How to test the GM ignition control module?
You can find this tutorial in Spanish here: Cómo Probar El Módulo de Encendido GM 4.3L, 5.0L, 5.7L (1995-2005) (at: autotecnico-online.com ). Generally, when the ICM or the ignition coil fails, your GM car or truck will Crank but NOT START.
What is the code for ignition control problems?
Trouble Code 42: Had Problems, Replaced Ignition Control Module, Had problems, replaced ignition control module, pickup coil, coil, also timing chain. Now when I have the EST unplugged I time the motor where it starts and runs, then I shut off the truck and plug the EST back together, and start the truck it wont start.
What should I do if I replaced ignition control?
Had problems, replaced ignition control module, pickup coil, coil, also timing chain. Now when I have the EST unplugged I time the motor where it starts and runs, then I shut off the truck and plug the EST back together, and start the truck it wont start. I moved the distrubutor a little and it starts and runs fine.
What are the wires in the ignition module?
The ignition control module (ICM) has 4 wires coming out of it. Below are the descriptions of what each circuit does. Each circuit is identified by a letter, and this is the same letter that you will find on the ignition module’s connector. Power (12 V) Circuit. Ignition Control (IC) Signal. Engine Ground Circuit. Switching Signal Circuit.

Is the Ford ignition control module interchangeable?
These ignition control modules (ICM) are not interchangeable but are tested in the exact same way. Also, the photos (in the image viewer) show some of the tests performed on a V8 engine. This might make you think that they don’t apply to your 3.0L, 3.8L V6.
How does the crank sensor control the ignition module?
The ignition module starts to turn On and Off the ignition coils in their proper firing order to create spark, after the crank signal arrives. This On/Off action is the Switching signal referred to above. Under 400 RPM’s, the ignition control module controls spark timing without the help of the fuel injection computer.
How does the ignition control module ( PCM ) work?
Now, the important thing to know is that the PCM controls the creation of spark from the get-go (crank up) and at all engine speeds thru’ the ignition control module (ICM). The really cool thing about this type of ignition system is that all of these signals ( IC Signal and the Switching Signal) can be tested easily with some very simple tools.

How can I tell if my ignition module is bad?
Connect the timer to the positive terminal of the battery and check the continuity of the black output wire while cranking the starter. If the light blinks, the module is good. If the light is blank or constant, the module is bad. Before you attempt to replace the control module, you must rule out other ignition system components.
How to test the ignition module and crank sensor?
So, if you’re driving a Chevy, a Buick, a Pontiac, or an Oldsmobile with either one of these engines, not forgetting the Isuzu Rodeo or Trooper, this ‘How To Test The Ignition Module’ and 7X (3X) article applies. There are two other articles that may help:
