DIS – below this cut will be understood only the ignition with synchronous ignition with coils
with two terminals. (English: DIS, German: DFS - doppel funken spule - twin ignition coils).

Diagnosis of Secondary Ignition
In the measurement of high-voltage signals it is mandatory to use capacitive pick-up probes.
Otherwise there is a high risk to damage to the oscilloscope input.
During diagnosis of DIS systems in secondary voltage is not necessary to use sensor for
synchronization in the first cylinder because in DIS it is known which channel of the
oscilloscope to which cylinder is attached.
Channel A and Channel B:
Capacitive pick-up 1: Connected to Channel A of the oscilloscope and clamped to high
voltage cable that plug out of the first cylinder’s spark plug.
Capacitive pick-up 2: Connected to Channel B of the oscilloscope and clamped to high
voltage cable, which come out from the spark plug of second cylinder.
Then in order to watch the other two cylinders the capacitive probes are moved as follows:
Capacitive pick-up 1: It is already connected to Channel A of the oscilloscope and clamped
to high voltage cable that plug out of third cylinder spark plug.
Capacitive pick-up 2: It’s already connected to Channel B of oscilloscope and clamped to
high voltage cable that plug out of the forth cylinder spark plug.
EXT input (External trigger) – In this measurement on this input of oscilloscope does not
include any probe. If you need to measure engine speed (RPM), then to this input is connected
inductive pick-up.
In the diagnosis of DI systems on secondary voltage is not necessary to use sensor for
synchronization in the first cylinder because they know which channel of the oscilloscope to
which cylinder is attached. You can use the inductive pick-up, which is connected to the EXT
input, if you need to measure engine RPM.
Channel A and Channel B:
Capacitive pick-up 1: It is connected to Channel A of the oscilloscope and clamped to high
voltage cable that plug out of a spark plug of random cylinder.
Capacitive pick-up 2: It is connected to Channel B of oscilloscope and clamped to high
voltage cable which comes out of a spark plug of random cylinder.
Then in order to watch the other two cylinders the capacitive probes must be moved.

EXT input (External trigger) – In this measurements to this input of the oscilloscope no
probe is connected. You can use the inductive pick-up, which is connected to the EXT input,
if you need to measure the engine speed (RPM).

At higher speeds, the speed of movement of the pistons is increased at this time to
burn the mixture does not change - so the spark must occur earlier. Therefore the
advance must be increased.
At the same speed of the crankshaft, the throttle position (throttle) may vary. This
means that the cylinder will form a mixture of different composition and burning
rate of the mixture depends on its composition. At fully open throttle (fully
depressed accelerator pedal) the mixture burns faster and should be lit later - thus,
when the engine load is increased, you must reduce the advance. Conversely,
when the throttle is not tightly closed, the burning rate of the working mixture is
less, so you need to increase the advance.
• Drilling voltage - Firing Line
This is the value of voltage in the secondary circuit at the time of appearance of
the spark. In fact this is the maximum voltage in the secondary circuit. It directly
depends on the distance between the electrodes of spark plugs and the mixture in
the cylinders. A spark incurred at the time, which interrupts the current flow
through the primary winding of the ignition coil. Typical value of this tension is
between 7 kV and12 kV.
• Voltage combustion of the mixture - "spark Kv"
The point when the actual spark across the gap starts to take place. This part of
the pattern is called "spark Kv", or the energy required to actually initiate the spark
and keep it going. Spark Kv is affected by the actual resistance of the secondary
circuit, from the ignition wire, through the plug, across the gap to ground. High
spark Kv means higher than normal resistance, and lower spark Kv means lower
than normal resistance. Tensions in the secondary circuit of ignition during the
combustion of spark is usually between 1 kV-2 kV.
• Burn Time - spark line (called the spark duration)
The length of the combustion of spark. Normally is between 1.5 ms to 2 ms.
The "spark line" is the actual time the spark is moving across the plug gap.
Normally, this should be between 1.5 milliseconds to 2.0 milliseconds. Anything
under 0.8 milliseconds usually means that a misfire has occurred. It is affected by
the circuit resistance, just like spark Kv, but the neat thing about the burn line is
that it is a window into the combustion process.
