What does this fault code mean?
The control module counts the ignitions in all cylinders during a set time period. If too many ignitions are missing, the code is stored. It is an information code that never occurs alone; it appears together with another fault code for the ignition coils, and fault-tracing is therefore carried out from that other code.
Possible causes
- Loose connection in the connector
- Defective ignition coil
- Contact resistance and oxidation in the ignition coil connector
- Damaged ignition coil
What you can do
- 1First investigate the other fault code for the ignition coils, since this code appears together with it
- 2Check the ignition coil connectors for play and oxidation
- 3Check that the ignition coils are firmly fitted and undamaged
- 4Read and clear the fault codes, run the engine and see which ones return
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop with diagnostic equipment check the ignition coils
Symptoms you may notice3
- The engine judders occasionally
- The engine cuts out
- The engine does not start
What the fault can affect1
- Fuel trim is disabled
General guidance for car owners. Diagnosis on the car can point to a different cause.
