Wiring diagram for module connections

Manufacturer specifications for dwell and voltage

ECU integration settings (if applicable)

Mounting and thermal instructions

Diagnostic or test points for troubleshooting

N/A - mostly hardware-based, some ECU integration may use software tools

Test spark via oscilloscope or spark tester

Adjust timing via ECU or module adjustment

Check module status via onboard diagnostics (if available)

Monitor engine misfires and correct module connections

Module specifications use standard electrical units (V, A, Ω)

Documentation may be localized for regional markets

Compatible with engines worldwide if rated correctly

Installation diagrams often follow standard symbols

Applicable to global automotive and powersport applications

Accessible to automotive engineers, tuners, and mechanics

Documentation provided by module manufacturers

Requires basic electrical testing knowledge

Community forums and technical manuals available

Simulation possible with test benches

No native UI; some performance modules have LEDs for status

ECU software may provide spark timing visualization

Bench testers provide waveform displays

Automotive diagnostics tools display ignition module health

Visualization limited to sensor or oscilloscope output

Module idle until triggered by sensor signal

Dwell and energy storage handled internally

High-voltage pulse released upon dwell completion

Module returns to idle for next ignition cycle

Fault or overheat conditions disable output until reset

Trigger input determines pulse timing

Internal capacitors or coils store energy state

Output voltage pulses delivered to spark plugs

Optional ECU integration logs firing events

Temperature and fault sensors manage module state
