DESCRIPTION

When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust gas. Extremely high hydrocarbon concentration levels can cause an increase in exhaust emission levels. Extremely high concentrations of hydrocarbons can also cause increases in the three-way catalytic converter temperature, which may cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter. To prevent this increase in emissions and to limit the possibility of thermal damage, the ECM monitors the misfire count. When the temperature of the three-way catalytic converter reaches the point of thermal degradation, the ECM blinks the MIL. To monitor misfires, the ECM uses both the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the crankshaft position sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Misfires are counted when the crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed predetermined thresholds. If the misfire count exceeds the threshold levels, and could cause emission control system performance deterioration, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN


  1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

  2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

  3. Turn the GTS on.

  4. Record the DTC(s) and freeze frame data.

  5. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

  6. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

    Click here

  7. Using the GTS, switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode.

    Click here

  8. Read the misfire count of each cylinder (Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count) with the engine idling. If any misfire count is displayed, skip the following confirmation driving pattern.

  9. Drive the vehicle so that the vehicle conditions displayed in Misfire RPM and Misfire Load of the Data List are the same as the freeze frame data. Perform this step several times.

    Tech Tips

    In order to store misfire DTCs, it is necessary to operate the vehicle for the period of time shown in the table below, confirm the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load in the Data List.

    Engine speed Duration
    Idling 4.5 minutes or more
    1000 4.5 minutes or more
    2000 2.5 minutes or more
    3000 1.5 minutes or more

  10. Check whether misfires have occurred by checking for DTCs and freeze frame data.

    Tech Tips

    Do not turn the power switch off until the output DTC(s) and freeze frame data have been recorded. When the ECM returns to normal mode (default), the stored DTC(s), freeze frame data and other data are cleared.

  11. Record the DTC(s), freeze frame data and misfire counts.

  12. Turn the power switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  13. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

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.

  • 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).

  • Be sure to confirm that no misfiring cylinder DTCs are stored again by conducting the confirmation driving pattern after finishing repairs.

  • When one of Short FT #1 or Long FT #1 in the freeze frame data is outside the range of +/-20%, the air fuel ratio may be rich (-20% or less) or lean (+20% 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.

  • 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.

      Tech Tips


      • If it is difficult to reproduce misfires for each cylinder, check the Data List item called Misfire Margin. Try to find vehicle driving conditions that lower the Misfire Margin value. Values above 30% are considered normal.

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

      Tech Tips

      During charging control, the engine speed is set at idle. Therefore, the engine speed does not increase when depressing the accelerator pedal. In this case, read the Data List item after charging control has completed.

  23. PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING GTS (CONTROL THE EGR STEP POSITION)


    1. Connect the GTS to the DLC3.

    2. Turn the power switch on (IG).

    3. Turn the GTS on.

    4. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode).

    5. Start the engine and warm it up until the engine coolant temperature reaches 75°C (167°F) or higher.

      Tech Tips

      The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.

    6. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the EGR Step Position / Primary / MAP and Throttle Idle Position.

      Throttle Idle Position

    7. Confirm that the Throttle Idle Position is ON and check the MAP values in the Data List while performing the Active Test.

      Tech Tips


      • Do not leave the EGR valve open for 10 seconds or more during the Active Test.

      • Be sure to return the EGR valve to step 0 when the Active Test is completed.

      • Do not open the EGR valve 30 steps or more during the Active Test.

      MAP

      (Data List)

      		 (EGR valve is fully closed) MAP value is at least +10 kPa (75 mmHg) higher than when EGR valve is fully closed

      Tech Tips


      • While performing the Active Test, if the increase in the value of MAP is small, the EGR valve assembly may be a malfunctioning.

      • Even if the EGR valve assembly is malfunctioning, rough idling or an increase in the value of MAP may occur while performing the Active Test. However, the amount that the value of MAP increases will be smaller than normal.
