DTC (PGM-FI)
- Problem verification
-1. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
-2. Clear the DTC with the HDS.
-3. Start the engine.
-4. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.
DTC Description Confirmed DTC Pending DTC Freeze Frame P0351 No. 1 Cylinder Ignition Coil Circuit Malfunction P0352 No. 2 Cylinder Ignition Coil Circuit Malfunction P0353 No. 3 Cylinder Ignition Coil Circuit Malfunction P0354 No. 4 Cylinder Ignition Coil Circuit Malfunction Is DTC P0351, P0352, P0353, and/or P0354 indicated?
YES
The failure is duplicated. Go to step 2.
NO
Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the ignition coil and the PCM. If the freeze data/on-board snapshot of this DTC is recorded, try to reproduce the failure under the same conditions with the freeze data/on-board snapshot .
- Ignition coil check
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
-2. Exchange the ignition coil from the problem cylinder with one from another cylinder.
-3. Start the engine.
-4. Check for Pending or Confirmed DTCs with the HDS.

YES
Replace the faulty ignition coil .
NO
Go to step 3.
- Shorted wire check (IG1 (IGN COIL)/IG1 (COIL)/IG COIL RLY OUT line)
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
-2. Check the following fuse.
Fuse No. B8 (15 A) Location Under-hood fuse/relay box Is the fuses OK?
YES
Go to step 4.
NO
Repair a short in the IG1 (IGN COIL)/IG1 (COIL)/IG COIL RLY OUT wire between the ignition coil and the No. B8 (15 A) fuse. Also replace the No. B8 (15 A) fuse.
- Relay check
-1. Remove the ignition coil relay (A) from the under-hood fuse/relay box.
-2. Test the ignition coil relay .
Is the relay OK?
YES
Go to step 5.
NO
Replace the ignition coil relay.
- Open wire check (IG1 (IGN COIL)/IG1 (COIL)/IG COIL RLY OUT) line)
-1. Reinstall the ignition coil relay.
-2. Disconnect the following connector (s).
Ignition coil 3P connector (problem cylinder) -3. Turn the vehicle to the ON mode.
-4. Measure the voltage between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle ON mode Ignition coil 3P connector (problem cylinder): disconnected Test point 1 Ignition coil 3P connector No. 1 Test point 2 Body ground Is there battery voltage?
YES
The IG1 (IGN COIL)/IG1 (COIL)/IG COIL RLY OUT wire is OK. Go to step 6.
NO
Repair an open in the IG1 (IGN COIL)/IG1 (COIL)/IG COIL RLY OUT wire between the ignition coil and the ignition coil relay.
- Open wire check (PG (COIL) lines)
-1. Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.
-2. Check for continuity between test points 1 and 2.
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Ignition coil 3P connector (problem cylinder): disconnected Test point 1 Ignition coil 3P connector No. 2 Test point 2 Body ground Is there continuity?
YES
The PG (COIL) wire is OK. Go to step 7.
NO
Repair an open in the PG (COIL) wire between the ignition coil and G101.
- Shorted wire check (IGN lines)
-1. Jump the SCS line with the HDS.
-2. Disconnect the following connector.
PCM connector C (51P) -3. Check for continuity between body ground and the appropriate PCM connector terminal of the problem ignition coil (see table).
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Ignition coil 3P connector (problem cylinder): disconnected PCM connector C (51P): disconnected PROBLEM CYLINDER DTC PCM TERMINAL No. 1 P0351 C47 No. 2 P0352 C46 No. 3 P0353 C45 No. 4 P0354 C44 Is there continuity?
YES
Repair a short in the IGN wire between the PCM and the ignition coil.
NO
The IGN wires are not shorted. Go to step 8.
- Open wire check (IGN lines)
-1. Check for continuity between the appropriate ignition coil 3P connector terminal No. 3 and the appropriate PCM connector terminal of the problem ignition coil (see table).
Test condition Vehicle OFF (LOCK) mode Ignition coil 3P connector (problem cylinder): disconnected PCM connector C (51P): disconnected PROBLEM CYLINDER DTC PCM TERMINAL No. 1 P0351 C47 No. 2 P0352 C46 No. 3 P0353 C45 No. 4 P0354 C44 Is there continuity?
YES
The IGN wires are OK. Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good PCM , then recheck. If DTC P0351, P0352, P0353, and/or P0354 goes away and the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If DTC P0351, P0352, P0353, and/or P0354 goes away and the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM .
NO
Repair an open in the IGN wire between the PCM and the ignition coil.
NO RELATED

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
