Maybe there are different versions of the AFM, but this one here:
http://www.redskyventures.org/doc/cessna-poh/Cessna_208_C208_675HP_1998_POH_Cessna-Caravan-updated-to-2004.pdf
explains how the ignition system is supposed to work. See chapter 7, "Ignition System". It does not directly answer your question but will provide you with enough information to find the answer.
