Code No. P0301: No. 1 cylinder mis-fire detection system

OPERATION

œ

Refer to P0201 injector circuit 

3

13A



.

FUNCTION

œ

If a misfire occurs while the engine is running, the 
engine speed changes for an instant.

œ

The engine-ECU checks for such changes in 
engine speed.

TROUBLE JUDGMENT

Check Conditions

œ

5 seconds later after the engine has started up.

œ

The engine speed is 500 

-

 4,500 r/min.

œ

The engine coolant temperature is 

-

10

•

C or 

higher.

œ

The intake air temperature is 

-

10

•

C or higher.

œ

The barometric pressure is 72 kPa or more.

œ

The volumetric efficiency is 30 

-

 60 %.

œ

The adaptive learning has been completed with 
the vane that generates the crankshaft position 
signals.

œ

During the engine operation except the shift 
change or low speed driving and rapid accelera-
tion and deceleration, also intermittent operation 
of air compressor (A/C: within the 3 seconds after 
changing to ON from OFF or to OFF from ON).

œ

The throttle deviation is within the range of 

-

0.059 V/10ms to 0.059 V/10ms.

Judgment Criterion

œ

The number of misfiring (in the catalyst tempera-
ture of above 950

•

C) is beyond the specified 

number (of 7.3 % on more than the two cylinders) 
with the engine speed of 200 r/min.

Or

œ

The number of misfiring (that is 1.5 times the 
emission standard limit) is beyond the specified 
number (of 2 % on more than the two cylinders) 
with the engine speed of 1,000 r/min.

PROBABLE CAUSE

œ

Ignition system related part(s) failed

œ

Low compression pressure

œ

Failed engine-ECU
