DTC P0351-P0358: Ignition Control 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 8 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:

• An ignition 1 voltage circuit.
• A ground circuit.
• An IC circuit.
• 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.
