Ignition System Inspection; Ignition Coil Primary Peak Voltage - Honda CB HORNET 160R 2015 Shop Manual

IGNITION SYSTEM INSPECTION

• If there is no spark at the plug, check all connections
for loose or poor contact before measuring the peak
voltage.
• Use a recommended digital multimeter or commercially
available digital multimeter with an impedance of 10
MΩ/DCV. minimum.
• The display value differs depending upon the internal
impedance of the multimeter.
• If using the Imrie diagnostic tester (model 625), follow
the manufacturer's instructions.
Connect the peak voltage adaptor to the digital multimeter,
or use the Imrie diagnostic tester.
TOOL:

VOLTAGE
• Check all system connections before this inspection.
Poor connected connectors can cause incorrect
readings.
• If the system is disconnected, incorrect peak voltage
might be measured.
• Check the cylinder compression, and check that the
spark plug is installed correctly in the cylinder head.
Shift the transmission into neutral and disconnect the spark
plug cap from the spark plug.
Connect a known-good spark plug to the spark plug cap,
and ground it to the cylinder head as done in a spark test.
