STEP	INSPECTION	RESULTS	ACTION
1	PURPOSE: VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY Verify related Service Bulletins and/or on-line repair information availability. Is any related repair information available?	Yes	Perform repair or diagnosis according to the available repair information. If the vehicle is not repaired, go to the next step.
1		No	Go to the next step.
2	PURPOSE: IDENTIFY TRIGGER DTC FOR FREEZE FRAME DATA (MODE 2) Is the DTC P0300:00 on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)?	Yes	Go to the next step.
2		No	Go to the TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE for DTC on FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2). (See DTC TABLE [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
3	PURPOSE: RECORD VEHICLE STATUS AT TIME OF DTC DETECTION TO UTILIZE WITH REPEATABILITY VERIFICATION Has the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data been recorded?	Yes	Go to the next step.
3		No	Record the FREEZE FRAME DATA (Mode 2)/snapshot data on the repair order, then go to the next step. NOTE: Recording can be facilitated using the screen capture function of the PC.
4	PURPOSE: VERIFY RELATED PENDING CODE AND/OR DTC Switch the ignition off, then ON (engine off). Perform the Pending Trouble Code Access Procedure and DTC Reading Procedure.

(See DTC TABLE [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .)
4		No	Go to the next step.
5	PURPOSE: VERIFY IF THERE IS PID ITEM CAUSING DRASTIC CHANGES OF ACCELERATION FLUCTUATION BY INPUT SIGNAL TO PCM Start the engine. Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS: (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) APP1 APP2 ECT IAT MAF MAP RPM TP_REL VSS Is there a PID item affected by acceleration fluctuation?	Yes	Inspect the suspected sensor and related wiring harness. If there is any malfunction: Repair or replace the malfunctioning part. Go to the TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE to perform the procedure from Step 10. If there is no malfunction: Go to the next step.
5		No	Go to the next step.
6	PURPOSE: RECORD NUMBER OF CURRENT MISFIRES FOR USE WITH MISFIRE INSPECTION Display the misfire rate and record the number of misfires. Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) (See PCM INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) MF_CAT1 MF_CAT_2 MF_CAT_3 MF_CAT_4 MF_EMI1 MF_EMI_2 MF_EMI_3 MF_EMI_4	-	Go to the next step.
7	PURPOSE: VERIFY IF MISFIRE CAUSE IS BAD SPARK PLUGS Switch the spark plugs on a cylinder that is misfiring and a cylinder that is not misfiring. (See SPARK PLUG REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) Start the engine. Verify all accessory loads (A/C, headlights, blower fan, rear window defroster) are off. Under no-load conditions (P or N position (ATX)/neutral (MTX), increase the engine speed to 3, 000 rpm. Display the misfire rate and record the number of misfires. Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) (See PCM INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) MF_CAT1 MF_CAT_2 MF_CAT_3 MF_CAT_4 MF_EMI1 MF_EMI_2 MF_EMI_3 MF_EMI_4 Is there a change from the recorded number of misfires?	Yes	Go to the TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE to perform the procedure from Step 1.
7		No	Go to the next step.
8	PURPOSE: VERIFY IF MISFIRE CAUSE IS BAD IGNITION COIL Switch the ignition coils on a cylinder that is misfiring and a cylinder that is not misfiring. (See IGNITION COIL/ION SENSOR REMOVAL/INSTALLATION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) Start the engine. Verify all accessory loads (A/C, headlights, blower fan, rear window defroster) are off. Under no-load conditions (P or N position (ATX)/neutral (MTX), increase the engine speed to 3, 000 rpm. Display the misfire rate and record the number of misfires. Access the following PIDs using the M-MDS (See ON-BOARD DIAGNOSTIC TEST [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) (See PCM INSPECTION [SKYACTIV-G 2.0, SKYACTIV-G 2.5] .) MF_CAT1 MF_CAT_2 MF_CAT_3 MF_CAT_4 MF_EMI1 MF_EMI_2 MF_EMI_3 MF_EMI_4 Is there a change from the recorded number of misfires?	Yes	Go to the TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE to perform the procedure from Step 2.
8		No	Go to the TROUBLESHOOTING PROCEDURE to perform the procedure from Step 3.
