It generates a voltage signal as it detects the rotation of the distributor shaft, which is linked to the engine's camshaft. This signal is sent to the ignition control module, which then triggers the ignition coil to produce a spark at the correct timing for combustion. Essentially, the pickup coil plays a crucial role in ensuring the engine runs smoothly by coordinating the ignition timing.
