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.

4.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-
Ing sound.
NOTE: lf it is hard to connect, put a small amount of
new engine oil on the pipe end.
5. Make sure the connection is secure and that the pawls
are firmly locked into place; check visually and bypulling the connector.
Reconnect the battery negative cable, and turn the
ignition switch ON (ll). The fuel pump will 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.

Coat a new O-ring with clean engine oil, and install the resonator chamber ('99 - 00 models).
Turn the ignition switch ON (ll), but do not operate the starter. After the fuel pump runs for approximately two seconds,
the fuef pressure in the fuel line rises. Repeat this two or three times, then check whether there is any fuel leakage.

'1. Check the No. 25 METER (7.5 A) fuse in the under-dash fuse/relay box before testing.
2. Fold the left rear seat cushion forward, and remove
the base frame cover {see section 20).
3. Remove the access panel from the floor.
4. Disconnect the 5P connector from the fuel pump.
5. Measure voltage between the 5P connector termi-nals No.2 and No. 5 with the ignition switch ON ( ).There should be between 5 and 8 V.

Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Attach a jumper wire between the No. 2 and No. 5terminals, then turn the ignition switch ON fll).
Check that the pointer of the fuel gauge starts mov-ing toward the "F" mark. Turn the ignition switchOFF before the pointer reaches "F" on the gauge
dial. Failure to do so may damage the luel gauge.
NOTE: The fuel gauge is a bobbin (cross-coil) type,hence the fuel level is continuously indicated evenwhen the ignition switch is OFF, and the pointer
moves more slowly than that of a bimetal type.
. lf the pointer of the fuel gauge does not move atall. replace the gauge.
. lf the gauge is OK, inspect the fuel gauge send-ing unit.
