Circuit Description

Misfire is detected using Camshaft Position (CMP) and Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensors. When PCM senses CKP deceleration not associated with normal engine speed reduction, CMP is used to determine misfiring cylinder. PCM determines misfires on each cylinder and evaluates a random misfire and set DTC.
