I got this error code while driving to work. Engine cut off, would not start back up. CEL light, battery light, and Oil light came on. I was able to crank motor with a healthly sounding starter but...could not get engine to turn and stay on.

I brought the car back home in the morning (Thanks AAA)...later in the day I went to the garage to check the code and saw 15 - Ignition Output Signal....what the hell does that mean?

AND now here's the kicker, I cranked the car and it started up just fine. I left the car running for about 20min. turned everything on...A/C, lights put it in gear and back, and let it rev. to 3k for about a few min....nothing.

I don't trust this though. I need to figure out what the hell exactly happened.

My mechanic friend said last night after I told him what lights on the dash came on, and he immediately said....Alternator. But why is it that the car now just starts fine and runs??

 

with all of the DA owners out there, no one has had this problem happen????

 

i just got this code
my car broke down on the freeway. i got it home and took off the dizzy cap and found the rotor came loose and my coil was shot. so i bought a new coil. tryed starting it and wouldnt start and the cel 15 came on

 

Generally it means your ignitor is bad. However, two wires related to the ignitor could also be shorted out

 

You can check the yellow/black wire for voltage.. (I believe it's yellow/black, but it's been a while) I put some information about this in the faq thread..
