IGNITION SYSTEM
1. General
A DIS (Direct Ignition System) has been adopted. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high-voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS in 1NZ-FXE engine is an independent ignition system which has one ignition coil (with igniter) for
each cylinder.
2. Ignition Coil
The DIS provides 4 ignition coils, one for each cylinder. The spark plug caps, which provide contact to the
spark plugs, are integrated with an ignition coil. Also, an igniter is enclosed to simplify the system.
3. Spark Plug
Iridium-tipped spark plugs have been adopted to realize a 60,000-mile (100,000 km) maintenance-free op-
eration. Their center electrode is made of iridium, which excels in wear resistance. As a result, the center
electrode is made with a smaller diameter and improved the ignition performance.

CHARGING AND STARTING SYSTEM
MG1 and MG2 (Motor Generator No.1 and 2) have been adopted in the charging system, and the convention-
al generator has been discontinued.
Furthermore, due to the adoption of MG1 for the starting system, the conventional starter has been discontin-
ued.
