The ignition system on this engine uses individual ignition coils and ignition control (IC) circuits for each cylinder. Ignition voltage is supplied to each bank of ignition coils. The engine control module (ECM) controls the ignition system operation. The ECM controls each coil using the IC circuits. The ECM commands the IC circuit low when a spark event is requested.
The sequencing and timing are ECM controlled.
• | The engine is operating. |
• | The ignition voltage is between 10-18 volts. |
• | The engine speed is between 400-5,000 RPM. |
• | The DTCs run continuously once per crankshaft revolution after the above conditions are met for 20 crankshaft revolutions. |
The ECM detects the ignition control circuit is open for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.
The ECM detects the ignition control circuit is shorted to ground for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.
The ECM detects the ignition control circuit is shorted to voltage for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.
DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300, P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, and P2316 are Type B DTCs.
DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300, P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, and P2316 are Type B DTCs.
• | Inspect the ignition coils for aftermarket devices. An aftermarket device connected to the ignition coil circuits, may cause this DTC to set. |
• | If the condition is intermittent, moving the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the appropriate scan tool Misfire Current Cylinder parameter may help to isolate the condition. |

• | Terminal D for LY7 |
• | Terminal 2 for LLT |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the ignition voltage circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and replace as necessary. |
• | Terminal C for LY7 |
• | Terminal 1 for LLT |
⇒ | If less than the specified range, test the IC circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit/connection tests normal, replace the ECM. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the IC circuit for a short to voltage. If the circuit/connection tests normal, replace the ECM. |
• | Terminal A for LY7 |
• | Terminal 3 for LLT |
• | Terminal 4 for LLT |
⇒ | If the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for an open/high resistance. |
Note: This step only applies to the LY7 engine.
⇒ | If greater than the specified range, test the low reference circuit for an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal, replace the ECM. |
