P0350
Powertrain Codes
P0350 - MAZDA - Ignition Coil Primary Circuit Fault
Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Lack/Loss of Power
- Engine may be harder to start
- Engine hesitation
- Rough engine idle
Possible Causes
- Ignition Coil Primary/Secondary harness is open or shorted
- Ignition Coil Primary/Secondary circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Ignition Coil Primary/Secondary
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)
When Detected
The test fails when the Engine Control Module (ECM) does not receive a valid pulse signal from the ignition coil.
Description
The ignition signal from the Engine Control Module (ECM) is sent to and amplified by the power transistor. The power transistor turns ON and OFF the ignition coil primary circuit. This ON/OFF operation induces the proper high voltage in the coil secondary circuit.
