If the engine light is flashing, stop driving and get it recovered. A cylinder that is not firing sends unburnt fuel into the catalytic converter, and that is how converters are destroyed — the converter costs several times what this repair does. Expect a rough, shaking engine and clear power loss. Ask for the coil to be swapped with a neighbouring cylinder before parts are bought: if the fault moves with the coil it is the coil, and if it stays it is the wiring or the module's driver, which a new coil would not have fixed.

Wat deze code betekent

The circuit driving coil A's primary winding reads below its valid range, normally a short to ground.

What this family adds over P0351, which covers the same coil. P0351 says something is wrong with coil A's circuit and stops there. This block splits the same coil into three separate codes — primary low, primary high, and secondary — and that split is worth understanding, because the two sides of a coil are different circuits carrying different voltages and implicating completely different parts.

The primary side is the low-voltage side the module controls. Battery voltage in, a few amps, switched on and off by a driver transistor. When the module switches it off, the collapsing magnetic field induces the high voltage on the other side. So a primary fault is an ordinary electrical fault: wiring, a connector, the driver stage, or the primary winding itself.

The secondary side is the high-voltage output that has to jump the spark plug gap — tens of thousands of volts, and a completely different set of causes. That is covered at P2302.

So an engine that reports these three separately is telling you more, for free. Where P0351 leaves you to work out which side failed, P2300 has already ruled out the plug and the high-tension side and pointed at the low-voltage circuit. Check which family your vehicle stores before assuming the diagnosis is the same one.

Low specifically means a short to ground, which the module detects because it is trying to switch a circuit that is already grounded. A primary winding that has broken down internally does this, as does a chafed wire — and the module will shut that output down to protect its own driver, so the coil stops firing entirely.

The swap test that separates a failed coil from a wiring or driver fault is described at P0351 and applies unchanged. Do not skip it on this family either — it costs nothing and it is the only test that distinguishes the coil from what feeds it.

Why this block is marked not to be driven: a cylinder that is not firing pumps raw fuel into a hot catalytic converter, which is what destroys converters. That is the reason a flashing engine light means stop rather than slow down.

CarGeek is een naslagwerk, geen werkplaatshandboek. De pagina's zijn geschreven op basis van openbare bronnen en van wat anderen hebben ondervonden, nooit op basis van de servicedocumentatie van de fabrikant zelf, dus ze kunnen onjuist of onvolledig zijn voor jouw specifieke voertuig. Een deel van wat erin staat brengt echt gevaar met zich mee: hoogspanning, brandstof onder druk, opgeslagen energie en hete of bewegende delen.

Laat alles waarnaar je wilt handelen eerst controleren door iemand met een technische opleiding, aan de hand van de eigen procedure van de fabrikant voor jouw voertuig. Niets hier vervangt die procedure.

Hierover is nog niets geplaatst. Wat je ook hebt gevonden, het is het opschrijven waard — zelfs een doodlopend spoor bespaart iemand dezelfde middag.

Wat het de moeite waard maakt:

  • De auto — merk, model, bouwjaar en motor. Dezelfde storing gedraagt zich per auto anders.
  • Wat je gemeten hebt, niet alleen wat je vervangen hebt.
  • Wat het echt verholpen heeft — of dat niets dat deed, wat ook nuttig is om te weten.
