Repair)
Repair Verification
1. Install any components that have been removed or replaced during diagnosis.
2. Clear the DTCs.
3. Turn OFF the ignition for 60 seconds.
4. If the repair was related to a DTC, duplicate the Conditions for Running the DTC and use the Freeze Frame/Failure Records, if applicable, in
order to verify the DTC does not reset. If the DTC resets or another DTC is present, refer to the Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List -
Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle) and perform the appropriate diagnostic
procedure.
5. To verify that the performance of the catalytic converter has not been affected by the condition that set this DTC, perform the Repair
Verification for DTCs P0420 and P0430. Refer to DTC P0420 or P0430 (See: P Code Charts/P0420).

Check - Vehicle) prior to using this diagnostic procedure.
* Review Strategy Based Diagnosis (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Strategy Based Diagnosis) for an
overview of the diagnostic approach.
* Diagnostic Procedure Instructions (See: Testing and Inspection/Initial Inspection and Diagnostic Overview/Diagnostic Procedure
Instructions) provides an overview of each diagnostic category.

Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses information from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor in order to determine when an engine misfire is
occurring, and uses information from the camshaft position (CMP) sensor in order to determine which cylinder is misfiring. By monitoring
variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the ECM is able to detect individual misfire events. If the ECM detects a misfire rate
sufficient to cause emission levels to exceed mandated standards, DTC P0300 sets. Under certain driving conditions, a misfire rate can be high
enough to cause the catalytic converter to overheat, possibly damaging the converter. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash ON and OFF
when catalytic converter overheating conditions are present and DTC P0300 is set. DTCs P0301-P0308 corresponds to cylinders 1-8. If the ECM is
able to determine that a specific cylinder is misfiring, the DTC for that cylinder will also set.
