- Disconnect the high-tension cable from the coil by pulling it straight off the coil tower.
- Place one lead from the multi meter on the negative post or terminal of the coil.
How to test ignition coil packs in Nissan Maxima?
The club for Nissan Maxima and Infiniti I30 / I35 owners, and the official home of Maxima Club of America! How to test ignition coil packs? I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima with a 3.5 V6 engine. I am in the process of troubleshooting a P0300. By the way, I am not a mechanic.
What should the resistance be on a Nissan coil?
Place the second lead on the positive post or terminal and note the reading on the meter. This is the primary resistance of the coil and should be between .7 and 1.7 ohms. Some cars may produce different readings so check with the dealer for values if you are not sure.
Where is the high tension cable on a Nissan coil?
The coil may be a cylinder or a square block but it will always have a high-tension cable attached to it. This cable looks like spark plug wire and runs to the center of the distributor cap. Disconnect the high-tension cable from the coil by pulling it straight off the coil tower.

What does a Nissan Altima ignition coil do?
The Nissan Altima/Sentra’s ignition coil is a three wire Coil-On-Plug ignition coil. Which means that each ignition coil has a transistor inside that plays the role of an ignition control module (ICM). Below are the circuit descriptions of each wire (circuit): Circuit labeled 1 :
What should the ohms be on a coil pack?
Set your ohmmeter to the 20000 ohms range. Turn on your meter and touch the spark plug wire terminals on one of the coils with the meter leads. You may get a reading between 5000 to 15000 ohms, depending on your particular model.
