Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0302 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 P0302 will determine if the No.2 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 illuminate the malfunction indicator lamp
(MIL) the first time the fault is detected.
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 P0302 will clear after 40 consecutive
ignition cycles occur without a fault.
DTC P0302 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,
carbon tracking or other damage.
Substitute a known good coil ± Swap the ignition coils
and retest. If the misfire follows the coil, replace the
ignition coil.
