Secondary Resistance

  1. Turn ignition switch "OFF". Set ohmmeter to high scale (x1000 scale). Connect one lead to coil negative terminal and other lead to coil tower (remove coil secondary wire).
  2. Ohmmeter reading should be 7700-9300 ohms with coil temperature at 75°F (24°C). With coil temperature at 200°F (93°C) or above, a maximum reading of 12,000 ohms is acceptable.
