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.

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
