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

Engine Control Module (ECM)
pr

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.

TE: When performing electrical voltag
e or resistance tests, always use a digital multimeter (DMM) accurate to 3
decimal places, and with an up-t o-date calibration certificate. When testing resistance, always take the resistance of the
DMM leads into account.
• NOTE: Check and rectify basic faults before beginning diagnostic ro utines involving pinpoint tests.
