Ignition Coil Power Source & Ground

  1. Disconnect 3-wire ignition coil connector. Turn ignition on. Check voltage between ground and terminal "B" of ignition coil connector. See Fig 1.
  2. If battery voltage is not present, go to IGNITION COIL/POWER TRANSISTOR RELAY test. If battery voltage is present, turn ignition off. Check continuity between ground and terminal "A" of ignition coil connector.
  3. If there is no continuity, repair ground circuit between ignition coil connector terminal "A" and ground. Repeat test for each remaining coil.
