- | Now, __very briefly__, touch the grounded jumper wire to Pin#6 of Cable Connector 10B (the connector on the cable, not on the ICM itself) - By briefly touching that pin, you will charge the coil for the FRONT sparkplug and it should fire a spark when you remove the jumper wire from Pin#6. | + | Now, __very briefly__, touch the grounded jumper wire to Pin#6 of Cable Connector 10B (the connector on the cable, not on the ICM itself) - By briefly touching that pin, you will charge the coil for the FRONT sparkplug and it should fire a spark on the spare plug when you remove the jumper wire from Pin#6. |
- | Remove the front spark plug cable. With the spare spark plug grounded to the fins, connect your rear spark plug cable to the spare plug. | + | Remove the front spark plug cable from the spare plug. Connect the rear spark plug cable to the spare plug and be sure spare plug is grounded to the fins. |
- | Now __briefly__ touch the grounded jumper wire to Pin#7 of Cable Connector 10B - This will energize the coil for the REAR plug and when the jumper wire is removed that coil should fire the rear spark plug. | + | Now __briefly__ touch the grounded jumper wire to Pin#7 of Cable Connector 10B - This will energize the coil for the REAR sparkplug and when the jumper wire is removed that coil should fire the spare plug thru the rear spark plug cable. |
This not only tests the coils, but all the wiring from ICM to the Spark Plugs. Power down and put everything back where it belongs. | This not only tests the coils, but all the wiring from ICM to the Spark Plugs. Power down and put everything back where it belongs. | ||
- | If this test fails to produce a spark at each spark plug, and the spark plug wires and spark plugs are functional, then the coil itself is suspect. A (temporary) replacement coil should be utilized and the test performed again. | + | If this test fails to produce a strong, bright spark at each spark plug, and the spark plug wires and spark plugs are functional, then the coil itself is suspect. A (temporary) replacement coil should be utilized and the test performed again. |
**2007-2013** With the implementation of the Eletronic Fuel Injection Ignition System, there is now a System Relay. The Engine Control Module (ECM) is located under the seat. | **2007-2013** With the implementation of the Eletronic Fuel Injection Ignition System, there is now a System Relay.
