SOURCE: obdll code reads "P0351",ignition coil A

Regarding Ignition Coil Driver Fault P0351:
An ignition coil driver is the signal that comes OUT of your PCM at pin A7. The "A" plug is the Black plug nearest your engine that goes into the PCM. So, Pin A7 tells your coil what to do. So it can't be the coil... its the command "to" the coil originating inside the PCM.
What goes "in" at pin A8 is the input signal from your crankshaft sensor. And just above it is pin A18 the camshaft sensor input. These inputs are critical so its no surprise that everyone is running around replacing them even though they don't solve the problem.
The main symptom is that the vehicle misses and backfires, some times stalls, and gives you the DTC P0351. Another problem is very low idle; at a stop sign for instance. Trying to make it home by gunning the throttle while riding the brake. The signal that comes out of pin A10, A11, A19, A20? The Idle Air Control signal to the Idle Air Control Valve on the throttle body.
All of these pins reside together in an area about 1/4" square. The circuit board behind these pins is faulty, or the pins are not making good contact.
Find the PCM, follow the wiring harness from the above mentioned sensors to the PCM and push them in to make sure they are not loose.
Good Luck!! Keep me posted!!

SOURCE: Actually I have 3 codes

1. Check up the intake system for air leaks. Just spray carburretor cleaner product around intake manifold area, engine idling. If the engine rpm will raise up, there are air leaks. Replace intake manifold gasket, and test again the engine for air leaks. Check up also the exhaust pipes for air leaks. Inspect the exhaust pipes for gases leaks. Repair & replace bad components if necessary. If everything is all right regarding air leaks, and the fault code 171 still occurs, replace the bank 1 upstream oxygen sensor.
2. If the CKP sensor has been changed with new one, just replace the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor, and test again the engine. If the fault code 320 still occurs, check the harness wire by wire & connection plugs pins, and repair damages. This code must be erased definitely.
3. Replace ignition coil and test again the engine. The fault code 351 must be erased definitely.

Good Luck!

SOURCE: I have a 2003 Jeep Grand Cherokee 6 cyl. I am getting fault codes P0351,P0352 and P0353 which is defined as #1,#2 and#3 ignition coil circuit and code P0505 JEEP Idle Control System Malfunction and c

I would check Cam Position Sensor as is directly related with ignition. Power loss is due to the ECU going on "limp mode" to prevent further damage.
I hope this helps!

Rough idle on 2008 chrysler towne and country

The following are the general instructions on the start of diagnosing any electronically controlled engine or transmission problem.

The engine and the automatic transmission (transmission control is only for automatics, engine is still computer controlled no matter the transmission type) in this vehicle are computer controlled and in most cases when a fault occurs a fault code is stored in the memory of the computer control module. There are exception to this, such as the Mass Airflow Meter and fuel pressure problems. What must be done is to have all the basic testing done such as a scan of the system for fault codes as well as a check with a live data scanner tool for engine functions that are not within range of normal, a trained technician is required to know what is correct and what isn't, then based on careful diagnostics done from a factory repair manual the correct part is replaced or the wiring repaired or the computer replaced (known as the PCM or ECM,ECU), which is very rarely the problem. Other basic checks must be done as well such as mechanical problems with the engine as well as engine state of tune and mileage on the engine. The transmission can have mechanical issues as well such as no gear engagement at all or a failed pump or other pressure related problems. Also engine mechanical problems can and do cause many drive-ability related problem such as rough idle and other symptoms.

Error code 0700 aa1 aa2

Hi there:
The DTC P0700 is a Information Code The Transaxle Control Module (TCM) that monitors the malfunction of sensors and actuators relating to transaxle control. If any malfunction is detected, the TCM informs the PCM by sending a signal (P0700 code). P0700 means that a code has been set in the TCM.
This code is for information ONLY. If this code is present, check for transaxle codes. So basically, the P0700 code is telling you to check the TCM for a transaxle DTC. The TCM can not turn on the check engine light so it has the PCM do it, which can only be done with a diagnostic scanner. The self retreival method for chryslers with the ignition key will not pull up the specific transmission fault codes in the TCM.


Hope this helps.

P0505: Idle Air Control System

There is a small motor that controls the amount of air the engine gets when you aren't using the throttle. The computer uses this small motor to control your idle. It sounds like it needs to be replaced. You can try cleaning it first with some throttle body & air intake cleaner.
