DESCRIPTION
Tech Tips
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.
If DTC P0355 is set, check the No. 5 ignition coil assembly circuit.
If DTC P0356 is set, check the No. 6 ignition coil assembly circuit.
A direct ignition system is used on this vehicle.
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 P0355 P0356 |
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 6) and E1, and IGF (1 or 2) and E1 of the ECM connectors.
Tech Tips
The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine speed increases.
| Item | Content |
|---|---|
| ECM Terminal Names | CH1: Between IGT (1 to 6) and E1 CH2: Between IGF (1 or 2) and E1 |
| Tester Range | 2 V/DIV. 20 ms./DIV. |
| Condition | Idling |
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
If the ECM does not receive any IGF signals despite the IGT signal being transmitted, it interprets this as a fault in the igniter and sets a DTC.
If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, a DTC is set 1 second after the engine is next started.

| 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 power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure) Click here.
Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the power switch on (IG) and turn the GTS on.
Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) Click here.
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes / Pending.
Read 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 again.

INSPECTION 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.
PROCEDURE
READ OUTPUT DTC
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the power switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
Read the DTCs.
