Any positional r

viewing from the driving position, the right-hand cylinder bank is designated bank 1 (A on circuit diagrams) and the left-

The cylinder bores of each bank are number ed 1 to 4, from the front of the vehicle.
Ig
nition System
Th
e ignition system provides timing cont

inputs; the system consists of:
engine
control module
igni
tion coils supply relay
ignit
ion control modules
igni

spark plu
gs
Engine Control Module (ECM)
pr
ovides triggering for the ignition control modules
to control individual firing of the spark plugs

I
gnition Coils Supply Relay
The
ignition coils supply relay is located
in the engine and transmission control mo dule compartment; refer to Relay Details
in Electrical Wiring and Circuit Protection, Section 418-01.
The ECM switches a ground to the coil of the ignition coils supply relay; the relay energizes and switches a 12v supply to the
ignition control modules and the ignition coils.
I
gnition Control Modules
T w
o ignition control modules control firing of the spark plug
s when triggered by the engine control module (ECM); the
modules provide an interface between the ECM and the coil on plugs such that:
Ignition cont

coils 1 and 4, bank 2 - coils 2 and 3.
Ignition cont
