Ignition Module (C3I System)

This category on the website [ Starting Charging Ignition Wiring & Connectors ] we are giving you all of the information related to the individual parts in the Buick Turbo Regal, along with the associated wiring, connector plugs, etc.

.

VEHICLE APPLICATION:

Buick Regal, T-Type, Turbo T, Limited, Grand National, GNX

PART NAME:

Ignition Module

PURPOSE OF PART:

controls coil pack, receives signals from cam & crank sensors, sends info to ECM

TURNS ON-OFF / FUNCTIONS / USED WHEN:

in constant use when the engine is running

LOCATION IN VEHICLE:

engine compartment, center rear, top of motor in back, under coil pack

ORIGINAL GM PART NUMBER:

25526449
ACDelco 24503624
19260720

PART BASE COLOR:

metal

CONNECTOR PLUG COLOR (PART SIDE):

black

WIRES ATTACHED (PART SIDE):

4 connector wires between ignition module and coil pack.
left to right: yellow, green, blue, dark blue.

CONNECTOR PLUG COLOR (HARNESS SIDE):

black

NUMBER OF WIRES ATTACHED (HARNESS SIDE):

14

COLOR & PURPOSE OF (HARNESS SIDE) WIRES:

14 connector wires on the ignition module.

They are labelled (on the connector) as A thru P (with no letter “I” or “O”).
A-G on 1 side, H-P on the other.
The screw that holds the connector to the IM divides these.

label – color wire – goes where:

a= white wire, EST, goes to ECM (B4) spark timing output
b= tan-black, bypass, goes to ECM (D5) ignition power bypass output
c= purple-white, ref high, goes to ECM (B5) 12v ref pulse input
d= black-red, ref low ground, goes to ECM (B3) ignition module ground
e= white-tan, tach, goes to tachometer
f= gray-red, crank signal ground, goes to crankshaft sensor “C”
g= black, crank sensor buffer/amp, goes to crankshaft sensor “B”

h= dark green, 12v crank signal power, goes to crankshaft sensor “A”
j= yellow, cam signal for sfi, goes to ECM (A11) fuel injection timing input
k= light blue, cam signal buffer/amp, goes to camshaft sensor “B”
l= black, cam sensor ground, goes to camshaft sensor “C”
m= pink-black, goes to (junction) to CCCI Fuse
n= gray-red, cam sensor 12v signal power, goes to camshaft sensor “A”
p= pink-black, ecm fuse, goes to ECM/IGN fuse (junction, with other things)

OTHER NOTES:

[SEE coil pack]

This is part of the CCCI (Computer Controlled Coil Ignition, or “C3I”) system.
[the Coil Pack is the other part of this setup]
[see the “Coil Pack” page for details about that section]

Coil Pack/Ignition Module replacement requires a new gasket every time either of these are done.

C3I module connector (IM module connector) on the 1986/1987 is different than 1984/1985

For better performance, we created our own ignition module hotwire kit
