive terminal and ignition coil tower. Primary and secondary coil resistance should be within specification. See IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.

IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE - Ohms @ 68°F (20°C)
