Test Results
1. A low resistance value indicates a short in the coil wind-
ing. Replace coil.
2. A high resistance value might indicate that there is some
corrosion/oxidation of the coil terminals. Clean the termi-
nals and repeat resistance test. If resistance is still high
after cleaning terminals, replace coil.
3. An infinite ohms (∞ or no continuity) resistance value
indicates an open circuit (a break in the coil winding).
Replace coil.
