Test igntion coil, ignitor, and igntion switch. If any test bad, replace. Try checking to make sure all wires are plugged in correctlly and that the ecu works properly.

The ecu would read a signal from the igntior and that is what would throw a code 15, igntion output signal. The igntor still thinks the igntion coil works and the ecu wouldn't know so no code. What tests didi you do? What does it sound like when you turn the key. Check the main relay.

No, it is under the dashboard on the drivers side all the way down. I will see if a i can find a picture of its location.
