Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0351 Ignition 1 Control Circuit
060R200055
Circuit Description
ION Sensing Module has the function to energize and
de-energize the primary ignition coil in response to
signals from the PCM. The PCM controls ignition timing
and dwell time.
This diagnosis detects open circuit or short-circuiting in
the Ignition Electronic Spark Timing (EST) line by
monitoring EST signals. A failure determination is made
when the signal voltage remains higher or lower than the
threshold for corresponding fault code beyond a
predetermined time period.
When the PCM detects a problem on EST control circuit
1, it will set a DTC P0351.
Conditions for Setting the DTC

The ignition is ªONº.

The engine is running, determined by the 58X
crankshaft position input signal.

The output voltage is not equal to 5 volts when output
is ªONº.
The output voltage is not equal to 0 volts when output
is ªOFFº.

Ten test failures occur within 10 samples of continuous
spark events.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets

The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.

The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle in which the diagnostic has been
run and the fault condition is no longer present.

A history DTC P0351 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm-up cycles occur without a fault.

DTC P0351 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.

Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:

Poor connection at PCM ± Inspect the harness
connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating,
broken locks, improperly formed or damaged
terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connections.

Damaged harness ± Inspect the wiring harness for
damage. If the harness appears to be OK, observe theTech 2 display related to DTC P0351 while moving the
connector and wiring related to the ignition system. A
change in the display will indicate the location of the
fault.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since the
diagnostic test last failed may help determine how often
the condition that caused the DTC to be set occurs. This
may assist in diagnosing the condition.
