From what diagrams I have. I don't have a pin e. I also have a -2 schematic. I'm guessing that's not going to work.

EST means Electronic spark trigger......code 42 is for low coil driver signalmor current......

EST1Low: (Electronic Spark Trigger) is a current driver signal and normally set if the signal from the SECM is shorted to ground.

Check coil driver wiring and connector for shorts SECM PIN 7(EST1) to COIL PIN A

Verify GND on COIL PIN B Verify GND on COIL PIN C Verify GND on COIL PIN D Verify +12vdc on COIL PIN E

To check the Smart Coil internal circuit disconnect the coil connector and measure the resistance from pin to pin

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
