Critical1 Honda model affected$250-$1,600 typical repairSystem: Ignition

P0355 on Honda vehicles indicates ignition coil e primary/secondary circuit malfunction. Au7o has documented this code across 1 Honda model — most commonly on Accord. The ECM/PCM detected a primary or secondary circuit fault on ignition coil 'E' (5+ cylinder engines). A missing or invalid coil pulse indicates the coil, its wiring/connector, or its PCM driver is faulty. Typical repair costs on Honda range from $250 to $1,600, depending on the specific model and root cause.

Common Causes of P0355

  • •Faulty ignition coil 'E'
  • •Open/short in primary or secondary wiring
  • •Corroded or loose coil connector
  • •Bad spark plug overloading the coil
  • •Failed coil driver in the PCM

  • Starter Motor Failure - Direct Injection Carbon on Starter Ring Gear2013-2017

    9th generation Accord (2013-2017) experiences premature starter motor failures, particularly on the 2.4L K24W engine. The K24W direct-injection engine accumulates carbon on the ring gear teeth that the starter engages, causing grinding during start. Additionally, the starter solenoid fails prematurely at 60,000-120,000 miles. Initial symptoms are grinding on cold morning starts that progresses to intermittent no-start, then complete starter failure. Honda TSB 14-052 addresses starter engagement issues on these models. The 2.4L starter is also vulnerable to oil contamination from the rear main seal area.
