Code No. P0300: Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

OPERATION

• Refer to Code No. P0201: No. 1 injector system

P.13A-89

.

• Refer to Code No. P0202: No. 2 injector system

P.13A-94

.

• Refer to Code No. P0203: No. 3 injector system

P.13A-99

.

• Refer to Code No. P0204: No. 4 injector system

P.13A-104

.

FUNCTION

• If a misfire occurs while the engine is running, the

engine speed changes for an instant.

• The engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-CVT-ECU

<CVT> checks for such changes in engine
speed.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

• Engine speed is 500 − 4,500 r/min.

• Engine coolant temperature is −10°C or higher.

• The intake manifold pressure is above 30 kPa

<M/T>.

• Barometric pressure is 76 kPa or higher <CVT>

• Volumetric efficiency is between 30 % and 55 %

<CVT>.

• Adaptive learning is complete for the vane which

generates a crankshaft position signal.

• While the engine is running, excluding gear shift-

ing, deceleration, sudden acceleration/decelera-
tion and A/C compressor switching.

• The throttle deviation is −0.06 V/10 ms to +0.06

V/10 ms.

Judgment Criteria (change in the angular accel-

eration of the crankshaft is used for misfire
detection).

• Misfire has occurred more frequently than the

limit during the last 200 revolutions (when the cat-
alyst temperature has been 950

°C or higher).

or

• Misfire has occurred 15 times or more in the last

1,000 revolutions (that has been equivalent to
approximately 1.5 times the emission standard).

PROBABLE CAUSES

• Ignition system related part(s) failed

• Failed crank angle sensor

• Incorrect air-fuel ratio

• Low compression pressure

• Failed engine coolant temperature sensor

• Skipping of timing belt teeth.

• EGR system and EGR valve failed <CVT>

• Failed engine-ECU <M/T> or engine-CVT-ECU

<CVT>

DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

STEP 1. M.U.T.-III data list

• Item 22: Crank angle sensor

OK: Keep the engine speed constant to make
the pulse width of output waveform con-
stant.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 2 .

NO :

Check crank angle sensor system (Refer to
Code No. P0

P.13A-134

).

STEP 2. M.U.T.-III data list

• Refer to Data List Reference Table

P.13A-331

.

a. Item 21: Engine coolant temperature sensor
b. Item 81: Long-term fuel compensation

c. Item 82: Short-term fuel compensation

Q: Are the check results normal?

YES :

Go to Step 3 .

NO :

Perform the diagnosis code classified check
procedure for the sensor that has shown an
abnormal data valve (Refer to Inspection
Chart for Diagnosis Code

P.13A-20

).

STEP 3. Visual check of ignition spark.

• Remove the spark plug and install it to the ignition

coil.

• Connect the ignition coil connector.

• Remove all injector connector.

• At the engine start, check each spark plug pro-

duces a spark.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 4 .

NO :

Check ignition circuit system (Refer to
Inspection Procedure 28

P.13A-320

).

YES :

Go to Step 7 .

NO :

Repair.

STEP 7. Check for intake of air from intake hose
and inlet manifold.

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 9 <CVT> , go to Step 10 <M/T> .

NO :

Repair.

STEP 9. Check EGR valve (stepper motor) itself.

• Check EGR valve (stepper motor) itself [Refer to

GROUP 17

− Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR)

System

− EGR Valve (Stepper Motor) Check

P.17-20

].

Q: Is the check result normal?

YES :

Go to Step 10 .

NO :

Replace EGR valve (stepper motor)
