Ignition Coil L Primary Control Circuit Low
The primary control circuit of ignition coil L reads a voltage below the expected level — usually a short to ground on the primary driver wire or a low-resistance fault in the coil primary winding. Coil L cannot build a normal charge, so the cylinder it fires misfires, especially under load. Causes: short to ground in the primary wiring, an internal coil primary fault, or a faulty ECU/igniter driver.
Possible causes
- Primary winding shorted to ground or harness chafed high
- Coil L internal driver fault medium
- Connector pins corroded - high contact resistance low
