NOTE: If Tester (C-4166) with Adapter (C-4166-1) is available, use tester and follow manufacturer's instructions. If tester is not available, proceed as follows:

Check that all secondary cables, primary wire at coil and ballast resistor are not loose and not cracked excessively. Use a voltmeter with a 20, 000 ohm/volt rating and an ohmmeter which uses a 1 1/2 volt battery for its operation. Check calibration of both meters.

Check and record battery voltage reading using voltmeter. Proceed with following tests.
