DESCRIPTION
- HINT:
- These DTCs indicate malfunctions relating to the primary circuit.
- If DTC P0351 is output, check the No. 1 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0352 is output, check the No. 2 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0353 is output, check the No. 3 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0354 is output, check the No. 4 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0355 is output, check the No. 5 ignition coil assembly circuit.
- If DTC P0356 is output, check the No. 6 ignition coil assembly circuit.
The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil, and one 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. The sparks of the spark plugs pass from the center electrode to the ground electrodes.
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.

DTC Code | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area |
P0351 P0352 P0353 P0354 P0355 P0356 | No IGF signal is sent to the ECM while the engine is running (1 trip detection logic). |
|
- Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
- While cranking or idling the engine, check the waveform between terminals IGT (1 to 6) and E1, and IGF1 and E1 of the ECM connector.
Item Content Terminal CH1: IGT1, IGT2, IGT3, IGT4, IGT5, IGT6 - E1
CH2: IGF1 - E1Equipment Setting 2 V/DIV.
20 msec./DIV.Condition Cranking
MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If the ECM does not receive any IGF signals despite transmitting the IGT signal, it interprets this as a fault in the igniter and stores a DTC.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is stored 1 second after the engine is next started.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
- Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
- Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
- Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the tester on.
- Start the engine.
- Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.
- Read the pending DTCs.
- HINT:
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.
- Input the DTC: P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355 or P0356.
- Check the DTC judgment result.
Tester Display Description NORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System normal
ABNORMAL - DTC judgment completed
- System abnormal
INCOMPLETE - DTC judgment not completed
- Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions
N/A - Unable to perform DTC judgment
- Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit
- HINT:
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform the Confirmation Driving Pattern and the DTC judgment result again.
- DTC judgment completed

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. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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.
