Ignition System

The ignition system is an electronic (distributor less) ignition system. Especially, a direct ignition system is adopted.

They consists of the parts as described below.

It detects the engine and vehicle conditions through the signals from the sensors, determines the most suitable

ignition timing and time for electricity to flow to the primary coil and sends a signal to the ignitor (power unit) in the

ignition coil assembly.

• Ignition coil assembly (including an ignitor)

The ignition coil assembly has a built-in ignitor which turns ON and OFF the current flow to the primary coil

according to the signal from ECM. When the current flow to the primary coil is turned OFF, a high voltage is induced

in the secondary coil.

One ignition coil is in charge of ignition of one cylinder only.

• Spark plugs

• CMP sensor and CKP sensor

Using signals from these sensors, ECM identifies the specific cylinder whose piston is in the compression stroke,

detects the crank angle and adjusts initial ignition timing automatically.

• TP sensor, ECT sensor, MAF sensor, IAT sensor, knock sensor, wheel speed sensor (VSS) and other

sensors / switches

Although ignition system does not have a distributor and high-tension cords, each cylinder has an ignition coil

assembly (ignitor and ignition coil) and the secondary voltage which occurred in the ignition coil is sent to the spark

plug directly. Also, the signal (s) are sent from the CMP sensor to ECM so as to control each ignition coil

independently through the ignitor (in ignition coil assembly).
