Ignition Coil/Module

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

Each ignition coil/module has the following circuits:

The engine control module (ECM) controls the individual coils by transmitting timing pulses on the IC circuit of each ignition coil/module to enable a 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 plug electrode is tipped with platinum for long wear and higher efficiency.
