Ford 3.8L DIS Ignition Wiring Diagram - EEC-IV, Coil Pack & Sensor Pinouts

DIS module wiring schematic for the 3.8L showing crankshaft (PIP) and camshaft (CID) sensor pinouts, SPOUT in-line connector, ignition coil pack, and EEC-IV processor links (CID 24, PIP 56, SPOUT 36, IGN GND 16, IDM 4).

This document is a Ford DIS (Distributorless Ignition System) wiring diagram for the 3.8L engine, showing the electrical interconnections between the crankshaft sensor, camshaft sensor, DIS module, ignition coil pack, and the EEC-IV processor. Connector views are shown looking into the wiring harness. The crankshaft sensor's 4-pin connector carries PIP EEC, PIP S, IGND PS, and VBAT PS signals (circuit reference numbers 33, 35, 55, 56). Five signal lines run to the EEC-IV processor: CID 24, PIP 56, SPOUT 36, IGN GND 16, and IDM 4, with a SPOUT in-line connector in the SPOUT circuit and a case ground shown. The camshaft sensor connector carries IGND CS, CID CS, CID EEC, and VBAT CS. The DIS module's 12 pins are mapped across two connectors: pins 1-6 include VBAT D, CID D, PIP D, and SPOUT; pins 7-12 include IDM, C2D, C3D, C1D, and IGND D. The 3.8L ignition coil connector carries coil drive circuits C2C, C3C, C1C and VBAT C. A note explains that IGN GND is a low-current reference grounded through the DIS module's metal base plate, and proper operation requires a low-resistance ground path. Reference number A12747-A.

Frequently asked questions

What signals run from the DIS module to the EEC-IV processor?
Five lines go to the EEC-IV processor: CID (pin 24), PIP (pin 56), SPOUT (pin 36), IGN GND (pin 16), and IDM (pin 4).
What is the pinout of the 3.8L crankshaft sensor connector?
Pin 1 is PIP EEC (33), pin 2 is PIP S (35), pin 3 is IGND PS (55), and pin 4 is VBAT PS (56).
What are the DIS module pin assignments?
Pins 1-6: pin 1 VBAT D (5), pin 2 CID D (51), pin 4 PIP D (32), pin 5 SPOUT (36). Pins 7-12: pin 12 IDM (4), pin 11 C2D (18), pin 9 C3D (6), pin 8 C1D (3), pin 7 IGND D (2).
How is the ignition coil pack wired on the 3.8L DIS system?
The 4-pin ignition coil connector carries C2C (12) on pin 1, C3C (13) on pin 2, C1C (14) on pin 3, and VBAT C (7) on pin 4.
How is IGN GND grounded in this DIS system?
Per the note, IGN GND is a low-current reference for the EEC-IV processor and DIS module; it is connected to battery negative (ground) via the DIS module metal base plate, and proper operation depends on a low resistance path to ground.
