Ignition Control Module

Each ICM has the following circuits:

The ECM can command each ignition coil ON by grounding the control circuit of the ignition coil. The control circuit is pulse width modulated ON/OFF in order to precisely control the spark event.

The spark plugs are connected to each coil by a short boot. The boot contains a spring that conducts the spark energy from the coil to the spark plug. The spark plugs are tipped with platinum for long wear and higher efficiency.
