IGNITION SYSTEM

Outline

•  A direct ignition coil for independent ignition control has been adopted.

•  An iridium spark plug has been adopted.

Structure

•  Consists of the following parts:

Spark plug	(See SPARK PLUG.)
Ignition coil	(See IGNITION COIL.)

SPARK PLUG

Purpose, Function

•  The spark plug generates spark, ignition of the air-fuel mixture occurs, and combustion of the air-fuel mixture is triggered.

Construction

•  The spark plug is installed to the cylinder head.

•  Iridium on the center electrode and platinum on the ground electrode are used (iridium spark plug).

•  Because iridium has excellent durability, extreme thinning on the center electrode is achieved.

IGNITION COIL

Purpose, Function

•  The ignition coil generates high voltage by electromagnetic induction to discharge the spark plug.

Construction

•  The ignition coil is installed to the upper part of the spark plug (direct ignition coil).

•  With the adoption of the direct ignition coil, the ignition system parts have been simplified. As a result, voltage decrease is suppressed and ignition performance for the spark plug is stabilized.

Operation

•  Optimum ignition timing is performed according to the driving conditions by integrating the ignition control function into the PCM.
