The technical specifications of the modules are similar for
engines LGW 523 and LGW 627. Despite this fact, different
types can be mounted since the programming maps can vary.
Make sure that the right one is installed in case of
replacement.
The spark lead curve is the same for both engines LGW 523
and LGW 627

The functionality test of the ignition module should be carried out by means of the relative instrument. The module should be
replaced if faults are discovered.
LGW 523 coil
The coil is powered by two wires.
The red one is constantly powered by the battery through 15-54.
The brown (or pale blue) wire is controlled by the module.
To charge the coil, the module is grounded by the second wire via an
internal contact: this allows current to circulate (regulated by the
module and no longer at 6 A) and the magnetic circuit of the coil to
charge.
The moment in which the spark must strike, the ground connection is
opened. This causes the voltage to rapidly rise on the secondary and
thus produce the spark.
At engine speed of less than 900 r/min, the coil is powered when the
lamination enters the sensor, to guarantee maximum energy during
the ignition phase.
At higher speeds, the module measures the time that elapses between two successive entries of the lamination, thus
evaluating the rotating speed of the engine.
The sparking point is chosen according to the rotating speed in a table measured by the module.
More precisely, the table gives the time that must be waited after the lamination has entered the sensor before the coil is
activated. The coil remains activated for 1.5 ms (0.0015 sec.) after which the spark is struck.
Since the coil activation point is determined by the module according to the rotation speed value measured during the
previous revolution, module calculations may involve an excessive delay in the coil activation instant in the case of repeated
accelerations and this may make the engine misfire.
To prevent this from happening, the spark is never given beyond the point the enabling lamination leaves the sensor even if
the delay time calculated by the module has not yet elapsed.
The coil can be checked by means of the instrument used to test the module.
Faulty coils must be replaced.
