Circuit/System Testing
- With the engine running, monitor the Cylinder 1-8 IC Circuit Status parameters with a scan tool.
- If a short to GND or Open status test displays FAULT, test for an open/high resistance or short to ground on the affected IC circuit terminal C.
- If a short to volts status test displays FAULT, test for a short to voltage on the affected IC circuit terminal C.
- Exchange the affected ignition coil/module with the ignition coil/module of a cylinder that is not affected.
- Start and run the engine. With a scan tool, monitor the IC circuit parameters and the Misfire Current counters.
- If the circuit status fault identified or the misfire transfers with the ignition coil/module, replace the ignition coil/module assembly.
- If the circuit status fault identified or the misfire does not transfer with the ignition coil/module, replace the ECM.
IMPORTANT:
A high resistance on any IC circuit can cause a misfire condition before DTCs P0351-P0358 set.
