Causes
- Faulty ignition coil or ignition control module for cylinder 7
- Open, short, or high-resistance wiring or poor connector connection between ECM and the coil/ignition module
- Power or ground supply missing or intermittent to the coil/ignition module
- Faulty ECM or driver transistor for cylinder 7 output
- Related sensor/sync problem (crank or cam sensor) preventing proper timing or command
- Mechanical engine condition preventing toggling (severe hydrolock, seized component)
Symptoms
- Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) illuminated
- Rough idle, hesitation, or lack of power under load
- Intermittent or consistent misfire on cylinder 7 (possible misfire DTC such as P0307)
- Reduced fuel economy and increased exhaust emissions
- Possible no-start condition if ignition is not occurring on that cylinder
What to check
- Read and record trouble codes and freeze-frame data; confirm P1367 is current and note engine conditions when stored
- Check for related codes (misfire codes, coil/ignition circuit codes, cam/crank sensor codes)
- Visually inspect coil-on-plug and connector for corrosion, oil, or damage
- Perform a simple swap: move coil (or coil pack/module) from cylinder 7 to a known-good cylinder and see if the code or misfire follows the coil (if applicable)
- Backprobe coil primary control connector while cranking/starting or using bidirectional test to command coil — observe for toggling signal
- Check for proper power (battery voltage) and ground at the coil connector
Signal parameters
- Expected: primary control circuit toggles between near-battery voltage and driven ground/pulsed signal when enabled
- Typical primary voltage behavior: idle/crank pulses with frequency proportional to engine speed; vehicle-specific dwell/pulse width
- Expected continuity: low-ohm primary circuit between coil terminals (manufacturer spec required) and intact signal wire continuity between coil connector and ECM
- No sustained open circuit or constant high/low voltage on control pin when commanded (should change state)
Diagnostic algorithm
- Verify the code: read codes, record freeze frame, clear codes and attempt to reproduce. If code does not return, monitor for intermittent faults.
- Inspect coil and connector: remove coil-on-plug, check for carbon tracking, oil, cracked housing, bent pins, or corrosion. Repair or replace as needed.
- Swap test: swap coil from cylinder 7 with another cylinder. If the fault/misfire follows the coil, replace the coil. If it remains on cylinder 7, continue wiring/ECM checks.
- Check power and ground: with ignition on, verify battery voltage at the coil power pin and good ground at the ground pin.
- Backprobe/control test: using a scan tool with output control or while cranking, command the coil and observe the control pin. The driver should toggle; if not, test wiring continuity to the ECM and check for short to battery or ground.
- Measure coil resistances: primary and secondary per manufacturer specs. Replace coil if out of spec.
- Use an oscilloscope on the primary to confirm expected waveform and timing relative to engine RPM. Look for missing pulses or flat lines when commanded.
- Inspect and test related sensors: camshaft and crankshaft position sensors and their circuits if timing/sync could inhibit commands.
- If wiring and coil check OK and ECM command still not present, test ECM output driver and grounds per factory procedures; consider ECM replacement only after confirming driver-level fault.
- After repairs, clear codes and road-test to verify the fault does not return.
Likely causes
- Failed ignition coil or integrated coil-on-plug for cylinder 7
- Corroded/loose connector or damaged harness to coil/ignition module
- Open/short in primary control wire between ECM and coil driver
- Blown fuse or poor battery/ground affecting coil power
- ECM output driver failure (less common)
Fault status
Status
IC Cylinder 7 did not toggle after enable — possible coil, wiring/connector, power/ground, or ECM driver fault. MIL illuminated.
Repair difficulty: Medium
Diagnostic time: 1.0 - 2.5 hours
