Where is the Ignition Control Module (ICM) located, and How to test and remove it on Honda Prelude?

The Ignition Control Module in the Accord and Prelude is tucked inside the distributor housing near the ignition coil, so to get to it you must pull the distributor cap back, remove the rotor, and if there is any, the dust cover. Position of the ignition wires on the distributor cap should also be identified by paper or by using other materials for identification to avoid misidentification or wrong replacement that might lead to replacement of the distributor cap and the consequent expensive charge. To test the Ignition Control Module on 2.2L and 2.3L engines start by disconnecting the distributor cap and a few wires from it and then check for battery voltage between the black/yellow and ground, then between green and ground wires. Continuity tests must be made between the yellow/green wire, the multi-connector and the Ignition Control Module with no continuity to ground. For the 2.7L engine, depending on the location, the harness connector might only consist of the yellow and green wires and the cap with wires on it; look for battery voltage on these wires and, similar to the previous engines, do continuity tests on other connections specified by the manufacturer. In the 3.0L engine, remove the distributor cap and then the 3 prong connector and verify voltage on No 2 & 3 terminals then check the continuity of Ignition Control Module and PCM leads. The Ignition Control Module can be removed by loosening the negative battery cable, then the distributor cap and rotor, and then pulling wires out of the Ignition Control Module before doing the reverse for installation. Lastly, if the battery is ever disconnected the PCM idle memory will have to be reset to normal by starting the engine and bringing it up to 3000 rpm for fan activation, allowing the engine to idle for five minutes without accessories and in Park or Neutral.

Honda Prelude Ignition Control Module

The Honda Prelude Ignition Control Module is responsible for controlling when the coil's primary circuit opens and closes so the spark hits each cylinder at just the right moment to make power easy. Early Honda Prelude engines applied a distributor with a reluctor and pickup which sent a signal to the Ignition Control Module with an internal transistor that quickly switched coil current, eliminating the need for fragile breaker points which made higher voltage and better fuel economy possible. Later generations moved to distributorless designs in which the crankshaft sensor feeds the Ignition Control Module and then the engine computer, which fires dedicated coils with even tighter timing and lower emissions. Both versions use a relay to safely route the battery power to the coil, and if the relay or Ignition Control Module fails, the starter will crank but there will be no spark to the plugs. Honda improved module reliability, but reminders exist that heat and age can suddenly silence a Prelude, and therefore quick checks for coil voltage and the flicker at the negative side will determine where the fault lies; in either the Ignition Control Module or its signal sensor. By learning how Honda tuned the Prelude ignition circuit, drivers can have a better appreciation for the hidden electronics that keep their coupes lively.
