P2302-IGNITION COIL 1 SECONDARY CIRCUIT- INSUFFICIENT IONIZATION





For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.



Possible Causes
(F342) ASD OUTPUT CIRCUIT
(K19) COIL CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT OPEN
(K19) COIL CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND
COIL
PCM


Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).



Diagnostic Test

1. ACTIVE DTC

Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

Is the DTC Active at this time?

Yes


No

2. (F342) ASD OUTPUT CIRCUIT



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the Ignition Coil harness connector.
Ignition on, engine not running.
With a scan tool, actuate the ASD.
Using a 12-volt test light connected to ground, probe the (F342) ASD Output circuit in the Ignition Coil harness connector.

Does the test light illuminate brightly?

Yes


No

3. IGNITION COIL


WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.


Using a 12-volt test light connected to a 12-volt source, probe the (K19) Coil Control 1 circuit in the Coil harness connector.
Crank the engine for 5 seconds while observing the test light.

What is the condition of the test light while cranking the engine?

Brightly blinking.


ON constantly.


OFF constantly.

4. (K19) COIL CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT SHORTED TO GROUND



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.
Measure the resistance between ground and the (K19) Coil Control 1 circuit in the Coil harness connector.

Is the resistance below 100 ohms?

Yes


No

5. (K19) COIL CONTROL 1 CIRCUIT OPEN



Turn the ignition off.
Disconnect the C2 PCM harness connector.

CAUTION: Do not probe the PCM harness connectors. Probing the PCM harness connectors will damage the PCM terminals resulting in poor terminal to pin connection. Install Miller Special Tool #8815 to perform diagnosis.


Measure the resistance of the (K19) Coil Control 1 circuit from the Coil harness connector to the appropriate terminal of special tool #8815.

Is the resistance below 5.0 ohms?

Yes


No

6. PCM

NOTE: Before continuing, check the PCM harness connector terminals for corrosion, damage, or terminal push out. Repair as necessary.


Using the schematics as a guide, inspect the wire harness and connectors. Pay particular attention to all Power and Ground circuits.

Were there any problems found?

Yes


No
