WARNING:
When performing a road test, select a place where there is no traffic or possibility of a traffic acci-
dent and be very careful during testing to avoid occurrence of an accident.
Road test should be carried out with 2 persons, a driver and a tester, on a level road.
NOTE:
Check to make sure that following conditions are satisfied when using this “DTC CONFIRMATION
PROCEDURE”.

DTC P0300/P0301/P0302/P0303/P0304/P0305/P0306 Random Misfire/Cylinder
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
DTC P0300 :
• Misfire which causes catalyst to overheat during 200 engine
revolutions is detected at 2 or more cylinders. (MIL flashes as
long as this misfire occurs continuously.)
• Misfire which affects exhaust emission adversely during 1000
engine revolutions is detected at 2 or more cylinders (2 driving
cycle detection logic)• Ignition system
• Fuel injector and its circuit
• Fuel line pressure
• Engine compression
• Abnormal air drawn in
• EGR system
• Fuel level sensor
• Valve lash adjuster
• Valve timing DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306 :

revolutions is detected at 1 cylinder. (MIL flashes as long as
this misfire occurs continuously.)
• Misfire which affects exhaust emission adversely during 1000
engine revolutions is detected at 1 cylinder
(2 driving cycle detection logic)
