DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P0303
CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE
System Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the crank-
shaft and camshaft positions to detect if the engine is mis-
firing. The ECM looks for a quick drop in crankshaft speed.
This test is executed in blocks of 100 engine revolution
tests. It may take between one to several tests to store a
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) and illuminate the Mal-
function Indicator Lamp (MIL). Under light misfire condi-
tions, it may also take more than one trip to set a DTC. Se-
vere misfire will flash the MIL, indicating that catalyst
damage is possible.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Emission threshold is 3%.
S 20 engine cycles have occurred since cranking has
started.
S A/C compressor clutch has not just engaged or dis-
engaged.

S The MIL will illuminate after two consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs with the fault
active.
Or
S The MIL will illuminate immediately and flash if mis-
fire is present.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffers.S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn off after four consecutive ignition
cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a fault
within the freeze frame conditions that the DTC
failed.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm–
up cycles without a fault.
S The DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids
An intermittent can also be the result of a defective reluctor
wheel. Remove the CKP sensor and inspect the reluctor
wheel through the sensor mount hole. Check for porosity
and the condition of wheel. If the DTC is intermittent refer
to”Symptoms Diagnosis” in this section.
Test Description
Number(s) below refer to the step number(s) on the Diag-
nostic Table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the malfunction occurred. The information is then
stored on the scan tool for later reference.
3. A visual/physical inspection should include check-
ing the following components:
S The wiring for proper connections, pinches or
cuts.
S The ECM grounds for being clean and tight.
S The vacuum hoses for splits, kinks, and proper
connections as shown on the Vehicle Emission
Information label. Check thoroughly for any type
of leak or restriction.
S For air leaks at the throttle body mounting area
and intake manifold sealing surfaces.
5. When all the accumulators are relatively equal, then
the misfire is being caused by something that af-
fects the entire engine. When they are not then the
misfire is being caused by something that is specif-
ic to two or more cylinders.
6. Whenever the misfire is not present operating the
vehicle may be necessary to duplicate the condi-
tions in the Freeze Frame Data in order to detect
misfire. Depending on the engine load, the condi-
tions may have to be maintained for up to 20 sec-
onds. Whenever the misfire accumulators start to
increment, then misfire is present. A history misfire
counter will store the number of misfires that have
occurred until the DTC is cleared.

ROUGH ROAD SENSOR SOURCE NOT DETECTED
System Description
The Engine Control Module (ECM) identifies engine mis-
fire by detecting variations in crankshaft speed. Crank-
shaft speed variations can also occur when a vehicle is op-
erating over a rough road. The ECM receives rough road
signal by gravity sensing rough road (G) sensor or Elec-
tronic Brake Control Module (EBCM) if equipped with the
Anti–Lock Brake System (ABS). The ABS can detect if the
vehicle is on the rough surface based on wheel accelera-
tion/deceleration data supplied by each wheel speed sen-
sor. This information sent to the ECM by EBCM through
serial data line. The G sensor is vertical low g–accelera-
tion sensor. By sensing vertical acceleration caused by
bumps or portholes in the road, the ECM determine if the
changes in crankshaft speed are due to engine misfire or
are driveline induced. If the ECM can not receive any of
those signal, a historic Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will
be stored.
Conditions for Setting the DTCS ECM can not detect any rough road source.
S Vehicle speed is greater than 5km/h (3.1 mph).
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The MIL will not illuminate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Failure Records buffers.

