Primary/Secondary Ignition Testing
2. Where does this voltage come from?
3. The ignition coil connector terminals B and A are grounds and go to the ground studs located at the rear of the engine. Hook up a voltmeter set to read Hz (frequency) to terminal C (IC signal circuit) of the ignition coil connector. Start the engine and read the frequency of the IC circuit. A properly working circuit should read 3-20 Hz. What is the reading of the circuit being tested? __________ Hz
4. Shut engine down.
5. If the reading was 0 Hz, what could be wrong? __________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________
6. Can the ignition coil primary circuit be tested for an open circuit with an Ohmmeter? _____________________________________________________________________
7. Reconnect the injector and ignition coil. Start engine and ensure proper engine operation and clear any DTC’s with the scan tool.
