Scope Multimeter Operation and Controls
Different secondary ignition coil adapters are available as optional equipment. These
adapters attach to either the secondary lead (spark plug lead) or directly to the secondary
ignition coil in order to pick up the secondary ignition signal.
– Universal kV Ignition Clip-on adapter - clips over a spark plug or coil lead. See Secondary
Ignition Coil Adapter Lead and Clip-on Adapter (optional)‚ on page 73.
– Universal stick and flag type adapters - are loosely positioned next to or on a secondary
ignition coil.
• General purpose single flag pick-up.
• General purpose stick pick-up.
– Vehicle specific Clip-on adapters - are directly attached to (or next to) a secondary ignition
coil (COP type) or to a distributor cap (CIC type). Secondary ignition coil-on-plug (COP)
and coil-in-cap (CIC) adapters are available for universal and engine specific
applications. All the adapters listed are available individually.
• OEM specific COP adapters:
• Ford (COP-1)
• Chrysler (COP-2)
•VW/Audi (COP-3)
• Acura/Honda/Isuzu (COP-4)
• Volvo/BMW (COP-5)
• Mercedes-Benz (COP-6)
• Mercedes-Benz Dual Type (COP-7)
• BMW (COP-8)
• Lexus (COP-9)
• Chrysler/Jeep/Lexus/Toyota (COP-11)
• OEM specific CIC adapters:
• GM HEI (CIC-1)
• Toyota/Honda (CIC-2)
z Connecting the Secondary Coil Adapter Leads:
1. Connect the black (ground) lead into the diagnostic tool test lead ground jack.
2. Connect the yellow lead into the diagnostic tool test lead channel 1 jack.
3. Connect the adapter lead ground clamp to vehicle ground. If a jumper wire is used to extend
the length of the adapter lead ground clamp lead, keep it as short as possible.
4. Connect the adapter lead RCA plug into the secondary ignition "clip-on" or COP/CIC coil
adapter as needed.
5. Clamp the secondary clip-on adapter over a spark plug or coil lead, or attach the applicable
COP/CIC coil adapter to the vehicle ignition coil.
6. Isolate the leads from other components, to avoid any unwanted noise that could be induced
onto the signal.
7. From the lab scope function, select the Ignition Probe (probe setting).
8. If needed, turn the Invert function on.
