The function of the Saturn LS Ignition Control Module is to switch the coil primary current on and off to create the exact high voltage spark that allows the engine to start quickly and run smoothly. The Ignition Control Module functions as a type of electronic switch. It receives one of the crankshaft or distributor signals. Following this input, it interrupts the coil current on a rapid basis. This rapid interruption allows the collapsing magnetic field to boost voltage to the range of 15,000 to 40,000 volts. The higher voltage is needed to effectively jump the gap of each spark plug. The result is stronger combustion, improved mileage, and reduced emissions. The early Saturn LS models were equipped with a distributor style Ignition Control Module that was accompanied by either a magnetic or hall effect pickup. Furthermore, timing advance took place via centrifugal and vacuum means and also had to be set manually with a timing light. In subsequent car models, a distributorless arrangement became common wherein the Ignition Control Module collaborates with the engine computer, crankshaft, camshaft, and knock sensors. The computer decides initial timing and advance for every driving condition, thereby improving accuracy and reducing wear. Any failed Ignition Control Module across Saturn LS engines cuts spark completely, so diagnosis will involve confirming coil voltage by checking for flicker at the negative terminal and verifying the sensor signals with a meter or scan tool.
