DTC P0300:00: Notes

DTC P0300:00 Random misfire detected
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors CKP sensor input signal interval time. The PCM calculates the change of interval time for each cylinder. If the change of interval time exceeds the preprogrammed criteria, the PCM detects a misfire in the corresponding cylinder. While the engine is running, the PCM counts the number of misfires that occurred at 200 crankshaft revolutions  and 1,000 crankshaft revolutions  and calculates the misfire ratio for each crankshaft revolution. If the ratio exceeds the preprogrammed criteria, the PCM determines that a misfire, which can damage the catalytic converter or affect emission performance, has occurred.

    Diagnostic support note 

  • This is a continuous monitor (misfire).
  • The MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the misfire which affects emission performance in two consecutive drive cycles or in one drive cycle while the DTC for the same malfunction has been stored in the PCM.
  • The MIL flashes if the PCM detects a misfire which can damage the catalytic converter during the first drive cycle.
  • PENDING CODE is available if the PCM detects the misfire which affects emission performance during first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/Snapshot data is available.
  • The DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
