Yes

- For malfunctions that can be caused by
fuel problems (e.g. fuel system too lean), the
malfunction "Fuel Level Too Low" is also set
if there is less than 12 liters (12.7 qt.) fuel in
the tank check tank level and fill tank if
necessary

(e.g. fuel injector, Oxygen Sensor
Proben, Fuel system etc.) in DTC
memory
No Yes

- The combustion misfiring that has been
recognized is a resulting malfunction from
the stored Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
First repair this malfunction according to
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) table

Has combustion misfiring been recognized on only
one or two cylinders (2/4 or 3/5 or 1/6)?
No
Yes

- Spark harness connector loose or faulty check- Check ignition cable for damage (e.g. cracks, traces
of burns, worn places)
- Check face side of spark plug
- Fuel injector of the cylinder faulty Check fuel

Combustion misfiring on several or all cylinders
stored in the DTC memory

- Leaks in intake system check intake system for air
leaks - Fuel pressure not OK check system and residual
pressure page 24
-20

- Exhaust gas recirculation too high check EGR system
hoses and components - Carbon deposits on fuel injectors check- Carbon deposits on intake valves check

Malfunction cause found: Yes


- Erase DTC memory, test drive and check DTC memory
Notes:

The malfunction "P0300 / 16684" is set as soon as combustion misfiring has been recognized on one or more cylinders.
If there is combustion misfiring with low misfiring rate, the MIL is only switched on after two successive trips without
preceding cold start and malfunction occurring.
Combustion misfiring with high misfiring rate is displayed immediately by the MIL light blinking since the Three Way
Catalytic Converter (TWC) can be damaged. In this case, driving should continue with reduced power and the malfunction
should be repaired as quickly as possible.
