NOTE:. lf there is no treeze data of misfiring,just clear the DTC.. It there is no freeze data of misfiring,test drives under various conditions
- The MIL has been reoorted on.- DTC P0301. P0302. P0303, orP030il is indicated.
Check the fuel iniecto. lunction:Stan the engine, and listen for aclicking sound at the fuel injectorin the problem cylinder.
Check for an open or short in theharness between ECM/PCM andthe fuel iniector.
Repair open or short in the wir€.
Replace the fuel iniector.Sub3titute a known-goodECM/PCM and recheck. Itsymptom/indication goesaway, replace the original ECM/PCM.
Problem verification:1. After checking and recordingthe freeze data, do the ECM/PCM Reset Procedure.2. Exchange the spark plug fromthe problem cylinder with onefrom another cylinder,3. Connect the SCS service con'nector,4. Test-drive the vehicle severaltimes in the range ofthe free2edata.

Description
The CKP Sensor determines timing for fuel injection and ignition of each cylinder and also detects engine speed. The TDCSensor determines ignition timing at start-up (cranking) and when crank angle is abnormal. The Cyp Sensor detects theposition of No. 1 cylinder for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder. The CKP/TDC/CYP Sensor is built into the distribu-ror.
