Analogue/Digital ohmeter? was created by Woodyman
In the workshop manual it says to test the reading of the coil packs with an analogue ohmmeter.
Does anyone know why? Would the reading be any different than a digital multi meter?

Does it refer to a mega ohm meter?

no, all other tests for resistance on parts say 'check resistance'. The coil pack check says 'check resistance with a analogue ohmmeter.

Analogue tend to use a higher test voltage in ohm mode which might be needed to over come any diodes in the circuit.
