Laymans terms

Your car's engine has a part called an ignition coil that helps start the engine. This code means there's a problem with the ignition coil on cylinder L, which might make the car run poorly or not start at all.

Explanation

The ignition coil transforms the battery's voltage to a higher voltage needed to ignite the fuel. A fault in the secondary circuit of coil L indicates a problem in delivering this voltage to the spark plug.

Technical description

P2335 indicates an issue with the secondary circuit of the ignition coil for cylinder L. The secondary circuit is responsible for delivering the high voltage from the ignition coil to the spark plug. A malfunction can cause misfires or prevent the engine from starting.

Symptoms

• Engine misfire

• Poor fuel economy

• Check Engine Light on

Common Causes

• Faulty ignition coil

• Damaged ignition coil wiring

• Bad spark plug

Glossary

Ignition Coil: A component that transforms the battery's voltage to a higher voltage needed to ignite the fuel.

Secondary Circuit: The part of the ignition system that delivers high voltage from the coil to the spark plug.

Diagnosis steps

• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.

• Inspect the ignition coil and its wiring for damage.

• Test the ignition coil with a multimeter.

Repair procedures

• Replace the faulty ignition coil.

• Repair or replace damaged wiring.

• Replace the spark plug if necessary.

Tools required

• OBD-II scanner

• Multimeter

• Socket set

Estimated repair cost

$100 - $300

Historical data

This code has been more common in vehicles with high mileage or those that have not had regular maintenance on ignition components.

Urgency level

Moderate – Addressing this issue promptly can prevent further engine damage.

Testing conditions

• Engine at operating temperature

• Vehicle in park or neutral

Component location

The ignition coil is located on top of the engine, near the spark plugs.
