Ignition systems may use multiple coils where each additional coil
gives proportionately fewer pulses per revolution.
Tachometer reading erratic, pointer jumps high or low
❑ Incorrect wiring
Reconnect the tachometer as specified in this manual
❑ Signal not intended to drive a Tachometer
Check for a more suitable connection point.
Use the ECU tachometer output signal in preference to the coil neg-
ative.
No Tachometer reading
❑ Incorrect wiring
Check the connection of the engine speed wire to the ignition system (or sen-

the coil, check that it is to the switched low tension side (usually the
negative side).

old in the menu structure—see page 54.
