Circuit Description
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual ignition coil/module for each cylinder. The PCM controls the ignition system operation. The PCM controls each coil using one of eight Ignition Control (IC) circuits. The PCM commands the IC circuit low when a spark event is requested. This causes the IC module to energize the ignition coil to create a spark at the spark plug. Each ignition coil/module has the following circuits:
A power feed
A ground circuit
An ignition control (IC) circuit
A reference low circuit
Sequencing and timing are PCM controlled. This DTC sets when the IC circuit is out of range.
Conditions for Running the DTC
The engine is operating.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
The PCM detects the ignition control circuit is grounded, open or shorted to a voltage.
Conditions met for less than 1.0 second.
