DTC P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306, P0307, or P0308
The ECM is detecting a crankshaft speed change indicating a single cylinder misfire is occuring that exceeds mandated emission level standards or
is at catalytic converter damaging levels.
Action Taken When the DTC Sets
* DTCs P0300-P0308 are Type B DTCs.
* When the MIL is flashing the fuel injector may be disabled for the misfiring cylinder to protect the catalytic converter.
* Depending on the conditions that set the DTC, the engine may go into Open Loop.
Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
* DTCs P0300-P0308 are Type B DTCs.
* The DTC must run and pass under the same operating conditions that were present when the DTC failed.
Diagnostic Aids
* Ensure that each fuel injector is connected to the proper fuel injector harness connector.
* A misfire may only occur when the engine is operating under a load or when the engine is cold.
* A high resistance condition on any ignition control (IC) circuit can cause an engine misfire P0300-P0308 DTC to set without setting an IC
circuit P0351-P0358 DTC.
* This test procedure requires that the vehicle battery has passed a load test and is completely charged. Refer to Battery Inspection/Test (See:
Starting and Charging/Testing and Inspection/Component Tests and General Diagnostics/Battery Inspection/Test).
* A misfire DTC could be caused by an excessive vibration from sources other than the engine. Inspect the following for possible sources of
vibration:
- A tire or wheel that is out of round or balance
- Variable thickness brake rotors
- An unbalanced drive shaft
- Certain rough road conditions
- A damaged accessory drive component or belt
- A damaged reluctor wheel
- The Crankshaft Position System Variation Learn procedure may need to be performed.
