What is the error code for ignition coil B?

What is the error code for ignition coil B?

Error Code P0352 is defined as Ignition Coil B Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction. This code is a generic trouble code, meaning it applies to all vehicles equipped with OBD-II tool, or vehicles made since 1996 up to present.

Are there ignition coil primary / secondary circuit codes?

If there are cylinder specific ignition coil primary /secondary circuit codes present, they may help you to pin point the defective circuit or coil/pack. If there are no cylinder specific codes present, you will need to find out which coil, coil pack, or circuit is malfunctioning.

When does the PCM set an ignition coil code?

The PCM sets an ignition coil control circuit code P0351-P0358 when it detects a problem with the ignition coil circuit. The last digit of these codes references the cylinder where the issue is occurring. For example, P0351 indicates a fault in the #1 cylinder coil circuit.

What causes a p0351 code on an ignition coil?

In some cases, the insulation of the coil gets damaged, causing a short. In other cases, the problem stems from bad spark plugs and wiring issues. The P0351 code may appear when your car’s primary computer, which is often referred to as the powertrain control module (PCM), perceives a problem with the cylinder #1 ignition coil or its circuit.

Error Code P0352 is defined as Ignition Coil B Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction. This code is a generic trouble code, meaning it applies to all vehicles equipped with OBD-II tool, or vehicles made since 1996 up to present.

This is enough to fire the spark plugs. The PCM sets an ignition coil control circuit code P0351-P0358 when it detects a problem with the ignition coil circuit. The last digit of these codes references the cylinder where the issue is occurring. For example, P0351 indicates a fault in the #1 cylinder coil circuit.

What does p0351 mean on an ignition coil?

For example, P0351 indicates a fault in the #1 cylinder coil circuit. Likewise, P0358 indicates a problem with the coil circuit on cylinder #8.

Why is my ignition coil not turning on?

It’s likely bad. If you don’t detect any frequency signal from the PCM on the ignition coil driver circuit indicating the PCM is grounding/ungrounding the circuit (or there is no visible pattern on the scope if you have one) then leave the coil disconnected and check for DC voltage on the driver circuit at the ignition coil connector.
