Circuit/System Verification
1. Verify that no other DTCs are set.
瀚慖f a DTC is set, refer to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle (See: Diagnostic Trouble Code Descriptions/Diagnostic Trouble
Code (DTC) List - Vehicle).
2. Engine idling, verify there is no abnormal engine noise.
瀚慖f there is an abnormal engine noise, refer to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Testing and
Inspection/Symptom Related Diagnostic Procedures/Symptoms - Engine Mechanical).
3. Observe the Misfire Current Counters with a scan tool. The Misfire Current Counters should not be incrementing. Random misfires that are
not steadily incrementing may be normal.
4. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify that the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle
within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
Circuit/System Testing
Important: You must perform the Circuit/System Verification first.
1. Verify that the following conditions do not exist:
* The fuel injector wire harness electrical connectors are connected to the wrong fuel injectors. Refer to Engine Controls Schematics (See:
Diagrams/Electrical Diagrams/Powertrain Management/System Diagram).
* Engine vacuum leaks
* Fuel pressure that is too low or too high-Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis (w/o FPCM) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and
Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics)Fuel System Diagnosis (FPCM) (See: Powertrain
Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics).
* Contaminated fuel-Refer to Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Without Special Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Computers
and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis
(Without Special Tool))Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Special Tool) (See: Powertrain Management/Fuel Delivery and Air
Induction/Fuel/Testing and Inspection/Alcohol/Contaminants-in-Fuel Diagnosis (Special Tool)).
* Restricted exhaust system-Refer to Restricted Exhaust (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Exhaust System/Testing and
Inspection/Restricted Exhaust).
瀚慖f you find any of the above conditions, repair as necessary.
2. Verify that there is no misfire on cylinders 1, 4, 6, or 7 due to cylinder deactivation-Refer to Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel
Management) System Diagnosis (See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests
and General Diagnostics/Cylinder Deactivation (Active Fuel Management) System Diagnosis).
3. Ignition OFF, install the J 26792 - Tester to the spark plug wire boot of the misfiring cylinder.
Note: An erratic or weak spark is considered a no spark condition.
