Default Help...CEL 15 Ignition Signal...starts then dies...

Car stalled today once I pulled into the parking lot at my job. Won't stay on now...

I got CEL 15/27/28. From what I've found online CEL 15 is Ignition Signal, 27 is Sub O2S Signal, and 28 is Main O2S.

I already have the O2 sensors, but what do I need to replace for CEL 15 Ignition Signal?

From what I'm seeing I should replace the Ignition Control Module? Is their anything else worth replacing while I'm in there?

Well I wen't ahead and bought the Ignition Control Module, $205 at Autozone. Gotta get a ride to my car and see how it goes now. Any other advice from anyone who got a CEL 15 would be appreciated. I can't even find the location of it online...

Well my brother figured it out, tested the Ignition Control Module I bought and found out it wasn't that, however when I returned to my car I was getting CEL 14/78...nothing else. So he unscrewed the 1UZFE plastic engine cover and found out the Ignition Coil wasn't fully connected. After he connected it properly the engine fired right up. Returned the part, got my money back, end of story.

Believe it or not, there was a same thread that this guy was having the identical code as you. It ended up being the ignition module not being plugged in all the way lol. Glad to hear it's corrected!
