Repair Instructions

* Spark Plug Wire Replacement (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks/Ignition Cable/Service

and Repair)

* Spark Plug Replacement (See: Engine, Cooling and Exhaust/Engine/Tune-up and Engine Performance Checks/Spark Plug/Service and

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).

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
