DTC P0351 Ignition Coil "A" Primary / Secondary Circuit
DTC P0352 Ignition Coil "B" Primary / Secondary Circuit
DTC P0353 Ignition Coil "C" Primary / Secondary Circuit
DTC P0354 Ignition Coil "D" Primary / Secondary Circuit
DESCRIPTION
- HINT:
- These DTCs indicate malfunctions relating to the primary circuit.
- If DTC P0351 is set, check the No. 1 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0352 is set, check the No. 2 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0353 is set, check the No. 3 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0354 is set, check the No. 4 ignition coil assembly circuit.
The direct ignition system is a 1-cylinder ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil assembly and a spark plug is connected to the end of each secondary wiring. A powerful voltage, generated in the secondary wiring, is applied directly to each spark plug. Spark of the spark plugs passes from the center electrode to the ground electrodes.
The ECM determines the ignition timing and transmits the ignition signals (IGT) 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 signal (IGF) to the ECM, for each cylinder ignition.

| DTC No. | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
| P0351 P0352 P0353 P0354 | No IGF signal to ECM while engine running (1 trip detection logic) |

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope
- While cranking or idling the engine, check the waveform between terminals IGT (1 to 4) and E1, and IGF1 and E1 of the ECM connectors.
- HINT:
- The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine speed increases.
Item Content ECM Terminal Names (1) Between IGT (1 to 4) and E1
(2) Between IGF1 and E1Tester Range 2 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. Condition Idling with warm engine

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.
Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the ignition switch to ON.
Turn the tester on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
Read the DTCs.
- Result:
Result Proceed to One of DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353 and P0354 is output. A Some of DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353 and P0354 are output. B
