Diagnostic Steps

1

Step 1: Inspect ignition coil D connector and PCM connector for corrosion, damage, or loose fit

2

Step 2: Test continuity of control wire from PCM to ignition coil D connector

3

Step 3: Check primary winding resistance in ignition coil D and compare to specifications

4

Step 4: Verify power supply and ground circuits to coil D are functioning properly

5

Step 5: If all circuits and coil test within specs, suspect PCM driver circuit failure
