Ignition Coil -J- Secondary Circuit
The current flow, or dwell, through the primary ignition coil is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) by providing a switched ground path through the ignition coil driver to ground. When the ignition coil driver is switched on, current rapidly builds up to a maximum value, determined by the coil inductance and resistance. When the current is switched off, the magnetic field collapses which induces a secondary high voltage surge and the spark plug is fired. This high voltage surge creates a flyback voltage which the PCM uses as a feedback during the ignition diagnostics. The PCM continuously monitors the ignition system for concerns. The P2329 code sets when the PCM detects a short to voltage in the circuit.
Cause:
Faulty Ignition Coil "J"
Ignition Coil "J" harness is open or shorted
Ignition Coil "J" circuit poor electrical connection
Symptoms:
Check engine light
Engine may be running rough
