1. Install any components or connectors that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.

2. Perform any adjustment, programming, or setup procedures that are required when a component or module is removed or replaced.

3. Clear the DTCs.

4. Turn the ignition OFF for 60 s.

5. If the repair is related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in

order to verify the DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets or another DTC is present, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle

(See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) and perform the appropriate diagnostic

procedure.

6. To verify that the performance of the catalytic converter has not been affected by the condition that set this DTC, perform the Repair

Verification for DTC P0420 or P0430.

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The ignition system on this engine uses an individual coil/module for each cylinder. The engine control module (ECM) controls the spark event for

each cylinder through the eight individual ignition control circuits. When the ECM commands the ignition control circuit ON, electrical current will

flow through the primary winding of the ignition coil, creating a magnetic field. When a spark event is requested, the ECM will command the

ignition control circuit OFF, interrupting current flow through the primary winding. The magnetic field created by the primary winding will

collapse across the secondary coil windings, producing a high voltage across the spark plug electrodes. The ECM uses information from the
