To test the ignition coil and ignitor on a 1990 Toyota V6, start by disconnecting the ignition coil's electrical connector and using a multimeter to check the primary and secondary resistance of the coil according to the specifications in the service manual. For the ignitor, you can perform a continuity test to ensure it is functioning properly; check for resistance between specified terminals. If either component is out of spec, it may need to be replaced. Additionally, you can check for output spark by connecting a spark tester to the coil's output and cranking the engine.
To test the ignitor on a 1993 Toyota Tercel, first, ensure the ignition switch is off and disconnect the battery. Then, locate the ignitor, which is typically mounted near the distributor. Use a multimeter to check the resistance across the ignitor terminals; refer to your vehicle's service manual for the specific resistance values. If the readings are outside the specified range, the ignitor may be faulty and should be replaced.
To test a lamp ignitor, first, ensure the power is off. Then, use a multimeter to check for continuity by connecting the probes to the ignitor's input and output terminals. If there is no continuity, the ignitor may be faulty and needs replacing.
To test the igniter on a 1994 Toyota Corolla remove the ignitor for the distributor. Using an ohmmeter check to see if it reads the proper voltage. If there is to little replace the unit.
There are ways to tell if it's not working, and that is if you drive on a rainy or damp day, it may stop working. A good way to test the coil is in a dark room or at night, spray water on the coil. If it sparks, it needs replacing.
I tested the ignitor for my '86 vulcan 750 and as I suspected it showed bad. I followed the info in my service manual.
To test the headlight ignitor and ballast on a 2002 Acura TL, first disconnect the battery, then remove the headlight assembly and access the ignitor and ballast. Use a multimeter to check for continuity in the ignitor and ensure the ballast is receiving proper voltage. If either component is faulty, replace it. To install, reconnect the new ignitor and ballast, secure them in place, reassemble the headlight assembly, and finally reconnect the battery to test the headlights.
For your question, i see the ignitor means the Electronic Ballast. If you want test HID lamp electronic ballast, you can reference Lisun WT2000-HID HID Ballast Tester, this instrument is main for test HID lamp electronic ballast,
To test a high-pressure sodium (HPS) ignitor, first ensure that the power is off to the fixture. Use a multimeter to check for continuity across the ignitor terminals; a reading indicates it is functioning properly. Additionally, you can observe the ignitor during startup; if it fails to ignite the lamp after a few attempts, it may be defective and should be replaced. Always follow safety precautions when working with electrical components.
most of this problem is ignition coil fail, you can test it by exchange with other one.
hey are located inside the distributor and function as the trigger for the ignition system to produce spark. The pickup coil monitors the rotation
remove the distributor cap and clamp a test light to ground. hold the point of the test light about 1/2" from the coil output electrode. have someone crank the engine and look to see if sparks jump across to the point on the testlight. if they do the coil is ok. if they dont clamp the testligt to the + terminal of the coil and put the point on the - side. again, have somone crank the engine, if the light flashes the signal is good. replace the coil.
