[F03O2l 16"""untool indicates Diagnostic Trouble code (DTc) P0302: Cylinder2 misfire detected.
[FO3Ofl 16" ".un toot indicates Diagnostic Troubte Code (DTC) P0303; Cylinder 3 misfire detected.
I P0304 I ths..rr tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) PO3O4: Cylinder 4 misfire detected.
D€scription
lMisfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensor
which 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 DTC
PO3O1, P0302, PO3O3 or P0304 will be stored. Then, after the misfire has ceased, the MIL will come on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cyclss, the MIL will come on, and DTC
P0301, P0302, P0303 or 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, then
recheck for the misfire DTC.
