P0352 on Ford: Causes, Symptoms and Fix Cost
Quick Answer
Moderate SeverityNot safe to driveFord
P0352 on a Ford means the ECU saw an abnormal voltage pattern on the primary control circuit of ignition coil #2. In plain terms: cylinder 2 isn't getting a reliable spark command, so it misfires.
Typical repair cost, all makes€60 - €850

Ford F-150
2004-2014The 5.4L 3V Triton's coil-on-plug units commonly fail at high mileage, and Ford changed the coil version during production, so match the replacement to the one fitted. Cylinder 2 is the second from the front on the passenger-side bank.
What causes P0352 on a Ford?
Beyond the generic causes listed on the main P0352 page, these are the patterns noted for Ford models:
Ford F-150Coil boot cracking and arcing to the cam cover bolt
Ford F-150Two-piece spark plug seizing in the head, previous plug change left the boot damaged
How to diagnose P0352 on a Ford with OBD2
Follow these steps to pinpoint the root cause of P0352:
- Scan for all stored codes and freeze frame data. If P0302 is also present, you've confirmed cylinder 2 is the misfiring one
- Pull coil #2 and inspect the boot for cracks, carbon tracking, and oil. Check the connector pins for green corrosion or a backed-out terminal
- Swap coil #2 with coil #1 or #3, clear codes, drive and rescan. If the P0352 becomes P0351 or P0353, the coil is bad
- If the code stays on cylinder 2, pull spark plug #2. Look for wide gap, oil fouling, cracked insulator, or wrong heat range
- Measure primary resistance across the coil terminals (typical 0.4 to 2.0 ohms) and secondary if accessible (5k to 15k ohms). Compare to service manual spec, not gut feel
- Key on, engine off: back-probe the coil connector for switched 12V on the supply pin. Cranking: verify the PCM is pulsing the trigger wire (test light flicker or scope)
- If supply, ground, trigger, coil, and plug all check out, scope the primary waveform. A missing or flat trigger points to the PCM ignition driver
- After repair, clear codes and run a drive cycle covering idle, part-throttle, and full-throttle to confirm the misfire counter stays at zero
