Ignition Coil "A" Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction (Cylinder 1)
An electrical fault is detected in both the primary and the secondary circuit of ignition coil A (cylinder 1). The ECU cannot drive the coil correctly, so the cylinder served by coil A misfires or does not fire at all. Causes: an open or shorted primary control wire, an internal coil winding fault, a failed igniter/driver, or wiring or connector damage at the coil.
