2000 CHRYSLER VOYAGER ignition

Symptom:
P-0353 IGNITION COIL #3 PRIMARY CIRCUIT
When Monitored and Set Condition:
P-0353 IGNITION COIL #3 PRIMARY CIRCUIT
When Monitored: With battery voltage greater than 8 volts during engine cranking or
greater than 12 volts with engine running, and none of the coils in dwell when checked.
Set Condition: Peak current is not achieved with 2.5ms of dwell. It takes 3 seconds during
cranking or up to 6 seconds while running to set.
