⁽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.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

• You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
• Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
• The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
• You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
• You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
