Inspection steps
CAUTION:
Before performing troubleshooting, check the fuse for this circuit.
NOTE:
- If DTC P0351 is displayed, check the ignition coil assembly No. 1 circuit.
- If DTC P0352 is displayed, check the ignition coil assembly No. 2 circuit.
- If DTC P0353 is displayed, check the ignition coil assembly No. 3 circuit.
- If DTC P0354 is displayed, check the ignition coil assembly No. 4 circuit.
- Read the freeze frame data using the SSM3. A part of the engine running conditions under which the engine trouble occurred is recorded in the freeze frame data, which is useful for troubleshooting.
- Clear DTC
- Connect the SSM3 to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON.
- Turn on the SSM3.
- Follow the SSM3 on-screen instructions to clear the DTCs. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DTC )
- Turn the ignition switch to OFF, and wait for 30 seconds.
Next
- Perform test drive for operation check
- Change the position of the ignition coil assembly and test drive the vehicle. (refer to "TEST DRIVE " under "Description of functions")CAUTION: Do not change the position of the ignition coil connectors.
- With IG ON, follow the SSM3 on-screen instructions to check the DTC. (Refer to CHECKING/CLEARING DTC
)
Result
Result Go to DTC does not change. A DTCs with different igniter system are output. B B: Replacement of ignition coil assembly (Refer to REMOVAL )
A: Go to next step
- Change the position of the ignition coil assembly and test drive the vehicle. (refer to "TEST DRIVE " under "Description of functions")
- Check wiring harness and connector (ignition coil assembly power supply circuit)NOTE: For the inspection procedure and precautions for wiring harnesses and connectors, refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURES FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND HOW TO PERFORM .
- Disconnect the connector of the ignition coil assembly.
- Measure the voltage between the terminals.

OK: Go to next step
- Check wiring harness and connector (ignition coil assembly - chassis ground)NOTE: For the inspection procedure and precautions for wiring harnesses and connectors, refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURES FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND HOW TO PERFORM .
- Disconnect the connector of the ignition coil assembly.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals.

OK: Go to next step
- Check wiring harness and connector (engine control computer - ignition coil assembly)NOTE: For the inspection procedure and precautions for wiring harnesses and connectors, refer to INSPECTION PROCEDURES FOR ELECTRICAL CIRCUITS AND HOW TO PERFORM .
- Disconnect the connector for the engine control computer.
- Disconnect the connector of the ignition coil assembly.
- Measure the resistance between the terminals. (Refer to
