Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0301 Cylinder Misfire Detected
Circuit Description
Misfire is monitored as a function of the combustion
quality (CQ) signals generated from the ignition current
sense system. Combustion signals represent the degree
of combustion in each cylinder. Misfire is detected when
the combustion signal is below a predetermined value.
This DTC P0301 will determine if the No.1 cylinder misfire
is occurring by monitoring the Combustion Quality.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
None of the following DTCs occur: TP sensor, MAF
sensor, vehicle speed sensor, ECT sensor.
The engine speed is between 600 and 6250 RPM.
The system voltage is between 11 and 16 volts.
The ECT indicates an engine temperature between
±7C (28F) and 110C (230F).
The throttle angle is steady and throttle change less
than 2% per 125 milliseconds.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected the fault.
If the misfire is severe enough to cause possible
catalyst damage, the PCM will flash the MIL for as long
as the misfire remains at catalyst damaging levels.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive ignition cycle in which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0301 will clear after 40 consecutive
ignition cycles occur without a fault.
DTC P0301 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
Infoº function or by disconnecting the PCM battery
feed.
Diagnostic Aids
Check for the following conditions:
System grounds ± Ensure all connections are clean
and properly tightened.
Injector ± Perform the injector coil/balance test to
locate a faulty injector that contributes to a lean
condition on the affected cylinder. In addition to the
above test, check the condition of the injector O-ring.
Faulty spark plug ± Check for a cracked insulator,
carbon tracking, incorrect gap, and worn electrodes.
Damaged or faulty ignition coil ± Check for cracks or
other damage.
Substitute a known good coil ± Swap the ignition coils
and retest. If the misfire follows the coil, replace the
ignition coil.

ION Sensing Module/ION Sensing Knock Intensity Circuit Fault
060R200055
Circuit Description
The Power Control Module (PCM) checks the validity of
the signals used in the ION Sensing module at the
following engine operating conditions.
The test is performed to evacuate the Knock Intensity
(KI) signal pulse width if it is within a predetermined
range. If the KI signal pulse width is out of the
predetermined range, the fail counter will be
incremented. If the failure counter exceeds the
calibration, then test is complete and a failure will be
reported. If the sample counter threshold is reached
before the failure threshold, then the test is complete
and a pass will be reported. This test will detect an
open/short in the KI line circuit, ION module faults and
analog input faults in the PCM.
Conditions for setting the DTC
Ignition voltage is between 10volt and 16 volts.
No Crank DTCs set.
No EST DTCs set.
No Misfire DTCs set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will ON the MIL after second trip with
detected the fault.
The PCM calculates an air flow value based on idle air
control valve position, throttle position, RPM and
barometric pressure.The PCM will store condition which were present when
the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the Failure
Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0325 will clear after 40 consecutive trip
cycles during which the warm up cycles have occurred

Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent may be caused by the following:
Poor connections.
Misrouted harness.
Rubbed through wire insulation.
Broken wire inside the insulation.
Check for the following conditions:
Poor connection at PCM- Inspect harness connectors
for backed out terminals, improper mating, broken
locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and
poor terminal to wire connection.
Damaged harness-Inspect the wiring harness for

Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0336 58X Reference Signal Circuit
060R200066
Circuit Description
The 58X reference signal is produced by the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor. During one crankshaft revolution,
58 crankshaft pulses will be produced. The powertrain
control module (PCM) uses the 58X reference signal to
calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position. The PCM
constantly monitors the number of pulses on the 58X
reference circuit. If the PCM receives an incorrect
number of pulses on the 58X reference circuit, DTC
P0336 will set.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
Engine is running.
Extra or missing pulse is detected between
consecutive 58X reference pulses.
Above condition is detected in 10 of 100 crankshaft
rotations.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The PCM will illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) after the second consecutive trip in which the
fault is detected.
The PCM will store conditions which were present
when the DTC was set as Freeze Frame and in the
Failure Records data.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The PCM will turn the MIL ªOFFº on the third
consecutive trip cycle during which the diagnostic has
been run and the fault condition is no longer present.
A history DTC P0336 will clear after 40 consecutive
warm±up cycles have occurred without a fault.
DTC P0336 can be cleared by using the Tech 2 ªClear
