DESCRIPTION
Tech Tips
These DTCs indicate malfunctions relating to the primary circuit.
If DTC P0351 is output, check the No. 1 ignition coil assembly (No. 1 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0352 is output, check the No. 2 ignition coil assembly (No. 2 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0353 is output, check the No. 3 ignition coil assembly (No. 3 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0354 is output, check the No. 4 ignition coil assembly (No. 4 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0355 is output, check the No. 5 ignition coil assembly (No. 5 cylinder) circuit.
If DTC P0356 is output, check the No. 6 ignition coil assembly (No. 6 cylinder) circuit.
A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle.
The DIS is a 1-cylinder ignition system in which each cylinder is ignited by one ignition coil assembly 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 spark of the spark plugs passes 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 the current supplied to the primary coil on and off. 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.

Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope
While idling the engine, check the waveform between terminals IGT (1 to 6) and E1, and IGF1 (2) and E1 of the ECM connectors.
| ECM Terminal Name | CH1: IGT1, 3 or 5 and E1 CH2: IGF1 and E1 |
| CH1: IGT2, 4 or 6 and E1 CH2: IGF2 and E1 |
|
| Tester Range | 2 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
| Condition | Idling |
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.
MONITOR STRATEGY
| Required Sensors/Components (Main) | Igniter (Cylinder 1 to 6) |
| Required Sensors/Components (Related) | Crankshaft position sensor |
| Frequency of Operation | Continuous |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the engine switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [B].
Read the pending DTCs.
Tech Tips
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.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
Tech Tips
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 steps [A] and [B] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Note
Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.
Tech Tips
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. 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.
