P1364 Code Cadillac Description
The diagnostic code P1364 for Cadillac vehicles indicates a problem with the ignition control cylinder 4 not toggling after activation. This means the Engine Control Module (ECM) does not detect the proper signal from the ignition system for cylinder 4, which can lead to misfires, rough idling, and poor overall engine performance. The ignition control cylinder is responsible for providing the spark to the spark plug at the right time to ignite the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber. When this system does not toggle after being activated, it can result in a lack of power, reduced fuel efficiency, and potential engine damage if not addressed promptly.
