P1 CHECK RESISTANCE OF THE ELD FIELD COIL
- Ignition OFF.
- Disconnect: ELD Field Coil C4359.
- NOTE: If the temperatures are exceptionally high, a higher than normal resistance reading could result. A lower temperature could result in a lower resistance reading.
  
  Measure the resistance between ELD field coil C4359 pins 1 and 2, component side.
