DTC P0352 IGNITION COIL "B" PRIMARY/SECONDARY CIRCUIT

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

DTC Detecting Condition:




A Direct Ignition System (DIS) has been adopted. 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 1 cylinder with 1 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. Based on the IGT signals, the power transistors in the igniter cuts off the current to the primary coil in the ignition coil is supplied to the spark plug that are connected to the end of the secondary coil. At the same time, the igniter also sends an ignition confirmation signal (IGF) as a fail-safe measure to the ECM.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
- 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.
- If DTC P0355 is displayed, check No.5 ignition coil with igniter circuit.
- If DTC P0356 is displayed, check No.6 ignition coil with igniter circuit.
- Read freeze frame data using the hand-held tester or the OBD II scan tool, as freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, this 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.
