90980-10295 2 IGF Igniter Verification Signal Input This is pin is used to detect if ignition has taken place successfully. If no ignition is occurring and fuel injection continues the spark plugs can be fouled and backfires can occur in the exhaust, the igniter sends a signal to inform the engine so that it can stop fuel injection if successful ignition is not detected.

This pin connects to the signal output of the oxygen sensor that is mounted in the exhaust.  The factory oxygen sensor is a 'narrow band' oxygen sensor that outputs approximately 0V when the air fuel ratio is lean and approximately 1V when the air fuel ratio is rich.  The engine ECU will aim to keep the engine running at stoichiometric by alternating between very slightly rich and very slightly lean conditions, as the sensor is only a narrow band sensor this is a practical way to achieve (or very close to) the desired stoichiometric air fuel ratio.  
90980-10295 12 KNK Knock Sensor Input This pin is used to measure engine knock.
