Hall-Effect Device
Another device that can be used to create a triggering signal is a hall-effect device. A hall-
effect device can be thought of as a solid-state On/Off switch. The hall-effect switch is a
three-wire device that must receive a power and ground. The hall-effect switch is used in
conjunction with an interrupter ring with a series of slots or openings cut into it. Depending
on the application, these slots are spaced around the ring in a specific configuration. As
the ring rotates, the slots pass between the hall-effect switch, and alternately turns the
voltage off and on. When a slot aligns with the hall-effect switch, the controller sees
voltage on the signal line. When the area between slots passes the hall-effect switch, the
signal is pulled low. This results in a voltage of 0V
–0.1V at the controller.
Ignition Coil
The heart of the automotive ignition system is the ignition coil. The ignition coil is a step-up
transformer, since it boosts battery voltage to the high voltage that is necessary for proper
combustion.
The ignition coil consists of a primary winding and secondary winding wrapped around a
soft iron core. The primary winding is made up of several hundred turns of heavy wire,
while the secondary winding consists of thousands of turns of fine wire. The iron core is
used to conduct magnetic lines of force efficiently.
When current flows through the primary winding, a magnetic field is created. The more
time current is permitted to flow, the stronger the magnetic field becomes. When the
current is turned off, the magnetic field collapses causing a high voltage to be induced in
the secondary winding through the process of induction.
A few hundred volts will be generated in the primary winding because of the collapsing
magnetic field across the heavy primary wire. However, as the magnetic lines of force cut
across the thousands of turns of fine wire in the secondary, a far greater voltage is
produced. The production of primary voltage is called self-induction, since the primary
winding essentially magnifies its own initial voltage when the magnetic field collapses.
Related Symptoms
Faulty ignition system components along with loose connections, bad grounds, high
resistance or opens in the circuit, may cause the following symptoms:
No start condition
Stalling after cold start
Stalling after hot start
Surging off idle
Extended crank time when engine is cold
Unstable idle
Running rough during off idle acceleration
Bucking
Hesitation
Stumble
Poor fuel economy
