Description
By monitoring the Long Term Fuel Trim, long term malfunctions in the luel system will be detected
lf a malfunction has been detected during two consecutive trips, the MIL will come on and DTC P0171 and/or P0172 will be
stored.

Random Misfire
1T0-500 1 a nd Fo-30ittrrousFF0304-lThB scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTC) P0300 and some of
P0301 - P0304: Random misfire.
Doscription
Misfir; detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluciuation sensor which
is attached to the crankshsft.
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during iho time of its occurrence, and DTC
p0300 and some of DTCS p0301 through P0304 will be stor€d. Then, after misfire has ceased, the MIL will come on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cycles, the MIL will come on, and DTC
PO3O0 and some ot DTCS P0301 through P0304 will be stored
NOTE: lJ some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC, troubleshoot those DTCS first. then
troubleshoot the misfire DTC.

P0505: ldle Control SYstem
P1361, P1362: TDC sensor
P1381. P1382: CYP sensor
P1508: IAC valve
Possible Cause
. Fuel pump insufficient fuel pressure. amount of flow
. Fuel line clogging, blockage, leakage
. Fuel {ilter clogging
a Fuel pressure regulator stuck open
. Distributormallunction
o lgnition coil wire open, leakage
. lgnition control module malfunction
. Valves carbon deposit
a Compression low
. IAC valve malfunction
. Fast idle thermo valve malfunction
o Fuel does not meet Owner's Manual spec., lackotfu€l
. VTEC system malfunction
Troubleshooting
By test-driving, determine the conditions during which misfire occurs. Depending on these conditions, test in the order
described in the table below.

Doscription
Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crsnkshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation sensor whichis 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 DTCP0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 will be stored.

3. Align the quick-connect fittings with the pipe, and
align the retainer locking pawls with the connector
grooves. Then press the quick connect fittings onto
the pipe until both retainer pawls lock with a click-

NOTE: lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount of
new engine oil on the pipe end.

Make sure the connection is secure and the pawls
are lirmly locked into place; check visually and by
pulling the connector.
RETAINER
Reconnect the battery negative cable, and turn the
ignition switch ON (ll) the fuel pump wjll run for about
two seconds, and fuel pressure will rise. Repeat two
or three times, and check that there is no leakage in
the fuel supply system.

Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC)
lT042O I Th" """n tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0420: catatyst system efficiency below threshold.
Descriotion
This system evaluates the catalyst's capacity by means of the HO2S (Primary and Secondary) output during stable drivingconditions. lf deterioration has been detected during three consecutive driving cycles, the MIL comes on and DTC p0420 willbe stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as DTC PO42O. troubleshoot those DTCS tirst. thentroubleshoot DTC P0420.

Possible Cause
. TWC Deterioration
. Exhaust system leakage
Troubleshooting Flowchart
Problem verification:1. Do the ECM Reset Procedure.2. Start the engine. Hold theengine at 3,000 rpm with noload (in Park or neutral) untilthe radiator fan comes on,3. Connect the SCS service con,
4. Test drive 40 - 55 mph (64 -
88 km/h) for approx. two min-utes, Then decelerate Ior atleast 3 seconds with the throttle completely closed. Thenreduce the vehicle speed to35 mph (56 km/h), and try tohold it until the readinesscode comes on.
