5. Turn the ignition switch to the LIGHTS position.
6. Connect either tester lead to pin A; then connect the
other tester lead to pin D.
7. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
8. Connect either tester lead to pin C; then connect the
other test lead to pin B.
9. The meter must show less than 1 ohm.
10. With the switch in the OFF position, connect the red
tester lead and the black tester lead to each of the
remaining pins. The meter must show an open circuit
on all pins.
 NOTE: If the meter shows more than 1 ohm of resis-
tance, replace the switch.
Ignition Coil
The ignition coil is on the frame above the engine. To
access the coil, the left side panel must be removed.
VOLTAGE
Primary Coil
1. Set the meter selector to the DC Voltage position;
then disconnect the two wire connector from the coil.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the orange wire and the
black tester lead to battery ground.
3. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position. The
meter must show battery voltage.
Secondary Coil
1. Connect the primary ignition coil connector. Remove
the spark plug cap from the spark plug.
2. Connect the spark plug cap to Ignition Test Plug or
other suitable tool; then ground the tool away from
the spark plug hole. While turning the engine over,
check for sufficient spark.
RESISTANCE

NOTE: For these tests, the meter selector should be
set to the OHMS position.
Primary Winding
1. Disconnect the coil connector. Connect the red tester
lead to either terminal; then connect the black tester
lead to the other terminal.
2. Resistance must be less than 1 ohm.

NOTE: If the meter does not show as specified,
replace ignition coil.

NOTE: Secondary coil resistance checks are not rec-
ommended. An internal diode in the coil prevents
accurate secondary resistance measurements.
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 must show 4000-6000 ohms.

NOTE: If the meter does not read as specified,
replace the spark plug cap.
Accessory
Receptacle/Connector

NOTE: This test procedure is for either the recepta-
cle or the connector.
VOLTAGE
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position; then set
the meter selector to the DC Voltage position.
2. Connect the red tester lead to the red/white wire or
the positive connector; then connect the black tester
lead to battery ground.
3. The meter must show battery voltage.

NOTE: If the meter shows no battery voltage, trou-
bleshoot the battery, fuse, receptacle, connector, or
the main wiring harness.
Switches
The auxiliary switch connector is the two-prong connec-
tor on the brake switch lead above the gas tank on the
right side. To access the handlebar control connector,
remove the access panel.

NOTE: The ignition switch must be in the ON posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Disconnect the injector connector(s) before performing
the following procedure.
CAUTION
Always disconnect the battery when performing resis-
tance tests to avoid damaging the multimeter.
