Ignition Coil

The ignition coil is mounted on the fuel pump mounting

plate adjacent to the fuel pump.

VOLTAGE (Primary Side)

See Primary Coil in this sub-section.

RESISTANCE



NOTE: For these tests, the meter selector should

be set to the OHMS position.

Primary Winding

1. Connect the red tester lead to the terminal (with the

wire removed); then connect the black tester lead to

ground.

PR278A

2. The meter reading must be within specification.

Secondary Winding

1. Connect the red tester lead to the high tension lead

(with the plug cap removed); then connect the black

tester lead to ground.

2. The meter reading must be within specification.



NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,

replace ignition coil.

Spark Plug Cap

1. Connect the red tester lead to one end of the cap;

then connect the black tester lead to the other end of

the cap.

AR603D

2. The meter reading must be within specification.



NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,

replace the spark plug cap.

VOLTAGE
Primary Coil

1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position;

then disconnect the two wires from the coil.



NOTE: The coil is located to the right of the

engine and may be accessed from behind the
right-side seat with the cargo box raised.

2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange wire and the

black tester lead to the blue/white wire.

3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The

meter must show battery voltage.

EFI Sensors/Components

CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP)

SENSOR

To test the CKP sensor, see Stator Coil/Crankshaft Posi-

tion (CKP) Sensor in this section.

MANIFOLD ABSOLUTE PRESSURE

(MAP) SENSOR

1. Disconnect the MAP connector from the pressure

sensor located on the throttle body.

2. Select DC Voltage on the tester and turn the ignition

switch to the ON position.

3. Connect the black tester lead to the black/green wire

and the red tester lead to the orange/blue wire. The

meter should read 4.5-5.5 DC volts. If the meter does

not read as specified, check the ECU connector or

wiring.

4. Connect the MAP to the harness; then using Maxi-

Clips, connect the red tester lead to the brown/white

wire and the black tester lead to the black/green wire.

With the engine running at idle speed, the meter

should read approximately 1.5 DC volts.

CAUTION

Always disconnect the battery when performing
resistance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
