ABSTRACT:
An ignition diagnostic monitor detects ignition malfunction. A first monostable multivibrator is coupled to an ignition module to receive the ignition signal and maintain a first logic state for a predetermined first time constant after detecting an ignition signal. The monostable multivibrator maintains a second logic level state after passage of the predetermined time constant until detection of another ignition signal occurs. The second logic level indicates a missed ignition signal and an ignition fault. A control module is coupled to the ignition module and the monostable multivibrator and receives a fault detection signal from the monostable multivibrator.
