DTC P0352 Ignition Coil 2 Control Circuit


Object Number: 218521  Size: PAGE-WIDE
Click here for detailed picture of above image.

Circuit Description

The ignition system on this engine uses an individual ignition coil/module for each cylinder. The PCM controls the ignition system operation. The PCM controls each coil using one of eight Ignition Control (IC) circuits. The PCM commands the IC circuit low when a spark event is requested. This causes the IC module to energize the ignition coil to create a spark at the spark plug. Each ignition coil/module has the following circuits:

Sequencing and timing are PCM controlled. This DTC sets when the IC circuit is out of range.

Important

If all the Ignition Control (IC) DTCs are set at the same time, inspect the IC ground circuits for an open.

  1. Install a scan tool.
  2. Idle the engine.
  3. Monitor the (IC) Ignition Control status for the cylinder with the ignition control DTC using the scan tool in the Misfire Data List.

Does the scan tool indicate Fault?

  1. Turn ON the ignition leaving the engine OFF.
  2. Review the Freeze Frame and/or Failure Records data for this DTC and observe the parameters.
  3. Turn OFF the ignition for 15 seconds.
  4. Start the engine.
  5. Operate the vehicle within the conditions required for this diagnostic to run, and as close to the conditions recorded in Freeze Frame/Failure Records as possible. Special operating conditions that you need to meet before the PCM will run this diagnostic, where applicable, are listed in Conditions for Running the DTC.
  6. Select the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) option, the Specific DTC option, then enter the DTC number using the scan tool.

Does the scan tool indicate that this diagnostic failed this ignition?

  1. Turn OFF the engine.
  2. Disconnect the ignition coil electrical harness.
  3. Idle the engine.
  4. Measure the frequency at the ignition control signal circuit using the DMM J 39200 on the DC Hertz setting.

Is the frequency within the specified range?

3.0-20 Hz

Go to Step 8

Go to Step 5

  1. Turn OFF the ignition.
  2. Disconnect the PCM connector C1 located on the opposite side of the manufacturer's logo. Refer to PCM Replacement/Programming .
  3. Test the continuity from the IC circuit (at the ignition coil harness connector) to the PCM connector using the DMM J 39200 .

Does the DMM indicate continuity?
