	YES

Replace the faulty ignition coil.?


	NO

Go to step 3.

Shorted wire check (IG COIL RLY OUT/IG1(COIL)/IG1(IGN COIL) line):

Shorted wire check (IG COIL RLY OUT/IG1(COIL)/IG1(IGN COIL) line)

?1.	Turn the vehicle to the OFF (LOCK) mode.

?2.

Check the following fuse.

Fuse	No. A17 (15 A)
Location	Under-hood fuse/relay box

Is the fuse OK?


	YES

Go to step 4.


	NO

Repair a short in the IG COIL RLY OUT/IG1(COIL)/IG1(IGN COIL) wire between the ignition coil and the No. A17 (15 A) fuse. Also replace the No. A17 (15 A) fuse.?

Relay check:

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 (IG COIL RLY OUT/IG1(COIL)/IG1(IGN COIL) line):

Open wire check (IG COIL RLY OUT/IG1(COIL)/IG1(IGN COIL) 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 IG COIL RLY OUT/IG1(COIL)/IG1(IGN COIL) wire is OK. Go to step 6.


	NO

Repair an open in the IG COIL RLY OUT/IG1(COIL)/IG1(IGN COIL) wire between the ignition coil and the ignition coil relay.?

Open wire check (PG(COIL) line):

Open wire check (PG(COIL) line)

?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) wires are 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):

Shorted wire check (IGN lines)

?1.	Jump the SCS line with the HDS, and wait more than 1 minute.

?2.

Disconnect the following connector.

PCM connector B (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 B (51P): disconnected

Problem cylinder	DTC	Connector	Terminal
No. 1	P0351	PCM connector B (51P)	No. 24
No. 2	P0352		No. 25
No. 3	P0353		No. 26
No. 4	P0354		No. 27

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):

Open wire check (IGN lines)

?1.

Check for continuity between 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 B (51P): disconnected

Problem cylinder	DTC	Connector	Terminal
No. 1	P0351	PCM connector B (51P)	No. 24
No. 2	P0352		No. 25
No. 3	P0353		No. 26
No. 4	P0354		No. 27

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.?
