The Desired Idle Speed is  an ECM internal parameter 
which indicates the ECM requested idle. If the engine is 
not running, this number is not valid.
SHORT FT B1 (SHORT TERM FUEL TRIM, %)
Short term fuel trim valu e represents short term 
corrections to the air/fuel  mixture computation. A value 
of 0 indicates no correction, a value greater than 0 
means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 
implies an enleanment correction. LONG FT B1 (LONG TERM FUEL TRIM, %)

of 0 indicates no correction, a value greater than 0 
means an enrichment correction, and a value less than 0 
implies an enleanment correction.

Fuel Trim. This value indica
tes how much correction is 
necessary to keep the air/fuel mixture stoichiometrical.

It represents total mass of air entering intake manifold 
which is measured by mass air flow sensor.
CALC LOAD (CALCULATED LOAD VALUE, %)
Engine load displayed as a percentage of maximum 
possible load. Value is calculated mathematically using 
the formula: actual (current) intake air volume  ÷ 
maximum possible intake air volume  × 100%
THROTTLE POS (ABSOLUTE THROTTLE POSITION, 
%)
When throttle position sensor is  at fully closed position, 
throttle opening is indicated as 0 – 5% and 90 – 100% 
full open position.

V)
It indicates output voltage of HO2S-1 installed on 
exhaust manifold (pre-catalyst).

DTC P0300 / P0301 / P0302 / P0303 / P0304: Random / Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected / Cylinder 1 
/ Cylinder 2 / Cylinder 3 / Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
S7RS0B1104039
System Description
ECM measures the angle of the crankshaft based on the pulse signal from the CKP sensor and CMP sensor for each 
cylinder. If it detects a large change in the angle speed of  the crankshaft, it concludes occurrence of a misfire. When 
the number of misfire is counted by ECM beyond the DTC de tecting condition, it determines the cylinder where the 
misfire occurred and output it as DTC.
