Circuit Description
The ignition system on this engine uses an individual ignition coil/module for each cylinder. The PCM controls the ignition system operation. There are eight Ignition Control (IC) circuits, one per cylinder, that connect the PCM and ignition coil/modules. Each ignition coil/module have a power feed, a chassis ground circuit and a reference low circuit. The PCM causes a spark to occur by grounding the IC circuit, which signals the ignition module to trigger the ignition coil and fire the spark plug. Sequencing and timing are PCM controlled. This DTC sets when the IC circuit is out of range.
