LIGHTING GENERATOR COIL
VOLTAGE TESTING
NOTE: The lighting generator coil is not part of
the ignition system. It is a self-contained system
used to supply current to the lighting system and
to other devices working on alternating current.
However, this system can be tested using a mul-
timeter.
1. Disconnect housing from engine (YELLOW and
YELLOW/BLACK wires).
2. Connect multimeter wires, then place selector
switch to and scale to 0.00 VAC .
3. Activate the manual starter and check values in-
dicated by the multimeter.
4. Repeat operation 3 times.
5. Compare readings with those appearing in the
LIGHTING table.
CONCLUSION
If none of the above testing operations produced
valid results, it is strongly recommended to keep
on testing according to the list appearing in the
Resistance column of the LIGHTING table.
