DTC P0351: Ignition Control Circuit: Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2003 GMC Sonoma, 2003 GMC Safari, 2003 GMC Jimmy, 2003 Chevrolet S10 Pickup, and 2003 Chevrolet Blazer. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The enhanced ignition system uses the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor in order to provide a timing input to the control module. Ignition Control (IC) spark timing for each cylinder is based on this input. The control module provides the ignition timing signal to the Ignition Control Module (ICM) to control the ignition coil. Each timing pulse detected by the ICM allows the ICM to energize the ignition coil. A large secondary ignition voltage is induced in the secondary coil by the primary coil. This high voltage is switched to the correct spark plug by the distributor. This DTC will set if the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects an unusually high or low voltage on the ignition timing signal circuit.
