2, 3, 5, and 8 Because the circuits are in pairs or groups, multiple diagnostic codes can be activated for a single problem. If multiple diagnostic codes are active for the primary ignition, troubleshooting the circuits one at a time is an effective way to find the root cause.The most likely causes of the diagnostic code are a poor electrical connection or a problem in a wiring harness. The next likely cause is a problem with an ignition transformer. The least likely cause is a problem with the ECM.
