Hyundai Elantra: Ignition System / Ignition Coil
Description and operation
An ignition coil is an induction coil in an engine's ignition system which transforms the battery's low voltage to the high voltage needed to create an electric spark in the spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Coils have an internal resistor while others rely on a resistor wire or an external resistor to limit the current flowing into the coil from the battery 12V supply.
Troubleshooting
Connector assembly status test
1. | Remove the connector (A) and reinstall it. |
Test for changing position of each ignition coil
A : Ignition coil w/ misfire code
B : Ignition coil w/o misfire code
•
| Do not move with spark plug at the same time (move the ignition coil only) |
