Ignition Coil Resistance Test (Santa Fe 2.4L, Sonata 2.4L & XG350)

2002 Hyundai Santa Fe Base, AutomaticSECTION Ignition Coil Resistance Test (Santa Fe 2.4L, Sonata 2.4L & XG350)
  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect suspect ignition coil 3-pin harness connector. To measure primary ignition coil resistance, connect fused jumper wire between 3-volts power supply ground (-) terminal and ignition coil power transistor terminal No. 2 (component side). Also connect an other fused jumper wire between 3-volts power supply (+) terminal and ignition coil power transistor connector terminal No. 1 (component side). See Fig 1, and go to next step
  2. Measure resistance between ignition coil power transistor terminals No. 2 and 3 (component side). Continuity should be present only when fused jumper wire is connected between 3-volts power supply (+) terminal and ignition coil power transistor connector terminal No. 1 (component side). For resistance specification, see DIS IGNITION COIL RESISTANCEΒ  table. If resistance is as specified, go to next step. If resistance is not as specified, replace ignition coil.
  3. Disconnect 3-volts power supply and ground from ignition coil power transistor terminals. Also disconnect all spark plug wires (ignition coil side). Measure secondary resistance of each ignition coil between high-voltage coil terminals. See Fig 1. For resistance specification, see DIS IGNITION COIL RESISTANCEΒ  table. If resistance is not as specified, replace ignition coil.

When to See a Mechanic

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

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