The ECU judges that the crankshaft has reached
5°, 7° or 10° BTDC ( depending on the engine
model) when it receives the first NE signal (point

The Engine ECU sends an IGT signal to the
igniter based on signals from each sensor so as
to achieve the optimal ignition timing . This IGT
signal goes on just before the ignition timing
calculated by the microprocessor, then goes off.
The spark plug fires at the point when this signal
goes off.
