Circuit Operation

- Turn ignition switch to "ON" position, and battery voltage will be applied to primary winding of ignition coil.
- When crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor signal is input to engine control module, engine control module makes ON-OFF control of power transistors one by one.
- When power transistor is turned on, current flows from ignition coil (primary winding) to ground through power transistor.
- When power transistor A is turned from ON to OFF, the spark plugs of No. 1 and No. 4 cylinders spark. Turning of power transistor B from ON to OFF will produce sparking in spark plugs of No. 2 and No. 5 cylinders. Furthermore, when power transistor C is turned from ON to OFF, sparking is produced in spark plugs of No. 3 and No. 6 cylinders.
