Code meaning and manufacturer information

Original wording in English · Historical directory labels; manufacturer applicability has not been established for every entry.

Ignition Coil A Primary/Secondary Circuit Malfunction

Stop in a safe place and seek assistance when control or engine safety is affected. Follow the vehicle handbook.
