IGNITOR (Power Unit)
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1997 Suzuki Swift. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Turn ignition on. Using a voltmeter, check for battery voltage at ignition coil between coil positive terminal (Black/White wire) and ground. If battery voltage does not exist, check ignition fuse circuit.
- To test ignitor, turn ignition off. Remove ignitor from its bracket. Connect two 1.5-volt batteries in series (3 volts). Connect a jumper wire from ignitor terminal "G" to negative side of batteries. Connect another jumper wire from ignitor terminal IB to positive side of batteries. See Fig 1 .
- Using an ohmmeter, connect positive lead to ignitor terminal "G" and negative lead to ignitor terminal OC. See Fig 1 . Check for continuity with voltage from batteries applied. Continuity should not exist with batteries disconnected from ignitor. Replace ignitor if continuity is not as specified.
