Electronic Ignition (EI) System

The electronic ignition system consists of the PCM, a crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and one multi-tower ignition coil. The CKP sensor sends a crankshaft position signal to the PCM. The PCM then sends the appropriate ignition signal to the ignition coil. The PCM uses this signal in the transaxle shift strategy, as well as torque converter clutch (TCC) control and electronic pressure control. Wide open throttle (WOT) shift control is also affected by the EI system input.
