The ECM detects the ignition control circuit is shorted to voltage for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300, P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, and P2316

are Type B DTCs.

Conditions for Clearing the DTC

DTCs P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300, P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, and P2316

are Type B DTCs.

Diagnostic Aids

* Inspect the ignition coils for aftermarket devices. An aftermarket device connected to the ignition coil circuits, may cause this DTC to set.

* If the condition is intermittent, moving the related harnesses and connectors, with the engine operating, while monitoring the appropriate scan

tool Misfire Current Cylinder, or the IC Circuit Test Status parameter may help to isolate the condition. An IC Circuit Test Status parameter

will change from OK or Not Run to Fault if a condition is present.

Circuit/System Verification

1. Operate the engine for 30 seconds. Observe the DTC information with a scan tool. DTC P0351, P0352, P0353, P0354, P0355, P0356, P2300,

P2301, P2303, P2304, P2306, P2307, P2309, P2310, P2312, P2313, P2315, or P2316 should not set.

2. Engine operating, observe the scan tool IC Circuit Test Status parameters, the IC Circuit Test Status parameters should display OK or Not

Run.

3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the

conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.

Circuit/System Testing

1. Ignition OFF, disconnect the harness connector at the appropriate T8 ignition coil.

Note: The ignition circuit supplies voltage to other components. Make sure you test all circuits for a short to ground or test all components

for being shorted that share the ignition circuit.

2. Ignition ON, verify that a test lamp illuminates between the ignition voltage circuit terminal D and ground.

瀚慖f the test lamp does not illuminate, test the circuit for a short to ground or an open/high resistance. If the circuit tests normal and the

ignition circuit fuse is open, test all the components connected to the ignition voltage circuit and replace as necessary.

3. Crank or start the engine. Test for 200-400 mV between the appropriate IC circuit terminal C and ground.
