1994 Toyota Tercel DX, 4D Sedan, StandardSECTION Ignition Coil Resistance
- Disconnect wiring from ignition coil so ignition coil is isolated from system. Using an ohmmeter, check primary resistance between ignition coil positive (+) and negative (-) terminals. See Fig 1 and Fig 2.
- Check secondary resistance between ignition coil positive (+) terminal and high tension terminal (coil wire tower). See Fig 3 and Fig 4. Replace ignition coil if resistance is not within specification. See appropriate IGNITION COIL RESISTANCE table.
