P2323Ignition Coil H Secondary Circuit

  • Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
  • Turns on the check-engine light
  • Matters for the ITP
  • Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
How the car detects it
P2323 concerns the spark side of coil H, the coil on cylinder 8. It is the last code of FCA's ion-sensing series: STAR case S2118000002 (2021) for the 2020–2021 Ram 1500 reads it as coil 8 secondary circuit with insufficient ionization, and an older FCA parts review lists it together with the cylinder misfire codes P0301–P0308. On such systems the coil boot doubles as a measuring path, so a loose connector, a cracked boot or a worn plug can weaken the ion signal just as a failing coil can. FCA asks technicians to reseat and lock the connector first and only then to work through the regular test plan. GM and Ford, which use coil H codes on their V8s, document only the primary side (P2321/P2322); misfire on cylinder 8 is P0308.
What you may notice
  • Check engine light on
  • Cylinder 8 misfire, frequently stored with P0308
  • Rough running when accelerating
Likely causes
  • LikelyCoil 8 connector loose or not latched (FCA)
  • PossibleWorn or fouled spark plug on cylinder 8
  • PossibleCoil H boot cracked or tracking to the head
  • RarePCM ion-sense circuit faulty
Inspection (ITP)
Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
