Diagnostic Fault Information
Circuit/System Description
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual coil/module for each cylinder. The engine control module (ECM) controls the spark event for
each cylinder through the eight individual ignition control circuits. When the ECM commands the ignition control circuit ON, electrical current will
flow through the primary winding of the ignition coil, creating a magnetic field. When a spark event is requested, the ECM will command the
ignition control circuit OFF, interrupting current flow through the primary winding. The magnetic field created by the primary winding will
collapse across the secondary coil windings, producing a high voltage across the spark plug electrodes. The ECM uses information from the
crankshaft position sensor, and the camshaft position sensor for sequencing and timing of the spark events.
Conditions for Running the DTC
* The engine is running.
* The ignition voltage is greater than 6 V.
* DTC P0351-P0356 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.
