IGNITION SYSTEM INSPECTION
• If no spark jumps at the plug, check all connec-
tions for loose or poor contact before measuring
the peak voltage.
• Use a commercially available digital multimeter
with an impedance of 10 MΩ/DCV minimum.
• The display value differs depending upon the
internal impedance of the multimeter.
Connect the peak voltage adaptor to the digital
multimeter or use the peak voltage tester.
TOOL:
Imrie diagnostic tester (model 625) or
Peak voltage adaptor
with commercially available digital multimeter
(impedance 10 MΩ/DCV minimum)

• Check all system connections before performing
this inspection. Loose connectors can cause
incorrect readings.
• Check that the cylinder compression is normal
for each cylinder and the spark plugs are
installed correctly in each cylinder head.
Remove the right side cover (page 2-4).
Disconnect the fuel pump 3P (Natural) connector.
Remove the right air guide (page 2-10).
Front side:
Disconnect all spark plug caps from the spark plugs.
Connect known-good spark plugs to all spark plug
caps and ground them to the cylinder heads as
done in a spark test.
