DESCRIPTION

When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust gas. Extremely high HC concentration levels can cause increases in exhaust emission levels. High concentrations of HC can also cause increases in the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) temperature, which may cause damage to the TWC. To prevent these increases in emissions and to limit the possibility of thermal damage, the ECM monitors the misfire rate. When the temperature of the TWC reaches the point of thermal degradation, the MIL blinks. To monitor misfires, the ECM uses both the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor and the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. The CMP sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the CKP sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Misfires are counted as when the crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed predetermined thresholds.

If the misfire rate exceeds the threshold level, the ECM stores DTC(s).

Misfiring of a specific cylinder occurs and one of the following conditions below is detected (2 trip detection logic):

An emission deterioration misfire occurs.

Tech Tips

When multiple DTCs for misfiring cylinders are 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

The ECM stores a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause emission deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).

Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions of the engine starting, an excessive misfiring rate (approximately 30 to 110 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
An excessive misfiring rate (approximately 30 to 110 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.

The ECM flashes the MIL (immediate detection logic) and stores a DTC (2 trip detection logic) when either one of the following conditions, which could cause the Three-Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) damage, is detected.

At a high engine speed, a catalyst damage misfire, which monitored every 200 crankshaft revolutions, occurs once.
At a normal engine speed, a catalyst damage misfire, which monitored every 200 crankshaft revolutions, occurs 3 times.

WIRING DIAGRAM

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.
Record the DTC(s) and freeze frame data.
Using the tester, switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode Click here.
Read the misfire counts of each cylinder (cylinder No. 1 to No. 8) with the engine in an idling condition. If any misfire count is displayed, skip the following confirmation driving pattern.

Drive the vehicle several times with the conditions, such as engine speed and engine load, shown in Misfire RPM and Misfire Load in the Data List.

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, with the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load in the Data List.

Engine Speed	Duration
Idling	8 minutes or more
1000	4.5 minutes or more
2000	2.5 minutes or more
3000	1.5 minute or more

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

Tech Tips

Do not turn the engine switch off until the stored 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 will be cleared.
Record the DTC(s), freeze frame data and misfire counts.
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 5 seconds.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

Tech Tips

DTC P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 and P0308 are for Euro-OBD only.
If any DTCs other than misfire DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. 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 freeze frame data.
If the misfire still cannot be reproduced even though the conditions stored in the freeze frame data have been duplicated, one of the following factors is considered to be a possible cause of the problem:

The fuel level is low.
Improper fuel is used.
The spark plugs are dirty.

After finishing repairs, check that no misfires occur in each cylinder (cylinder No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, No. 6, No. 7 and No. 8).
Be sure to confirm that no misfiring cylinder DTCs are output again by conducting the confirmation driving pattern after the repairs.
For 6 and 8 cylinder engines, the ECM intentionally does not store the specific misfiring cylinder DTCs at high engine speed. If misfires only occur during high engine speed driving, only DTC P0300 is stored.

In the event of DTC P0300 being present, perform the following operations:

Clear the DTC Click here.
Start the engine and conduct the confirmation driving pattern.
Read the misfiring rates of each cylinder or DTC(s) using the intelligent tester.
Repair the cylinder(s) that has a high misfiring rate or is indicated by the DTC.
After finishing repairs, conduct the confirmation driving pattern again, in order to verify that DTC P0300 is not output.

When either Short FT #1, Long FT #1, Short FT #2 or Long FT #2 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 more).
When the Coolant Temp in the freeze frame data is below 75°C (167°F), the misfires occurred only while warming up the engine.
An extremely imbalanced drive wheel which causes body vibration may cause misfire DTCs to be detected.

PROCEDURE

Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the tester on.

Tech Tips

If any DTCs other than P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307 and P0308 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.

Allow the engine to idle.
Read each value for Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to #8 displayed on the tester. If no misfire counts occur in any cylinders, perform the following procedures:
1. Move the shift lever to D.
2. Check the Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to #8.
3. If misfire counts are still not displayed, perform procedure "A" and "B" and then check the misfire counts again.
Drive the vehicle with the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load noted in the "Read Value Using tester (Misfire RPM and Misfire Load)" procedures above (Procedure "A").

Read the Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to #8 or DTCs displayed on the tester (Procedure "B").

Result
Misfire Count	Proceed to
Most misfires occur in only 1 or 2 cylinders	A
3 cylinders or more have equal misfire counts	B

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 ECT 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.
