Electronic ignition control module test system

Abstract

A method for testing an electronic ignition control module utilizes the steps of: placing the electronic ignition control module in electrical communication with an electronic ignition control module tester; the tester identifying the electronic ignition control module in electrical communication therewith so as to determine the type thereof; the tester performing testing of the electronic ignition control module, the particular tests performed being dependent upon the particular electronic ignition control module type being tester; the tester indicating pass/fail condition of the electronic ignition control module. Having the tester identify the electronic ignition control module type and perform testing which depends upon the particular electronic ignition control module type being tested eliminates the need for a user to define the tests to be performed. An adaptor cable being dedicated for use with a particular electronic ignition control module type is preferably utilized to electrically interconnect the electronic ignition module tester and the electronic ignition control module. The adaptor cable preferably facilitates identification of the electronic ignition control module type.
