Circuit/System Description

The ignition system on this engine uses individual ignition coils and ignition control circuits for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied to each bank of ignition coils. The engine control module (ECM) controls the ignition system operation. The ECM controls each coil using the ignition control circuits. The ECM commands the ignition control circuit low when a spark event is requested. The sequencing and timing are controlled by the ECM.
