You would want to set it for A/C hertz and check to see if it is between 5-20hz. You can use a digital voltmeter to check if the coil pack is getting the proper signal. The first place that you would want to start looking for what could be causing P0354 in your Escape would be the wiring harness. If you do that, you’ve eliminated half of the variables. The first goal of diagnosing P0354 is determining if you are dealing with a primary or secondary wiring problem in your Escape. Wiring Issues (short, open, or bad ground).These are the most common problems that cause P0354: You very well may smell raw fuel as your Escape’s engine runs as well. Rough Idle– You vehicle may idle rough if the fourth cylinder isn’t getting enough spark.It can also really mess up the catalytic converter. Misfiring can lead to a lack of power, and/or engine hesitation. Resolving P0354 will typically clear P0304 as well. P0304 indicates a misfire in the fourth cylinder. Misfiring– P0354 might be accompanied by P0304.Check Engine Light– The check engine light may be all that you notice when you have this code, particularly if it is caused by an intermittent wiring issue with your Escape.We go into this in greater detail below ( go straight there).

If the code “moves” from the fourth cylinder, you now know that it’s a secondary issue. Move the ignition components (coil pack, plug wire, plug) from cylinder D/4 to another and clear the codes. There is a really easy test to determine if it is the primary or secondary wiring that has thrown this code in your Escape.

Here’s a pretty good explanation of how how to locate the fourth cylinder. Different manufacturers use different methods. You’ll need to look up which cylinder is number four on your engine. Ignition Coil “D” indicates the problem is in the fourth cylinder. Which means that plugs, plug wires (if so equipped) or the spark plug itself is causing your Escape to throw P0354. The secondary side of the equation is the spark side. A short, open, or poorly ground wiring harness is almost always what causes P0354 when it is the primary wiring side that has thrown the code. The primary wiring is the wiring harness leading from your Escape’s ECM/PCM to the ignition system itself. Luckily, it’s easy to determine which one is at fault. It’s important to determine if it is the primary or secondary circuit that has thrown the code. P0354 Ignition Coil “D” Primary/Secondary Circuit → Malfunction Primary or Secondary Wiring?

P0354 is a relatively straightforward diagnosis and is typically caused by a bad coil pack or wiring harness issue, although there can be caused by other factors. If your Ford Escape has thrown this code, it may be accompanied by P0304. P0354 is a generic OBD2 code that indicates that ignition coil “D” has an issue with the primary or secondary wiring circuits.
