Motorcraft DG-562 Ignition Coil 4-Pack — Complete Solution to Ignition Problems in Ford EcoBoost 2.0L and 2.3L Engines
If your Ford Escape, Fusion, Edge, Explorer, or Mustang EcoBoost is experiencing ignition fault codes and running erratically, the Motorcraft DG-562 ignition coil is almost certainly the culprit. The DG-562 is the OEM-recommended coil for Ford's 2.0L and 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder engines – one of the most commonly used turbocharged engines in Ford's modern lineup. In this guide, we'll explain what the DG-562 does, why replacing all four is the right decision, and how to do it yourself.
What is the Motorcraft DG-562?
The DG-562 is an original Motorcraft ignition coil for Ford's 2.0L and 2.3L EcoBoost 4-cylinder engines. A coil is placed directly over each spark plug (a total of 4 coils for the 4-cylinder engine) and produces a high-voltage spark each time a cylinder fires. When the DG-562 fails, the affected cylinder immediately displays an ignition fault, and you will see codes P0301–P0304, along with erratic running and reduced turbo response.
Symptoms of a faulty DG-562 in your EcoBoost include:
Engine malfunction light and ignition fault codes P0300–P0304
Irregular idling or engine jerking – particularly noticeable when stationary
Hesitation or wobbling during acceleration
Reduced turbo response and power
Poor fuel economy
Difficulty starting in cold weather
In turbocharged EcoBoost engines, a faulty ignition coil is particularly noticeable because the turbo amplifies any weakness in ignition. Even a slightly worn coil can cause erratic operation under turbo boost.
So why should you replace all four DG-562 coils at once?
All four coils are the same age and have the same mileage; if one fails, the others will soon fail as well.
A single faulty coil puts extra firing stress on the remaining three, accelerating their failure.
Replacing all four coils at once saves you from repeated labor and future ignition problems.
It ensures balanced ignition performance in every cylinder.
Save $140 from AutoZone instead of buying all four coils individually ($135 each).

How to replace all 4 DG-562 coils - step-by-step:
Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery before starting.
Remove the engine cover, if any.
Clean any debris from inside each coil with compressed air before removal.
Remove the electrical connector - press the locking tab and pull up simultaneously. Remove the coil retaining bolt and pull the old coil straight up from the spark plug.
Press the new DG-562 coil firmly onto the spark plug until it clicks into place.
Reinstall the bolt and reconnect the electrical connector.
Repeat for all 4 cylinders.
Reconnect the battery, clear any ignition fault codes, and take a test drive.
Total time: 45-60 minutes. The EcoBoost engine bay is compact – using extensions and a rotary socket makes accessing the rear cylinders much easier.
💡 Pro tip: For a complete EcoBoost service, replace your SP-550 spark plugs along with your DG-562 coils. If your coils need replacing and your spark plugs have the same mileage, perform both operations at once.
