The Chevrolet Cobalt Ignition Control Module controls spark timing so that the engine fires with a proper punch for smooth starts and efficient driving. The Ignition Control Module activates and deactivates the coil's primary circuit at high speed in response to inputs from the crankshaft position sensor and other inputs. In so doing, it creates and collapses magnetic fields that send an electrical surge of between 15,000 and 40,000 volts to each spark plug. The Chevrolet Cobalt relied on two module generations inside Chevrolet showrooms. The Ignition Control Module was early on paired with a distributor. A reluctor wheel along with a magnetic or hall pickup sent the trigger. As a result, there were no wear-prone breaker points while voltage was boosted. Subsequent distributorless designs kept the Ignition Control Module but allowed the engine computer to determine timing. By removing mechanical advance parts, the electronic signal would instead provide highly accurate timing data that improved power, mileage, and lower emissions. Regardless of the module style, a module failure will terminate coil power, causing no spark and a no-start condition. However, a quick test light or DVOM check can help determine whether the Ignition Control Module is faulty or the wiring or sensor. Chevy owners should note that modern electronics may last longer. Nevertheless, the heat and age will take their toll on the module, so timely replacement is key to keeping the Cobalt running reliably.
