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.

Description
Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensor
which is attached to the crankshaft.
lf misiiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence. and DTC
P0301, P0302, P0303 and/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 cycles. the MIL will come on, and DTc
P0301, P0302, P0303 and/or 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.

(CYP) sensor circuit.
The scan toot indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTC) P1382: No signal in the Cylinder Position (CYP} sensor
circuit.
Description
The CKP Sensor determines timing for fuel injection and ignition of each cylinder and also detects engine speed. The TDC
Sensor determines ignition timing at start-up {cranking) and when crank angle is abnormal. The CYP Sensor detects the
position of No. 't cylinder for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder. The CKP/TDC/CYP Sensor is built into the distribu-
ror.
NOTE: lf DTC P1359 is stored atthesametimeas DTC P0335, P0336, Pl361, P1362, P1381 and/or P1382, troubleshoot DTC
P1359 first, then troubleshoot those DTCS.
