P0352

Ignition Coil B Circuit Malfunction

The engine computer detected a problem with the ignition coil circuit for coil B. This can cause misfires, rough running, poor fuel economy, and hard starting.

Severity4/5 High
Can I drive?⚠ With caution

You may be able to drive short distances, but the engine can run rough and may lose power. Continued driving can damage the catalytic converter and worsen the misfire.

What It Means

P0352 means the powertrain control module detected an electrical fault in the ignition coil B primary or secondary circuit. This can be caused by a failed coil, wiring problem, connector issue, or a driver fault inside the engine control system. The code is often set when the PCM sees an open circuit, short circuit, or abnormal coil control signal.

FAQ

What does ignition coil B mean?

It usually refers to one specific ignition coil identified by the engine manufacturer. The exact cylinder depends on the vehicle's coil numbering system.

Can a bad spark plug cause P0352?

Yes. A worn or damaged spark plug can overload the coil or contribute to misfire, which may help trigger this code.

Will replacing the coil fix P0352?

Sometimes, but not always. Wiring, connector problems, and PCM driver faults can also cause the code.

Is P0352 the same as a misfire code?

No. P0352 is an ignition coil circuit fault code, but it can cause a misfire and often appears with misfire codes.
