The Electronic Ignition (EI) system is a coil-on-plug ignition system. The coil-on-plug ignition system consists of the:
- ten ignition coil-on-plugs.
- ten spark plugs.
The 10 separate ignition coil-on-plugs:
- change low voltage signals from the PCM to high voltage pulses.
- produce the high voltage pulses to the spark plugs.
- are connected directly to the spark plug.
The 10 spark plugs change high voltage pulses into a spark which ignites the fuel and air mixture.
