Ignition Output Tests

Harness resistance test:
If control signal is NOT present, calibrate multime-
ter to low ohms scale. Use appropriate adapters
on meter leads to avoid damaging harness con-
nectors.
With EMM OFF, remove the EMM J1-B connector
and test the continuity of each ignition control cir-
cuit (orange). Check resistance between J1-B
connector and ignition coil connector. Refer to
engine wiring diagram.
If circuits test good, replace EMM .
Ignition Coil Tests
There are no simple ignition coil tests available.
Before replacing an ignition coil, be sure:
•
55 V is supplied to the white/red wire of the igni-
tion coil connector
•
A control signal is present on the orange wire of
the ignition coil connector. Refer to
Ignition
Control Circuit Tests on p. 88.
•
The black wire of the ignition coil connector pro-
vides continuity to ground.
•
The secondary spark plug lead provides conti-
nuity.
If all of the above tests are good, and a cylinder
does not have spark, replace the ignition coil with
a known good coil.
Capacitor Test
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the capacitor is dis-
charged before testing. Make a momentary con-
nection between the two terminals to ground any
stored energy.
Remove capacitor from electrical harness.
Use an ohmmeter set on the high ohms scale to
test the capacitor. Connect the meter leads to the
capacitor terminals:
•
If the capacitor is working correctly, it will store
energy from the meter. The resistance reading
will increase until it goes to (nearly) infinity.
•
If the capacitor is shorted, the reading will
immediately show full continuity.
•
If there is an open circuit in the capacitor, the
meter will show no continuity.
If the resistance reading starts as a negative num-
ber, or the reading goes down in value, the capac-
itor already retains some stored energy. Ground
the capacitor and test again.
