DISTRIBUTORLESS IGNITION MODULE

Module And Pin-Out

The main function of the DIS module is to switch between ignition coils and cause these coils to spark. The
module receives the PIP and CID signals as well as the SPOUT signal from the ECA. During normal operation, PIP
is sent to the ECA to provide base timing and engine RPM information. The CID signal provides the DIS ignition
module with the information required to synchronize the ignition coils so that they are fired in the proper order.
The SPOUT signal contains the optimum spark timing and dwell information. The spark angle is determined by
the rising edge of the SPOUT signal. The falling edge controls the ON or dwell time of the coil current. The dwell
time is controlled by varying the duty cycle of the SPOUT signal. With the proper inputs from PIP, CID, and SPOUT
the DIS module turns the coils On and Off in the proper order for spark control.
