P2303 Fault Code

Ignition Coil B Primary Control Circuit Low

• What does that mean?
• Symptoms
• Causes
• Solutions

The P2303 fault code indicates that there is a problem with the ignition coil 'B' primary control circuit being detected as low. This generally means that the electrical signal that controls ignition coil 'B' is weaker than expected or not functioning properly. This could lead to ignition issues and affect engine performance.

What are the symptoms of the P2303 code?

Common symptoms of a P2303 fault code may include:

• Engine misfires
• Reduced power or acceleration
• Poor fuel economy
• Engine stalling or difficulty starting
• Check engine light (CEL) illuminated on the dashboard

What causes the P2303 code?

The low signal can be caused by a variety of issues, including:

• Faulty ignition coil 'B'
• Damaged wiring or connectors in the ignition circuit
• A malfunctioning engine control unit (ECU)
• Poor ground connection for the ignition coil
• High resistance in the circuit due to corrosion or wear

How to fix P2303?

To address a P2303 error code, consider the following steps:

1. Inspect the ignition coil 'B' for any visible damage or defects and replace if necessary.
2. Check wiring and connectors for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage; repair or replace as needed.
3. Test the ground connection for the ignition coil to ensure a proper electrical connection.
4. Use a multimeter to test the resistance of the ignition coil and the primary circuit; replace components that do not meet manufacturer specifications.
5. If the issue persists after checking these components, consider scanning the ECU for further diagnostic codes to guide further troubleshooting.
