4. As some tachometers are not compatible with this igni-
tion system, we recommend that you confirm the
compatibility of your unit before use.
5. NEVER allow the tachometer test probe to touch ground
as this could damage the igniter and/or ignition coil.
6. Do not disconnect the battery when the engine is run-
ning.
7. Check that the igniter is properly grounded to the body.
PRECAUTIONS
1. Do not leave the ignition switch on for more than 10
minutes if the engine will not start.
2. (3S±FE)
When a tachometer is connected to the system, con-
nect the test probe of the tachometer to service con-
nector of the distributor.
3. (2VZ±FE)
When a tachometer is connected to the system, con-
nect the test probe of the tachometer to terminal IG E)
of the check connector.

ON±VEHICLE INSPECTION (3S±FE)
SPARK TEST
CHECK THAT SPARK OCCURS
(a) Disconnect the high±tension cords from the spark plugs.
(b) Remove the spark plugs.
(c) Install the spark plugs to each high±tension cord.
(d) Ground the spark plug.
(e) Check if spark occurs while engine is being cranked.
HINT: To prevent gasoline from being injected from injectors
during this test, crank the engine for no more than 1
± 2 seconds at a time.
If the spark does not occurs, perform the test as follows:
CHECK RESISTANCE OF IGNITION COIL
(See page IG±7)
Resistance (Cold):
Primary 0.38 ± 0.46
Secondary 7.7 ± 10.4 k
CHECK POWER SUPPLY TO IGNITION
COIL AND IGNITER
1. Ignition switch turn to ON.
2. Check that there is battery voltage at
ignition coil positive (+) terminal. CHECK RESISTANCE OF HIGH±TENSION
CORD (See page IG±6)
Maximum resistance: 25 k per cord
CHECK RESISTANCE OF SIGNAL
GENERATOR (PICKUP COIL) (See page
IG±8) Resistance: 140 ± 180
CHECK AIR GAP OF DISTRIBUTOR
(See page IG±7)
Air gap: 0.2 mm (0.008 in.) or moreCHECK CONNECTION OF IGNITION
