Direct Ignition System (Dis): Notes

Depending on number of cylinders, ignition system is a 2 or 3-coil, distributorless ignition system. Based on crankshaft position and CMP sensor inputs, PCM controls timing and directly activates each power transistor to fire coils. On 4-cylinder engines, power transistor "A" controls primary current of ignition coil "A" to fire spark plugs on cylinders No. 1 and No. 4 at the same time. Power transistor "B" controls primary current of ignition coil "B" to fire spark plugs on cylinders No. 2 and No. 3 at the same time. On V6 engines, companion cylinders No. 1 and 4, 2 and 5, and 3 and 6 are fired together.
