P0300-MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE
For a complete wiring diagramRefer to Section 8W.
When Monitored:
Any time the engine is running, and the adaptive numerator has been successfully updated.
Set Condition:
When more than a 2% (2.5% LEV) misfire rate is measured during two trips. Above 3000 RPM 1 trip less than
3000 RPM 2 trip. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE -
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).
Diagnostic Test
1.CYLINDER MIS-FIRE CONDITION ACTIVE
NOTE: Check for any TSB’s that apply to a Misfire condition. Review the vehicle repair history for any mis-
fire condition repairs that have been performed.
Star the engine.
Observe the WHICH CYLINDER IS MISFIRING screen for at least one minute on the scan tool.
Is there a misfire present?

No>>
Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure.
Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - STANDARD PROCEDURE)
2.VISUAL INSPECTION
NOTE: Anything that affects the speed of the crankshaft can cause a misfireDTC.
NOTE: When a Misfire is detected for a particular cylinder, the PCM will shut down that cylinders Injector
Control circuit.
- Visually inspect the engine for any of the following conditions.
- Worn serpentine belt
- Binding Engine-Driven accessories: A/C Compressor, P/S Pump, Water pump.
- Misalignment of the Water pump, P/S Pump and A/C Compressor pulleys
- Corroded PCM power and ground circuits.
- Improper CKP, CMP, MAP, and TP Sensor mounting
- Poor connector/terminal to component connection. i.e., CKP sensor, Fuel Injector, Ign coil, etc.
