Meter setup to measure resistance in the primary windings of ignition coils:
• Set the rotary switch to resistance (Ω ) setting.
• If “ ” is present on the display, press the “DWL” button until “ ” disappears.
• Insert the black lead in the “COM” jack.
• Insert the red lead in the “ ” jack.
Disconnect the coil from the ignition system.
