gnition coil and spark plug reference
Any positional r
eferences are base
d upon the following convention:
viewing from the driving position, the right-hand cylinder bank is designated bank 1 (A on circuit diagrams) and the left-
hand cylinder bank as bank 2 (B on circuit diagrams).
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
rol in accordance with the engine mana gement strategy and powertrain sensor
inputs; the system consists of:
engine
control module
igni
tion coils supply relay
ignit
ion control modules
igni
tion coils
spark plu
gs
Engine Control Module (ECM)
pr
ovides triggering for the ignition control modules
to control individual firing of the spark plugs
supplies ground for
the igni
tion coils supply relay
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
Page 1074 of 2490
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
rol module 1 drives bank 1 -
coils 1 and 4, bank 2 - coils 2 and 3.
Ignition cont
rol module 2 drives bank 1 -
coils 2 and 3, bank 2 - coils 1 and 4.
