Ford E6SZ-12A297-A Ignition Module

Duraspark II Ignition Control Module checks include verifying power, checking distributor stator resistance, and ensuring ground circuit continuity. If battery voltage doesn't reach the module, trace the circuit to the ignition switch and battery. Incorrect test results mean the module should be replaced, involving detaching the battery cable, unplugging connectors, removing screws, and installing a new module. TFI-IV Ignition Control Module checks include inspecting and reconnecting ignition wiring, testing the ignition coil circuit, and checking module power. Resistance checks should be performed between specific terminals. Incorrect results require module replacement, involving removing the distributor and module, and installing a new one. EDIS Ignition Control Module checks involve inspecting and reconnecting coil wiring, testing the coil circuit, and checking module power. Resistance checks should be performed on the crankshaft sensor. Incorrect results require module replacement, involving disconnecting the battery cable and electrical connector, removing screws, and installing a new module.

For the TFI-IV ignition control module (distributor-mounted or remote-mounted), follow the specified steps for removal and installation. Apply silicone dielectric grease to the back of the module before installing it.

Install the ICM onto the heat sink and tighten the mounting bolts to 15-35 inch lbs. (1.7-4.0 Nm).

Remove the ICM.

Before replacing ignition system components, check with your dealer service department to see if your vehicle qualifies for a Federally mandated extended warranty of 5 years or 50,000 miles. For vehicles with Electronic Engine Control (EEC), be aware t hat disconnecting the battery may cause the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) to lose its memory, resulting in abnormal driving symptoms for the first 10 miles or so until the PCM relearns its adaptive strategy.

For ignition module replacement, you should detach the negative battery cable, unplug electrical connectors, remove mounting screws, and replace the module or stator.

You should always ensure safety measures when working with the ignition system.

The caution is that the ignition module is a delicate and relatively expensive electronic component, and improper procedures could lead to damage to the module or other electronic devices.

Remove the two screws holding the module to the heatsink.

Coat the metal baseplate of the module with silicone dielectric compound or equivalent.
