Q: What does code P1367 mean?

Cylinder 5 Ignition Circuit Open. P1367 on a Volkswagen indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected an open circuit in the ignition coil circuit for cylinder 5, meaning the coil cannot receive the command signal or ground path needed to fire the spark plug. The ECM monitors the ignition coil driver circuit and sets this code when the expected voltage or current is outside the normal range, typically because the circuit is broken or has excessive resistance.
