P2306 OBD-II: Ignition Coil "C" Primary Control Circuit Low
P2306 Severity
Should you fix P2306 yourself?
Identifying an OBD code is just the start of a complete diagnostic routine. Most trouble codes are caused by a sensor reporting a value that is out of range. Just replacing a sensor may not fix underlying issues. Be sure to understand the code, the part or system in your car that the code refers to, and the risks of delaying professional repair.
Proper diagnosis will save you time and money on unnecessary repairs.
Urgent codes indicate immediate action is necessary. These are urgent and significant malfunctions that can cause severe damage to the vehicle or harm the driver and passengers.
What causes OBD-II fault code P2306?
The ignition coil or coils are responsible for igniting the air/fuel mixture inside the combustion chambers. Without reliable performance from the ignition coil(s) the vehicle will stumble and misfire. The engine control module (PCM) has special transistors called "drivers" to turn the Ignition Coil(s) on an off. If the PCM cannot control the Ignition Coil, it will set code P2306.
