Help me with some information on a SES code My SES light has been coming on about once a month for a while but I've ignored it for the most part just resetting the PCM each time. Well it came on yesterday so I went by AutoZone today and got the code: P0353 - Ignition Coil 3 Control Circuit. Autozone's printout said:
The PCM has determined that a malfunction exists in the primary or secondary electrical circuits for ignition coil "C"
So what does this mean? Car still seems to run just fine, does this affect performance? Which coil is #3/"C"? Could any of my mods have caused this? The light went out on the way home from Autozone, can GM still pull the code and fix the problem? The car is still under warranty but I like to have the story before I go see those people at the Chevy place. Thanks.

Re: Help me with some information on a SES code I would try swapping the #3 coil with one of the others and see if the same code comes up. If the problem follows the swapped coil, it's likely a bad coil. If the problems stays on the same cylinder, it could be a wiring or pcm fault.
