The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P0300*5 or P1300*3 *1 and some of P0301 - P0304:Random misfire.Description
Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensorwhich is attached to the crankshaft.
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected. the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTCP0300*5 or P1300*3'*' and some of DTCs P0301 through P0304 will be stored. Then, after misfire has ceased, the MIL willcome on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on, and DTCP0300*5 or P1300*3 *a and some of DTCS P0301 through P0304 will be stored.NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC. troubleshoot those DTCS first, thenrecheck for the misfire DTC.

NOTE: Check the transmission oil with the engine OFF
and the vehicle on level ground.
1. Remove the oil filler plug, then check the level and
condition of the oil.

WASHERReplace.
The oil level must be up to the filler hole. lf it is
below the hole, add oil until it runs out. then rein-
stall the oil filler plug with a new washer.
lf the transmission oil is dirty, remove the drain plug
and drain the oil.
Reinstall the drain plug with a new washer, and refill
the transmission with the recommended oil to the
proper lever.
NOTE: The drain plug washer should be replaced at
every oil change.
Reinstall the oil filler plug with a new washer.
