The Honda Civic ignition system is composed of the ECM/PCM (Engine Control Module/Powertrain Control Module), the battery, a 15-ampere fuse, the ignition coil relay, the four (4) ignition coils, and the four (4) spark plugs.

Honda Civic Ignition Coil Removal

STEP 1 – Disconnect the ignition coil connectors (A), then remove the ignition coils (B).

STEP 2 – Install the ignition coils in the reverse order of removal.

Spark Plug Inspection

One – Inspect the electrodes and ceramic insulator.

• Burned or worn electrodes may be caused by:
  • Advanced ignition timing
  • Loose spark plug
  • Plug heat range too hot
  • Insufficient cooling

• Fouled plugs may be caused by:
  • Retarded ignition timing
  • Oil in combustion chamber
  • Incorrect spark plug gap
  • Plug heat range too cold
  • Excessive idling/low speed running
  • Clogged air cleaner element
  • Deteriorated ignition coils

Two – If the spark plug electrode is dirty or contaminated, clean the electrode with a plug cleaner.

NOTE:
Do not use a wire brush or scrape the iridium electrode since this will damage the electrode.
Use a chemical cleaner such as Carb Spray to clean contamination on the electrode.
When using a sand blaster spark plug cleaner, do not clean for more than 20 seconds to avoid damaging the electrode.

Three – Do not adjust the gap (A) of iridium tip plugs; replace the spark plug if the gap is out of specification.

Electrode Gap Standard (New): 1.0-1.1 mm (0.039-0.043 in.) 

Four – Replace the plug at the specified interval or if the center electrode is rounded (A). Use only the listed spark plugs.

Five – Apply a small amount of anti-seize compound to the plug threads, and screw the plugs into the cylinder head, finger-tight. Then torque them to 25 N·m (2.5 kgf·m, 18 lbf·ft).

Starting System, Charging System, and Ignition System Wiring Diagram

The wiring diagram in Figure 1 shows the details of the starting system, charging system, and the ignition system. We are going to analyze and describe each of the system as we go on.

STARTING SYSTEM

The starting system is composed of the 12-V battery, the starter, the starter cut relay, and the ignition switch. The starter itself is composed of the starter motor and the solenoid. The solenoid is responsible for switching the high current required by the starter motor. You will notice that the starter motor is powered directly from the battery without any intervening fuses thru the solenoid switch controlled by the solenoid coil. The solenoid coil, in turn, is powered thru the ST terminal of the ignition switch and thru the starter cut relay. The starter cut relay is a safety interlock to prevent the starter from switching on when the transmission is not in the parked position.

CHARGING SYSTEM

The alternator is responsible for charging the battery when the engine is running. The alternator is formed by the field coils, rectifier diodes, and a voltage regulator unit. When running, the field coils of the alternator produce an AC voltage that is fed to the rectifier. The rectifier converts the AC voltage into a DC voltage and sends it to the voltage regulator unit. The voltage regulator unit adjusts the output voltage depending on the power needs.

Also part of the charging system is the ELD or the Electronic Load Detector. The ELD senses the amount of current drawn from the battery and signals the ECM (Engine Control Module) to adjust the alternator’s field strength. As a consequence, the output voltage of the voltage regulator is adjusted depending on the battery’s current requirement.

IGNITION SYSTEM

The parts of the ignition system are the four (4) sparkplugs, its corresponding four (4) ignition coils, and the ignition coil relay. Each ignition coils have their own ICMs (Ignition Control Module) that are connected to the ECM/PCM, which controls the timing of the firing of the sparkplugs.
