Description and OperationDescription Ignition timing is controlled by the electronic control ignition timing system. The standard reference ignition timing data for the engine operating conditions are pre-pro grammed in the memory of the ECM (Engine Control Module)...
Description An ignition coil is an induction coil in an engine's ignition system which transforms the battery's low voltage to the high voltage needed to create an electric spark in the spark plugs to ignite the fuel. Coils have an internal resistor while others rely on a resistor wire or an external resistor to limit the current flowing into the coil from the battery 12 V supply...
Inspection 1. Turn the ignition switch OFF. 2. Disconnect the PCSV connector. 3. Measure resistance between the PCSV terminals 1 and 2. 4. Check that the resistance is within the specification. Specification: Refer to “Specification” Removal 1...
