HINT:
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame records
the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful for determining
whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio lean or rich, etc.
at the time of the malfunction.

DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
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.

HINT:
When the 2 or more codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no random misfire code
is recorded, it indicates that the misfires were detected and recorded at different times.
There is a case where the cylinder other than memorized has an accidental fire (the cylinder which is
one ahead of fired cylinder), so. at the time of checking all the checking items and if there is no ab-
normality, check the cylinder which is different from the recorded cylinder as fired.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If is the case that DTC besides misfire is memorized simultaneously, first perform the troubleshooting
for them.
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand±held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
data records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected, when troubleshooting it is useful
for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine warmed up or not, the air±fuel
ratio lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
When the vehicle is brought to the workshop and the misfire is not occurred, misfire can be confirmed
by reproducing the condition or freeze frame data. Also, after finishing the repair, confirm that there
is no misfire. (See the confirmation driving pattern)
When either of SHORT FT #1, LONG FT #1, SHORT FT #2 or LONG FT #2 in the freeze frame data
is besides the range of ±20%, there is a possibility that the air±fuel ratio is inclining either to ºrichº
(±20% or less) or ºleanº (+20% or more).
When COOLANT TEMP in the freeze frame data is less than 80°C (176°F), there is a possibility or
misfire only during warming up.
In the case that misfire cannot be reproduced, the reason may be because of the driving with lack or
fuel, the use of improper fuel, a stain of ignition plug, and etc.
1 Check wire harness, connector and vacuum hose in engine room.
CHECK:
(a) Check the connection conditions of wire harness and connector.
(b) Check the disconnection, piping and break of vacuum hose.
NG Repair or replace, then confirm that there is no
misfire. (See the confirmation driving pattern)
OK
2 Check spark plug and spark of misfiring cylinder.
PREPARATION:
Remove the spark plug (See page IG±1).
CHECK:
(a) Check for carbon deposits on electrode.
(b) Check electrode gap.
OK:
(a) No large carbon deposit present.
Not wet with gasoline or oil.
(b) Electrode gap: 1.0 ± 1.2 mm (0.039 ± 0.047 in.)
PREPARATION:
(a) Install the spark plug to ignition coil and connect the igni-
tion coil connector to ignition coil.

5. CHECK FOR INTERMITTENT PROBLEMS
(a) Perform a simulation test (See page IN±41).
In the simulation test, reproduce the driving condition at the trouble occurrence according to the cus-
tomer 's comments and freeze frame data recorded with DTC, such as an opening angle of the acceler-
ator pedal, SOC, engine coolant temperature, engine rpm, and MG/1MG2 rpm and torque.
(b) Check the connector and terminal (See page IN±41).
(c) Handle the connector (See page IN±41).
