IGNITION SYSTEM — IGNITION COIL
G-21prose procedureIGNITION COIL
Inspection
Ignition coil inspection
- 1Disconnect the ignition coil connector.
- 2Check for voltage at the positive (+) terminal of the ignition coil connector with the ignition switch in the ON position. Voltage: Approx. 12V
05U0GX-047 - 3If there is no voltage check the main fuse, ignition switch, and wire harness.
Primary coil winding
Measure resistance of the primary coil winding of each coil with an ohmmeter.
If not within specification, replace the coil.
