Ignition Coil Check

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect harness connector from ignition coil negative terminal. Using an ohmmeter set to x1 range, connect ohmmeter to coil primary terminals. Resistance reading should be 0.84-1.02 ohms.
  2. Set ohmmeter to x1000 range. Connect ohmmeter leads to coil's positive terminal and coil tower. Resistance reading should be 8200-12, 400 ohms. If either reading is not within specifications, replace ignition coil.
