Power Transistor: Description and Operation

Fig. 34 Power Transistor and Ignition Coil

PURPOSE and OPERATION

It allows the signal sent from the ECU (very low current) to activate the primary circuit in the ignition coil (much higher current). This induces
high voltage in the secondary windings of the ignition coil, providing spark to the distributor cap and plugs.

LOCATION
