DESCRIPTION

HINT:
  1. These DTCs indicate malfunctions relating to the primary circuit.
  2. If DTC P0351 is set, check the No. 1 ignition coil circuit.
  3. If DTC P0352 is set, check the No. 2 ignition coil circuit.
  4. If DTC P0353 is set, check the No. 3 ignition coil circuit.
  5. If DTC P0354 is set, check the No. 4 ignition coil circuit.

A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle.
The DIS is an ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by its own ignition coil and spark plug. The secondary wiring of each ignition coil generates a powerful voltage which is applied directly to each spark plug. The spark passes from the center electrode of the spark plug to the ground electrode.
The ECM determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition (IGT) signals to each cylinder. Using the IGT signal, the ECM turns the power transistor inside the igniter on and off. The power transistor, in turn, switches on and off the current to the primary coil. When the current to the primary coil is cut off, a powerful voltage is generated in the secondary coil. This voltage is applied to the spark plugs, causing them to spark inside the cylinders. As the ECM cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back an ignition confirmation (IGF) signal to the ECM, for each cylinder ignition.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

NOTICE:
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following inspection procedure.

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

1.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (IGNITION COIL - BODY GROUND)
