When servicing the vehicle with the VIN you entered, the following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the described symptoms.

Condition/Concern:

DTC P0351 - P0358 Mislabeled DTCs. DTC displayed on Tech 2 may not reflect actual IC circuit or coil/module or where problem is detected.

Recommendation/Instructions:

The ignition coil output driver diagnostics do not always report back the correct cylinder number to the PCM.
