When carrying out periodic maintenance, or the vehicle is raised
for other service, check exhaust system as follows:
Check rubber mountings for damage, deterioration, and out
of position.
Check exhaust system for leakage, loose connections, dents
and damages.
If bolts or nuts are loose, tighten them to specification.
Check nearby body areas for damaged, missing, or misposi-
tioned parts, open seams, holes, loose connections or other
defects which could permit exhaust fumes to seep into the
vehicle.
Make sure that exhaust system components have enough
clearance from the underbody to avoid overheating and pos-
sible damage to the floor carpet.
Any defects should be fixed at once.

DTC P0115 (DTC No.19) Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Circuit Malfunc-
tion
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Clear DTC, start engine and keep it at idle for 1 min.
2) Select “DTC” mode on scan tool and check DTC.
DTC DETECTING CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSE
Low engine coolant temperature (High voltage-High resis-
tance)
High engine coolant temperature (Low voltage-Low resis-
tance)“G/B” circuit open or shorted to power
“B/Bl” circuit open
ECT sensor malfunction
ECM malfunction
NOTE:
When DTC P0105 (No.11), P0110 (No.18), P0115 (No.19), P0120 (No.13) and P0460 are indicated
together, it is possible that “B/Bl” circuit is open.
Before inspecting, be sure to check that coolant temp. meter in combination meter indicates normal
operating temperature (Engine is not overheating).
When this DTC and P1709 are stored together, also clear DTC stored in TCM after completion of
repair.

DTC P0300 Random Misfire Detected (Misfire Detected at 2 or More Cylinders)
DTC P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected
DTC P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ECM monitors crankshaft revolution speed and engine speed via the crankshaft position sensor and cylinder No.
via the camshaft position sensor. Then it calculates the change in the crankshaft revolution speed and from how
many times such change occurred in every 200 or 1000 engine revolutions, it detects occurrence of misfire.
When ECM detects a misfire (misfire rate per 200 revolutions) which can cause overheat and damage to the
three way catalytic converter, it makes the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) flash as long as misfire occurs at
that rate.
After that, however, when the misfire rate drops, MIL remains ON until it has been judged as normal 3 times
under the same driving conditions.
Also, when ECM detects a misfire (misfire rate per 1000 revolutions) which will not cause damage to three way
catalytic converter but can cause exhaust emission to be deteriorated, it makes MIL light according to the 2 driv-
ing cycle detection logic.

DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1) Turn ignition switch OFF.
2) Clear DTC with ignition switch ON.
3) Check vehicle and environmental condition for :
–Altitude (barometric pressure) : 2400 m, 8000 ft or less (560 mmHg, 75 kPa or more)
–Ambient temp. : –10 °C, 14 °F or higher
–Intake air temp. : 70 °C, 158 °F or lower
–Engine coolant temp. : – 10 – 110 °C, 14 – 230 °F
4) Start engine and keep it at idle for 2 min. or more.
5) Check DTC in “DTC” mode and pending DTC in “ON BOARD TEST” or “PENDING DTC” mode.
6) If DTC is not detected at idle, consult usual driving based on information obtained in “Customer complaint
analysis” and “Freeze frame data check”.

DTC DETECTING CONDITION POSSIBLE CAUSE
Engine under other than high revolution condition
Not on rough road
Engine speed changing rate (below specified value)
Manifold absolute pressure changing rate (below
specified value)
Throttle opening changing rate (below specified
value)
Misfire rate per 200 or 1000 engine revolutions (how
much and how often crankshaft revolution speed
changes) is higher than specified valueEngine overheating
Vacuum leaks (air inhaling) from air intake system
Ignition system malfunction (spark plug(s), high-

NOTE:
Among different types of random misfire, if misfire occurs at cylinders 1 and 4 or cylinders 3 and 2
simultaneously, it may not possible to reconfirm DTC by using the following DTC confirmation proce-
dure. When diagnosing the trouble of DTC P0300 (Random misfire detected) of the engine which is
apparently misfiring, even if DTC P0300 cannot be reconfirmed by using the following DTC confirma-
tion procedure, proceed to the following Diag. Flow Table.
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.
