CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
HINT:
These DTCs indicate malfunction related to the primary circuit.
If DTC P0351 is displayed, check No.1 ignition coil with igniter circuit.
If DTC P0352 is displayed, check No.2 ignition coil with igniter circuit.
If DTC P0353 is displayed, check No.3 ignition coil with igniter circuit.
If DTC P0354 is displayed, check No.4 ignition coil with igniter circuit.
A Direct Ignition System (DIS) is used on this vehicle. The DIS improves the ignition timing accuracy, reduces
high–voltage loss, and enhances the overall reliability of the ignition system by eliminating the distributor.
The DIS is a 1–cylinder ignition system which ignites one cylinder with one ignition coil. In the 1–cylinder
ignition system, the one spark plug is connected to the end of the secondary winding. High voltage generated
in the secondary winding is applied directly to the spark plug. The spark of the spark plug passes from the
center electrode to the ground electrode.
The ECM determines the ignition timing and outputs the ignition signals (IGT) for each cylinder. Using the
ignition (IGT) signal, the ECM turns on and off the power transistor inside the igniter and this switches on
and off the current to the primary coil. When the current flow to the primary coil is cut off, high–voltage is
generated in the secondary coil and this voltage is applied to the spark plugs to spark inside the cylinders.
As the ECM cuts the current to the primary coil, the igniter sends back the ignition confirmation (IGF) signal
for each cylinder ignition to the ECM.

If the ECM does not receive the ignition confirmation signal (IGF) after sending the ignition signal (IGT), the
ECM interprets this as a fault in the igniter and sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand−held tester or the OBD II scan tool. Freeze frame data records the
engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determining whether
the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air–fuel ratio was lean or rich,
etc. at the time of the malfunction.
