The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
P0300*,, P1300*1 and some of po30t - pO3O4; Randommisfire.
Descriotion
Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (cKF) sensorwhich is attached to the crankshaft.lfmisfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTcP0300*', P1300*1 and some of DTCs P03ol through P0304 will be stored. Then, after misfire has ceased, the MtL will comeon,
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on, and DTcand some of DTCS p0301 through p0304 wi

be stored.NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTc, troubleshoot those DTcs first. thentroubleshoot the misfire DTC.
