A6E397001085W01

Diagnostic procedure

DTC P0300

Random misfire detection

DETECTION 

CONDITION

• PCM monitors CKP sensor input signal interval time. PCM calculates change of interval time for each 

cylinder. If change of interval time exceeds preprogrammed criteria, PCM detects misfire in the 
corresponding cylinder. While the engine is running, the PCM counts number of misfires that occurred at 
200 crankshaft revolutions and 1,000 crankshaft revolutions and calculates misfire ratio for each 
crankshaft revolution. If the ratio exceeds the preprogrammed criteria, PCM determines that a misfire, 
which can damage catalytic converter or affect emission performance, has occurred.

Diagnostic support note

• This is a continuous monitor (MISFIRE).

• MIL illuminates if 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.

• MIL flashes if PCM detects the misfire which can damage the catalytic converter during first drive cycle.   

Therefore, PENDING CODE is not available while MIL flashes.

• PENDING CODE is available if PCM detects the misfire which affects emission performance during first 

drive cycle.

• FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.

• DTC is stored in the PCM memory.

POSSIBLE 

CAUSE

• CKP sensor malfunction

• CMP sensor malfunction

• Ignition coil malfunction

• High-tension lead malfunction

• MAF sensor contamination

• Excess air suction in intake air system (between MAF sensor and intake manifold)

• Fuel pump malfunction

• Fuel pressure regulator malfunction

• Fuel line clogged

• Fuel filter clogged

• Fuel leakage in fuel line

• Fuel runout

• Poor quality fuel

• Purge control solenoid valve malfunction

• PCV valve malfunction

• EGR valve malfunction

• Vacuum hoses damages or improper connection

• Related connector and terminal malfunction

• Related wiring harness malfunction

• Insufficient compression

• Variable valve timing control system improper (L3-VE)
