⁽¹⁾	Measuring primary resistance is normally not necessary. Measure between coil terminals No. 1 and 15 (on 3-pin connector, 2 outside terminals).

⁽²⁾	A high tension isolation diode is installed in secondary circuit of ignition coil. Measuring secondary coil resistance is not possible with conventional instruments.

⁽³⁾	Measuring primary resistance is not possible.

⁽⁴⁾	Measured between ignition coil towers, including spark plug cables and spark plug connectors.

⁽⁵⁾	Measured across ignition coil towers with spark plug wires and spark plug connectors removed.
