DIS Ignition System

 

The DIS ignition system of the Motronic M 1.5.4 consists of a DIS ignition module (2 x 2 dual spark ignition coil).

The DIS ignition module is directly actuated via two final stages in the Motronic control unit.

Function:

 

Dual spark ignition coils supply the high voltage for two cylinders each. They are therefore only used when there are even numbers of cylinders (e. g. 4, 6 cylinders).

 

In the DIS ignition module, 2 sparks are induced simultaneously. This means that one spark plug ignites while the cylinder is in the power stroke (main spark), while the other spark plug ignites in the exhaust stroke of the 3600 displaced cylinder (backup spark). When the crankshaft has rotated 3600, each cylinder is two strokes further on in the cycle and the spark plugs ignite again, with reversed results.

 

In a four cylinder engine, the two dual spark ignition coils required ignite at a rate offset by 1 800. A reference mark sensor on the crankshaft ensures correct actuation of each ignition coil and calculation of the firing angle. Synchronization of the system is therefore guaranteed.

 

The Motronic M 1.5.4 uses a so - called 2 x 2 dual spark ignition coil, i. e. two dual spark ignition coils are located in one housing.

 

·    Service

 

The DIS ignition module (2 x 2 dual spark ignition coil) can be checked using the TECH 1 actuator diagnosis.

 

Static checking of the 2 x 2 dual spark ignition coil is carried out by measuring the winding resistances and the connection voltage.

 

Winding resistances in the temperature range 0 to 100 °C/ 32 to 212 °F

 

Primary:

 

Ter. 1 to Ter 2 or Ter. 3 to Ter. 2

 

0.45 to 0.65 W

 

 

Secondary:

 

Ter. cyl. 1 to Ter cyl. 4 or

Ter. cyl. 2 to Ter. cyl. 3

 

11 to 16 kW

 

 

 

 

·      Service

 

The high voltage side of the DIS ignition system can be evaluated via the cumulative signal.
