DTC P0351-P0358

Circuit Description

The ignition system on this engine uses an individual ignition coil for each cylinder. The powertrain control
module (PCM) controls the ignition system operation. The PCM controls each coil using one of eight ignition
control (IC) circuits. The PCM commands the IC circuit low when a spark event is requested. This causes the
IC module to energize the ignition coil to create a spark at the spark plug. Each ignition coil has the following
circuits:

z

An ignition 1 voltage circuit

z

A ground circuit

z

An ignition control (IC) circuit

z

A low reference circuit

Sequencing and timing are PCM controlled. If the PCM detects that the IC circuit is out of range, DTC P0351-
P0358 sets.

Conditions for Running the DTC

The engine is operating.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The PCM detects the IC circuit is grounded, open, or shorted to voltage for less than 1 second.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

z

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic
reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating
conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze
Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

z

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

z

A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

z

A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
emission related diagnostic.

z

Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

3: This step verifies the integrity of the IC circuit and the PCM output.

4: This step tests for a short to ground on the IC circuit.