S The DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.

from the vehicle speed sensor.
5. Refer to service bulletin information for the latest
calibration update.
6. Refer to the latest Techline information for program-
ming procedures.
8. A resistance reading that is higher than the speci-
fied value indicates that the VSS circuitry is open.
10. If the displayed resistance is less than the 1300
ohms, the VSS high and low circuits are shorted

DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE (DTC) P1336
58X CRANK POSITION TOOTH ERROR NOT LEARNED
Circuit Description
In order to detect engine misfire at higher engine speeds,
the Engine Control Module (ECM) must know of any varia-
tion between the crankshaft sensor pulses. Most varia-
tions are due to the machining of the crankshaft reluctor
wheel. However, other sources of variation are also pos-
sible. A Crankshaft Position (CKP) system variation learn-
ing procedure must be performed any time a change is
made to the crankshaft sensor to crankshaft relationship
of if the ECM is replaced or reprogrammed. The ECM
measures the variations and then calculates compensa-
tion factors needed to enable the ECM to accurately de-
tect engine misfire at all speeds and loads. A scan tool
must be used to command the ECM to learn these varia-
tions. If for any reason the ECM is unable to learn these
variations or they are out of an acceptable range, the ECM
will set Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1336. An ECM
that has not had the CKP system variation learning proce-
dure performed due to replacement or reprogramming will
also set DTC P1336.
Conditions for Setting the DTC
S Tooth error not learned if the manufacture enable
counter is set to zero.
S DTCs P0106, P0107, P0108, P0117, P0118,

