The diagnosis system operates in normal mode
during normal vehicle use. It also has a check mode
for technicians to simulate malfunction symptoms
and troubleshoot. Most DTCs use 2 trip detection
logic* to prevent erroneous detection, and ensure
thorough malfunction detection. By switching the
ECM to check mode when troubleshooting, the
technician can cause the MIL to light up for a mal-
function that is only detected once or momentarily.
(TOYOTA hand±held tester only)
(See page DI±3)

*2 trip detection logic: When a malfunction is first
detected, the malfunction is temporarily stored in
the ECM memory.(1st trip)
If the same malfunction is detected again during the second
drive test, this second detection causes the MIL to light up.(2nd
trip) (However, the IG switch must be turned OFF between the
1st trip and the 2nd trip.)

Freeze frame data:
Freeze frame data records the engine condition
when a misfire (DTCs P0300 ~ P0304) or fuel trim
malfunction (DTCs P0171, P0172) or other mal-
function (first malfunction only), is detected.
Because freeze frame data records the engine
conditions (fuel system, calculated load, engine
coolant temperature, fuel trim, engine speed, ve-
hicle speed, etc.) when the malfunction is detected,
when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the en-
gine warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich,
etc. at the time of the malfunction.

Priorities for troubleshooting:
If troubleshooting priorities for multiple DTCs are given in the
applicable DTC chart, these should be followed.
If no instructions are given troubleshoot DTCs according to the
following priorities.
(1) DTCs other than fuel trim malfunction (DTCs
P0171, P0172), EGR (DTCs P0401, P0402), and
misfire (DTCs P0300 ~ P0304).
(2) Fuel trim malfunction (DTCs P0171, P0172), and
EGR (DTCs P0401, P0402).
(3) Misfire (DTCs P0300 ~ P0304).

DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred. And
when the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, the
MIL lights up.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause catalyst overheating, the MIL blinks
when misfiring occurs.

idle and/or a M.I.L. ªONº condition with a diagnostic trouble code or codes for misfire
caused by an improperly operating ignition coil assembly. Production changes have been
implemented to prevent this condition from occuring.
2001 model year Japan built Camry vehicles equipped with 1MZ±FE engines (V6).

1MZ±FE engines (V6)
1998 ± 1999 model year Avalon vehicles.

Massachusetts or Vermont, this repair is covered under the California Emissions
Warranty, which is in effect for 36 months or 50,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from

1. Confirm if vehicle is currently misfiring, running rough or hesitating.
If YES ± Go to Step 2.
If NO ± Review Freeze Frame Data and attempt to operate vehicle under similar
driving conditions ± see notes below for information that makes it more likely to
duplicate misfire.
NOTE:
The following activities will turn off misfire detection:
Changing engine RPM greater than 150 RPM.
Changing throttle position quickly.
Misfire duplication can be duplicated most readily when the engine speed and throttle
angle are held nearly constant for at least 2 minutes.
