How to check the Multimeter Ignition Coil

The ignition coil often becomes the reason why the car refuses to go. Therefore, it is necessary to periodically check its performance and, if necessary, to eliminate its problems. This will help the multimeter.

How to check the Multimeter ignition coil - Possible causes of breakage

The coil may come to a malfunction for various reasons. Most often occur such damage:

• node and some details wear out;
• a diagram is disturbed by turning on the engine and feed to the spark point;
• candles burn;
• the wires are damaged.

In determining the specific type of breakdown and its parts, a multimeter is used. Of course, there are other ways to check, but this is considered the safest and correct.

Checking the coil multimeter

The multimeter is directed to work in two different modes: it is capable of checking the voltage and resistance. Therefore, with it, you can conduct a comprehensive check of the coil. It is necessary to draw the following actions.

• Start with inspection of the ignition coil. It is covered by an ebony housing that does not skip output. Close the case with a lid with the main terminal. The inner part of the coil forms the spring of the main terminal, the insulation substance, the meter and some other elements.
• Most often broken the inner details of the coil. Also, the current can be made through the housing on the cover. To make sure the character of the breakdown, you need to separate the separation of the track with the pad by having rushing the retainer.
• Set the multimeter to voltage measurement mode to check the distributor.
• Checking the traver you need to start with the connection of the device with the contact "A", as well as the output of the winding. The disconnection of the chain will be confirmed by the number seeking infinity on the display of the multimeter.
• Appliance ends to the body of the machine and the output.
• The device should show on its scale 12V. If a value is output, close to 0, then the problem lies in damage to the chain of the track.
• Check the primary winding. Set the multimeter to measure resistance. Consider it to contacts like "A / B", then check the contacts "V / C". If the device both times showed a value of 2 ohms, then the worker coil. In the absence of resistance, you need to buy a new ignition coil.

Please note: if the smell of burnt winding exits the coil, then the check can not be carried out, such a sign already indicates the fault of the coil.
