Circuit/System Description |
The ignition system on this engine uses individual ignition coils and ignition control (IC) circuits for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied to each bank of ignition coils. The engine control module (ECM) controls the ignition system operation. The ECM controls each coil using the IC circuits. The ECM commands the IC circuit low when a spark event is requested.
The sequencing and timing are ECM controlled.
Conditions for Running the DTC |
• |
The engine is operating.
|
• |
The ignition voltage is between 10-18 volts.
|
• |
The engine speed is between 400-5,000 RPM.
|
• |
The DTCs run continuously once per crankshaft revolution after the above conditions are met for 20 crankshaft revolutions.
|
Conditions for Setting the DTC |
P0351-P0356
The ECM detects the ignition control circuit is open for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.P2300, P2303, P2306, P2309, P2312, or P2315
The ECM detects the ignition control circuit is shorted to ground for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.P2301, P2304, P2307, P2310, P2313, or P2316
The ECM detects the ignition control circuit is shorted to voltage for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.Action Taken When the DTC Sets |
DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300, P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, and P2316 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC |
DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300, P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, and P2316 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids |
• |
Inspect the ignition coils for aftermarket devices. An aftermarket device connected to the ignition coil circuits, may cause this DTC to set.
|
• |
If the condition is intermittent, moving the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring a scan tool to check suitable cylinder parameter for misfire. This may help to pin-point the problem.

Circuit/System Verification |
1. |
Operate the engine for 30 seconds. Note the DTC information with a diagnostic tool. DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300, P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, or P2316 shall not be activated.
|
2. |
Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
|
Circuit/System Testing |
1. |
Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate T8 ignition coil.
|
2. |
Ignition OFF, all vehicle systems OFF, it may take up to 2 minutes for all the systems to power down, test for less than 5 Ω between the ground circuit terminal A and ground.
|
3. |
If greater than the specified range, repair the ground circuit for an open/high resistance.
|
4. |
Ignition OFF, test for less than 5 Ω between the low reference circuit terminal B and ground.
|
5. |
If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM.
|
6. |
Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between ignition voltage circuit terminal D and ground.
|
7. |
If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition voltage circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and replace as necessary.
|
8. |
Engine running, observe the Ignition Coil 1-6 Control Circuit Low Voltage Test Status on the scan tool. Test Status should be Ok or Not Run.
|
9. |
If test status is Malfunction test for open or short to ground.
|
10. |
Engine running, observe the Ignition Coil 1-6 Control Circuit Open Test Status on the scan tool. Test Status should be Ok or Not Run.
|
11. |
If test status is Malfunction test for open circuit.
|
12. |
Engine running, observe the Ignition Coil 1-6 Control Circuit High Voltage Test Status on the scan tool. Test Status should be Ok or Not Run.
|
13. |
If test status is Malfunction test for short to voltage.
|
14. |
If all circuits test normal, test or replace the appropriate T8 ignition coil.
