TESTING
1991 Models
Using a suitable ohmmeter, check the resistance cold between the terminals of the signal generator.
The signal generator (pick-up coil) resistance cold should be as follows:
NE–G- — 180–220 ohms
G1–G- — 140–180 ohms
G2–G- — 140–180 ohms
If the resistance is not correct, replace the distributor housing assembly.

1992 Models
Using a suitable ohmmeter, check the resistance cold between the terminals of the signal generator.
The signal generator (pick-up coil) resistance cold should be as follows:
NE–G- — 155–240 ohms
G1–G- — 125–190 ohms
G2–G- — 125–190 ohms
If the resistance is not correct, replace the distributor housing assembly.
1993–95 2TZ-FE Engines
Using a suitable ohmmeter, check the resistance cold between the terminals of the signal generator.
The signal generator (pick-up coil) resistance cold should be as follows:
NE–G- — 155–250 ohms
G1–G- — 125–200 ohms
G2–G- — 125–200 ohms
If the resistance is not correct, replace the distributor housing assembly.
1995–97 2TZ-FZE Engines
Using a suitable ohmmeter, check the resistance of the signal generator.
Pick up coil resistance should be as follows:
1995 Cold — 125–200 ohms
1995 Hot — 160–235 ohms
1996 Cold — 135–220 ohms
1996 Hot — 175–255 ohms
1997 Cold — 125–200 ohms
1997 Hot — 160–235 ohms
If the resistance is not correct, replace the distributor housing assembly.
