    That would indicate that whatever controls the igniter function is not allowing voltage through the igniter.

    There are a number of reasons that could be -
    The pressure switches that check for correct airflow into and out of the furnace may be malfunctioning, or the airflow path may be blocked.
    I have found wasp nests, dead birds, and huge piles of dead bugs in my intake & exhaust piping and even in the burner airbox.

    There should be a wiring diagram probably on the inside of one of the cover panels - find the igniter and work both directions from there to see
    What it connects to and what controls it.
