without more information regarding make, model and engine we are working on, it will be impossible to answer this question specifically, however, there is a generic answer that may help. A pick-up coil, technically known as a stator, provides a low-voltage digital on-off signal to the ignition control module where it is interpreted as an RPM signal, also called PIP or profile ignition pick-up. The ignition module uses that info to decide when to fire the ignition coil. This signal from the pick-up is most likely a ground signal, but I suppose some systems might switch the positive on and off. You will have to use a special low-voltage test light(a regular 12 volt test light will not do), find the signal output wire from the pick-up, and measure the output while the engine is being cranked. You should see an on-off pulse indicated by the light blinking on and off. Remember, this is providing the stator has it's power supply and ground needed to operate, and that the distributer is turning as needed while the engine is being cranked.

How can I test the igniter on my 1996 Geo Metro with 1 liter engine when the pickup coil and the coil both test good?
It's kind of detailed. I would suggest you go to your local Advance or Autozone and see if they have or can order you a Haynes manual for that car. I know Advance can get them because that's where I got mine. They run about 17 bucks but are well worth it. There's a very detailed description on page 5-8 on how to test it. The manual # is 24075.

How do you test a pickup coil for a 1994 gmc Yukon 5.7?
To test the pickup coil on a 1994 GMC Yukon 5.7, first disconnect the wiring harness from the distributor. Use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the pickup coil terminals; it should typically read between 500 to 1500 ohms. If the reading is outside this range or shows an open circuit, the pickup coil is likely faulty and should be replaced. Additionally, you can check for voltage while cranking the engine; no signal may indicate a bad pickup coil.

To test the pickup coil on a 1993 Suzuki Sidekick, first, locate the coil, typically found near the distributor. Disconnect the wiring harness and use a multimeter to measure the resistance across the coil terminals; it should typically read between 500 to 1500 ohms. If the reading is outside this range or shows no continuity, the pickup coil may be faulty and should be replaced. Additionally, you can check for proper signal output while cranking the engine to confirm functionality.
How do you replace pickup coil gm?
To replace the pickup coil in a GM vehicle, first disconnect the battery and remove the distributor cap for access. Next, carefully remove the retaining screws or clips holding the pickup coil in place, disconnect the wiring harness, and take out the old coil. Install the new pickup coil by reversing the removal process, ensuring it's properly aligned, and reconnect the wiring. Finally, reassemble the distributor cap, reconnect the battery, and test the ignition system.
How do you test a pickup coil on a Yamaha v star classic 650?
To test the pickup coil on a Yamaha V Star Classic 650, first, ensure the motorcycle is off and disconnected from the battery. Use a multimeter set to the ohm (Ω) setting, and measure the resistance across the pickup coil terminals; it should typically be between 200-400 ohms. If the reading is significantly outside this range or shows infinite resistance, the pickup coil is likely faulty and should be replaced. Additionally, you can check for proper signal output while cranking the engine to confirm functionality.
