Ignition
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
This electronic control module (ECM) is an alternator driven component. It does not require a 12 volt battery source to function.
As the flywheel is rotated by the recoil rope or with the electric starter, the ignition stator generates voltage to energize the
ECM, ignition coils, and the high pressure fuel pump. The ECM receives information from the CPS, engine temperature sensor,
manifold pressure sensor, oil pressure sensor, air temperature sensor, and calculates the engine rotation position, engine
RPM, ignition timing, fuel injection timing, and fuel injection pulse width (duration). The ECM will also store past running
information and failure codes; and generates a warning horn and warning light during the event of over temperature, insufficient
oil pressure, or a sensor out of parameters.
Engine operating information and stored running history can be monitored and reviewed with the CDS and the harness adapter
that connect between the CDS and the ECM diagnostic port.
