 DTC stored

When DTCs for misfiring cylinders are randomly stored, but DTC P0300 is not stored, it indicates that misfires have been detected in different cylinders at different times. DTC P0300 is only stored when several misfiring cylinders are detected at the same time.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

A misfiring cylinder can be detected by analyzing crank speed variation. As a result of a combustion event there will be a net acceleration of the crankshaft. Subsequent to a misfire event the engine speed will decelerate over the period following the missed cylinder event.

Speed changes can be characterized by observing changes in the time period for a fixed angle of rotation after firing events. A significant change in this period, assessed by comparison to previous periods, may be attributed to misfire on a known cylinder.

Note

Inspect the fuses for circuits related to this system before performing the following procedure.

Tech Tips


  • If any DTCs other than misfire DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

  • If the misfire does not recur when the vehicle is brought to the workshop, reproduce the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data.

  • If the misfire still cannot be reproduced even though the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data have been reproduced, the following factors can be considered to be a possible cause of the problem:


    1. There was insufficient fuel in the tank.

    2. Improper fuel was used.

    3. The spark plugs have been contaminated.

    4. The problem requires further diagnosis.

  • After finishing repairs, check the misfire counts of the cylinders (Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count).

  • When one of Short FT #1 or Long FT #1 in the freeze frame data is outside the range of +/-15%, the air fuel ratio may be rich (-15% or less) or lean (15% or higher).

  • When Coolant Temp in the freeze frame data is less than 75°C (167°F), the misfires have occurred only while warming up the engine.

  • An extremely imbalanced drive wheel which causes body vibration may cause misfire DTCs to be stored.

    7. Read each value for Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count displayed on the GTS. If no misfire counts occur in any cylinders, perform procedure [A] and [B] and then check the misfire counts again.

    8. Using the GTS, confirm the vehicle conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the DTC was stored [A].

    9. Read the Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count or DTCs displayed on the GTS [B].

      Result
      Result Proceed to
      Most misfires occur in only 1 or 2 cylinders A

      Tech Tips


      • If the freeze frame data record of the engine coolant temperature is below 75°C (167°F), the misfire may be detected only when the engine is cold.

      • If the freeze frame data record of the Engine Run Time is below 120 seconds, the misfire may be detected immediately after the engine is started.
