p1361 B and p1362 B codes came up on the way home tonight?

was on my way across town today and the first stop sign i came to my car died and when i fired it up my service engine soon light was on. so i drove it home and checked the codes then came up as p1361 b "IC circuit not toggling" and also p1362 b "IC cly2 no toggling after..." but thats all the scanner will display is up to after. i tried to search the forum to see if its a common problem but didnt find very much reading material about them and was hopeing someone on here would be able to give some words of wisdom, any help would be appriciated... thanks
 


[h=1]DTC P1361[/h][h=5]Circuit Description[/h]The ignition control module (ICM) has independent power and ground circuits. The circuits between the ICM and the powertrain control module (PCM) consists of the following circuits:

  • The ignition control (IC) timing signal
  • The IC timing control
  • The low resolution engine speed signal
  • The medium resolution engine signal
  • The camshaft position signal
  • The low reference
The ICM sends 3X signals to the PCM, and controls the timing advance during engine cranking. The timing advance changes to PCM control after the following actions occur:

  • The PCM receives the second 3X signal
  • The PCM applies 5 volts to the ignition control (IC) timing signal circuit.
The ICM monitors the CKP sync signal when the engine is cranking. The CKP sync signal is passed from the CKP sensor to the ICM on the CKP sensor 2 signal circuit. The CKP sync signal is used to determine the correct cylinder pair and initiate the ignition coil firing sequence. The 18X reference pulses are passed from the CKP sensor to the ICM on the CKP sensor 1 circuit. The 18X reference pulses are used for fuel injection and ignition control. After the ICM receives both signals, the ICM passes the 18X and 3X reference signals to the PCM. The CMP and the CKP sensors share a 12 volt reference and low reference circuit. The CKP sensor consists of the following circuits:

  • A 12 volt reference
  • A low reference
  • A CKP sensor 1 signal
  • A CKP sensor 2 signal
[h=5]Conditions for Running the DTC[/h]The engine is running.
[h=5]Conditions for Setting the DTC[/h]The PCM does not monitor IC pulses while the IC mode spark advance is commanded.
[h=5]Action Taken When the DTC Sets[/h]
  • The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.
  • The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.
[h=5]Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC[/h]
  • The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
  • A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
  • A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
  • Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
