circuits:
* Ignition voltage
* Ground
* Ignition control (IC)
* Low reference
If the ECM detects that the IC circuit has an incorrect voltage level, DTC P0351-P0358 will set.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The ignition is ON.
* DTC P0351-P0358 runs continuously when the above condition is met.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The ECM detects one of the following failures on the IC circuit:
* An open
* A short to ground
* A short to voltage
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
DTCs P0351-P0358 are Type B DTCs.
Conditions for Clearing the DTC
DTCs P0351-P0358 are Type B DTCs.
Diagnostic Aids
* This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See:
Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test).
* A high resistance condition on any IC circuit can cause an engine misfire without setting DTC P0351-P0358.

Circuit/System Verification
1. With the engine running, monitor the following ignition control (IC) circuit status parameters with a scan tool:
* Cylinder 1-8 IC Ckt. Short Gnd Test Status
* Cylinder 1-8 IC Ckt. Open Test Status
* Cylinder 1-8 IC Ckt. Short to Volts Test Status
