To prevent confusion when connecting wires, later modifications of Renault 19 have numbers applied, so that the possibility of incorrectly connecting high-tension wires to the ignition coil or spark plug wires is almost excluded.
- Measuring the voltage between the "+" terminal and ground; it should be at least 9.5 V.
- Measuring resistance: With the ignition off, remove all wires from the ignition coil.
- Using an ohmmeter with a measurement range of 0-1 Ohm and 1-10 k Ohm, measure the resistance between the ignition coil terminals "-" and "+" (primary winding). The resistance value should be 0.6-0.2 Ohm.
- The measurement result on the secondary winding should be 2-12 k.
- These measurements cannot be used to determine a short circuit in the ignition coil.
- If there is not enough secondary voltage in the ignition system, although the ignition module and control unit are in good working order, then the ignition coil must be replaced.
Removal the ignition coil
Although the ignition coil is combined with the ignition module into a single unit, it can be replaced separately in the event of a malfunction.

1. Disconnect the ground cable from the battery.
2. Remove the connectors from the ignition coil.
3. Disconnect the ignition coil high-tension central wire. To do this, unhook both safety hooks.
4. Remove both TORX screws and remove the ignition coil from the ignition module.
