AI caption · Photo 1572 of 1799

This document is a labeled pinout diagram of the gray distributor-mounted TFI (Thick Film Integrated) ignition control module, specifically the "Push Start" version, as used in Ford vehicles. The drawing shows the module body with two connector areas. On the top-left side, three small terminals connect toward the distributor's Hall effect sensor and are labeled: Hall Effect Ground, Hall Effect Power, and Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) Signal. On the right side, the main six-pin harness connector is labeled from top to bottom: PIP out, SPOUT in, START SIGNAL in, RUN POWER in, COIL NEGITIVE (as spelled in the document), and IGNITION GROUND. A reader can use this diagram to identify each pin's function when diagnosing ignition problems, testing the module, or wiring/rewiring the TFI harness. The diagram distinguishes this push-start gray distributor-mounted module from other TFI variants (black distributor-mounted, remote-mounted versions) referenced in companion diagrams. No part numbers, wire colors, year ranges, or torque specifications appear in this document; it is strictly a functional pin identification drawing.
