Electronic Ignition (El) System

The electronic ignition (El) consists of a crankshaft position sensor, a pair of 4-tower ignition coils and the PCM. The ignition control module operates by sending crankshaft position information from the crankshaft position sensor to the ignition control module. The ignition control module generates a profile ignition pickup (PIP) signal (engine rpm) and sends it to the PCM. The PCM uses PIP signal in the transmission strategy, wide-open throttle (WOT) shift control, TCC control and operating pressures.
