Ignition Coil C Circuit Malfunction
The engine computer found a problem with ignition coil C or its wiring. This can cause a misfire, rough running, and poor engine performance.
You may be able to drive short distances, but the engine can run poorly and may misfire. Continued driving can damage the catalytic converter if the misfire is severe.
P0353 means the powertrain control module detected an electrical fault in the ignition coil C circuit. This may be an open circuit, short circuit, high resistance, damaged coil, or a driver circuit problem inside the PCM. The fault can affect spark delivery to one cylinder and trigger a misfire code along with P0353.
It usually refers to a specific ignition coil circuit assigned by the manufacturer. On some engines it may be the coil for one particular cylinder.
Yes, a badly worn or fouled spark plug can contribute to misfire and sometimes lead to coil circuit problems, but the code usually points first to the coil or wiring.
No. The code will return if the underlying electrical or ignition problem is still present.
Only for short, cautious trips if the engine runs normally. If it is misfiring or shaking, stop driving and fix the problem soon.
