NOTE: An analog-type ohmmeter should be used.

NOTE: Connect the negative probe of the ohmmeter to terminal 2.

CAUTION: This test must be performed quickly (in less than 10 seconds) to prevent coil from burning and ignition power transistor from breaking.

As described in the table below, perform a continuity check on the ignition power transistor. Replace the ignition power transistor if there is a malfunction.
