1 Misfire/Cylinder 2 Misfire/Cylinder 3 Misfire/Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected/Cyl-
inder 5 Misfire Detected/Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
ECM (PCM) measures the angle speed of the crankshaft based on the pulse signal from the CKP sensor and
CMP sensor for each cylinder. If it detects a large change in the angle speed of the crankshaft, it concludes
occurrence of a misfire. When the number of misfire is counted by the ECM (PCM) beyond the DTC detecting
condition, it determines the cylinder where the misfire occurred and outputs it as DTC.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION AND TROUBLE AREA
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Connect scan tool to DLC with ignition switch OFF.
2) Turn ON ignition switch and clear DTC, pending DTC and freeze frame data by using scan tool and start
engine.
3) Increase vehicle speed to speed recorded as freeze frame data (V) ± 5 km/h when detecting misfire.
4) Keep driving above vehicle speed for 5 min.
5) Stop vehicle and check DTC (or pending DTC) by using scan tool.DTC DETECTING CONDITION TROUBLE AREA
