What does this fault code mean?
The code applies to ignition coil E, which is the coil for cylinder 5. It shows which coil is affected but not which type of fault it is. The engine control module (ECM) checks the coils' function through a separate diagnostic line.
Possible causes
- Contact resistance and oxidation at the coil connector
- Signal wire short circuit to ground or supply voltage
- Open circuit in the signal wire
- Open circuit in the supply wire
- Diagnostic line short circuit to ground or supply voltage
- Damaged ignition coil
What you can do
- 1If you have a diagnostic tool, start the engine and read the fault status. 'No fault found' means the fault is not active right now.
- 2Check that the fuses are intact.
- 3With the ignition off, check the connector to the ignition coil for cylinder 5 for contact resistance and oxidation.
- 4Use a multimeter to check that the wires to the ignition coil for cylinder 5 have no open circuit and are not shorted to ground or supply voltage.
- 5Check that the ignition coil is secure and not damaged.
- 6If the fault returns, have a workshop check the ignition coil for cylinder 5 and its diagnostic line.
Symptoms you may notice5
- Engine misfires
- Check engine light (emissions warning lamp) is on
- Engine is not firing on all cylinders
- Car lacks power, especially when pulling away from standstill
- Car hesitates or jerks when slowing down
What the fault can affect1
- Closed loop control of lambda is blocked
