Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Ignition Coil: Notes
The engine has an inductive ignition system with static ignition voltage distribution. Each cylinder has a separate ignition coil, which is plugged directly into the cylinder head cover.
The ignition circuit of this coil ignition consists of:
- Ignition coil with primary and secondary coil
- Ignition output stage in the engine control unit
- Spark plug, connected to the secondary coil
Each spark plug receives its high-tension voltage from its own ignition coil (pencil coil) and a separate individual ignition output stage within the engine control unit.