P0405, P0406 and P0502 are not set.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
S The Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) will illumi-
nate.
S The ECM will record operating conditions at the
time the diagnostic fails. This information will be
stored in the Freeze Frame and Failure Records
buffer.
S A history DTC is stored.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
S The MIL will turn OFF after four consecutive igni-
tion cycles in which the diagnostic runs without a
fault.
S A history DTC will clear after 40 consecutive warm
up cycles without a fault.
S Disconnecting the ECM battery feed for more than
10 seconds.
S DTC(s) can be cleared by using the scan tool.Diagnostic Aids
CAUTION : To avoid personal injury when performing
the crankshaft position system variation learning
procedure, always set the vehice parking brake and
block the drive wheels. Release the throttle immedi-
ately when the engine starts to decelerate. Once the
learn procedure is completed, engine control will be
returned to the operator, and the engine will respond
to throttle position.
DTC P1336 will only set if the ECM has not learned the
CKP system variation. The ECM only needs to learn this
variation once per life cycle of the vehicle unless the crank
sensor to crankshaft relationship is disturbed. Removing
a part is considered a disturbance. A fully warmed engine
is critical to learning the variation correctly. If a valid learn
occurs, no other learns can be completed that ignition
cycle.
If the engine cuts out before the specified learn procedure
engine speed or at normal fuel cutoff rpm, the ECM is not
in the learn procedure mode.
Test Description
The number(s) below refer to step(s) on the diagnostic
table.
1. The On–Board Diagnostic (EOBD) System Check
prompts the technician to complete some basic
checks and store the freeze frame and failure re-
cords data on the scan tool if applicable. This
creates an electronic copy of the data taken when
the fault occurred. The information is then stored on
the scan tool for later reference.
2. Engine temperature is critical to properly learn the
CKP system variation. Failure to properly warm the
engine before performing this procedure will result
in an inaccurate measurement of the CKP system
variation. The ECM learns this variation as the en-
gine is decelerating and then allows engine control
to be returned to the operator. All accessories must
be OFF when learning the CKP system angle varia-
tion. If the A/C is not disabled when the learn pro-
cedure is enabled, the ECM will disable the A/C.
3. If after the specified number attempts the ECM
cannot learn the CKP system variation, then the
variation is too large and no further attempts should
be made until the variation problem is corrected.
4. Being unable to learn the procedure indicates that
the variation is out of range.
5. After the CKP system variation has been learned,
wait above 10 seconds with ignition switch OFF to
prevent being cleared the learned value.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
AND SYSTEM OPERATION
IGNITION SYSTEM OPERATION
This ignition system does not use a conventional distribu-
tor and coil. It uses a crankshaft position sensor input to
the engine control module (ECM). The ECM then deter-
mines Electronic Spark Timing (EST) and triggers the di-
rect ignition system ignition coil.
This type of distributorless ignition system uses a ”waste
spark” method of spark distribution. Each cylinder is
paired with the cylinder that is opposite it (1–4 or 2–3). The
spark occurs simultaneously in the cylinder coming up on
the compression stroke and in the cylinder coming up on
the exhaust stroke. The cylinder on the exhaust stroke re-
quires very little of the available energy to fire the spark
plug. The remaining energy is available to the spark plug
in the cylinder on the compression stroke.
These systems use the EST signal from the ECM to con-
trol the electronic spark timing. The ECM uses the follow-
ing information:
S Engine load (manifold pressure or vacuum).
S Atmospheric (barometric) pressure.
S Engine temperature.
S Intake air temperature.
S Crankshaft position.
S Engine speed (rpm).
ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
IGNITION COIL
The Electronic Ignition (EI) system ignition coil provides
the spark for two spark plugs simultaneously. The EI sys-
tem ignition coil is not serviceable and must be replaced
as an assembly.
CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
This direct ignition system uses a magnetic crankshaft
position sensor. This sensor protrudes through its mount
to within approximately 0.05 inch (1.3 mm) of the crank-
shaft reluctor. The reluctor is a special wheel attached to
the crankshaft or crankshaft pulley with 58 slots machined
into it, 57 of which are equally spaced in 6 degree intervals.
The last slot is wider and serves to generate a ”sync
pulse.” As the crankshaft rotates, the slots in the reluctor
change the magnetic field of the sensor, creating an in-
duced voltage pulse. The longer pulse of the 58th slot
identifies a specific orientation of the crankshaft and al-
lows the engine control module (ECM) to determine the
crankshaft orientation at all times. The ECM uses this in-
formation to generate timed ignition and injection pulses
that it sends to the ignition coils and to the fuel injectors.
CAMAHAFT POSITION SENSOR
The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor sends a CMP sen-
sor signal to the engine control module (ECM). The ECM
uses this signal as a ”sync pulse” to trigger the injectors in
the proper sequence. The ECM uses the CMP sensor sig-
nal to indicate the position of the #1 piston during its power
stroke. This allows the ECM to calculate true sequential
fuel injection mode of operation. If the ECM detects an in-
correct CMP sensor signal while the engine is running,
DTC P0341 will set. If the CMP sensor signal is lost while
the engine is running, the fuel injection system will shift to
a calculated sequential fuel injection mode based on the
last fuel injection pulse, and the engine will continue to run.
As long as the fault is present, the engine can be restarted.
It will run in the calculated sequential mode with a 1–in–6
chance of the injector sequence being correct.
IDLE AIR SYSTEM OPERATION
The idle air system operation is controlled by the base idle
setting of the throttle body and the Idle Air Control (IAC)
valve.
The engine control module (ECM) uses the IAC valve to
set the idle speed dependent on conditions. The ECM
uses information from various inputs, such as coolant tem-
perature, manifold vacuum, etc., for the effective control
of the idle speed.
FUEL CONTROL SYSTEM
OPERATION
The function of the fuel metering system is to deliver the
correct amount of fuel to the engine under all operating
conditions. The fuel is delivered to the engine by the indi-
vidual fuel injectors mounted into the intake manifold near
each cylinder.
The two main fuel control sensors are the Manifold Abso-
lute Pressure (MAP) sensor, the Front Heated Oxygen
Sensor (HO2S1) and the Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor
(HO2S2).
The MAP sensor measures or senses the intake manifold
vacuum. Under high fuel demands the MAP sensor reads
a low vacuum condition, such as wide open throttle. The
engine control module (ECM) uses this information to ri-
chen the mixture, thus increasing the fuel injector on–time,
to provide the correct amount of fuel. When decelerating,
the vacuum increases. This vacuum change is sensed by
the MAP sensor and read by the ECM, which then de-
creases the fuel injector on–time due to the low fuel de-
mand conditions.
HO2S Sensors
The HO2S sensor is located in the exhaust manifold. The
HO2S sensor indicates to the ECM the amount of oxygen
in the exhaust gas and the ECM changes the air/fuel ratio
to the engine by controlling the fuel injectors. The best air/
fuel ratio to minimize exhaust emissions is 14.7 to 1, which
allows the catalytic converter to operate most efficiently.
