IGNITION COIL OUTPUT
A paper clip of approximately 20 mm (3/4 in) will
be used as a test adapter for the following test.
1. Clip the test adapter around spark plug cable
close to MAG side spark plug.
2. Connect tester wires then set switch and dial
as follows:
NOTE:
Different reading occurs if N tester
wire is connected to PTO side spark plug ca-
ble.
1. Engine ground
2. MAG side
A. 20 mm (3/4 in)
3. Crank engine and observe indicator.
NOTE:
If engine starts, allow it to idle while
observing indicator. Then, shut engine off.
4. Push reset button and repeat step 3 twice.
Results:
a.
Indicator lamp lights:
Ignition system is
OK.
b.
Indicator lamp does not light on one or
both cylinder:
The problem is a faulty igni-
tion coil/module.
IGNITION MODULE
Ignition module can not be tested with the Bom-
bardier ignition tester. When other components
test good, the module is probably faulty. Try a new
module.
LIGHTING GENERATOR COIL
OUTPUT
NOTE:
The lighting generator coil is not part
of the ignition system. It is a separate sys-
tem that supplies current to the lighting system
and AC-powered devices. However it can be test-
ed with the same tester.
1. Disconnect wiring harness junction block at en-
gine (the one with YELLOW and YELLOW
wires).
2. Connect tester wires then set switch and dial
as follows:
1. Yellow
2. Yellow
3. Crank engine and observe indicator.
4. Push reset button and repeat step 3 twice.
