Got a Code 14?
Want to test your igniter, or ignitor?
Make sure you perform the test correctly
Igniter power transistor - TSRM pg. IG-15
NOTE: 3v test signal connection points
pin 2 for IG2
pin 2&4 for IG1
pin 2&3 for IG3
On the left side I indicate the test point at the 4 pin connector, on wiring harness side, to the coil pack pigtail.
I found those tabs on the coil pack connectors break off very easy.
Igniter bench test
I obviously used a 9v power source, but my results were the same as on the car with 12v.
My 3V source is an old two battery AA flash light. I removed the lens and bulb, soldered some lead wires to + and - connection of reflector assembly. Now I can make all connections and apply/remove test voltage while watching ohmmeter.
Actron also makes a tester that will perform this simple test.
Just make sure all test the connections are made.
