Main task
The CDM does an initial signal processing of the ionization signals from each ignition coil. The CDM transmits three signals to the ECM:
- Knock signal
- Combustion signal 1 (cylinders 1 and 3)
- Combustion signal 2 (cylinders 2 and 4)
These signals are used for knock control, synchronization of ignition timing/fuel injection and for misfire detection.
