DTC P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected
DTC P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected
DTC P0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected
DTC P0306 Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred.
When the misfire rate equals or exceeds the count indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated, the
MIL lights up.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause catalyst overheating, the MIL blinks
when misfiring occurs.

HINT:
When the 2 or more codes for a misfiring cylinder are recorded repeatedly but no Random Misfire code is
recorded, it indicates that the misfires were detected and recorded at different times.
WIRING DIAGRAM
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(a) Connect the TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool.
(b) Record the DTC and the freeze frame data.
(c) Use the TOYOTA hand-held tester to set to the check mode (See page DI-3).
(d) Drive the vehicle several times with the engine speed, load and its surrounding range shown with the
ENGINE SPD, CALC LOAD in the freeze frame data or the MISFIRE RPM, MISFIRE LOAD in the data
list.
If you have no TOYOTA hand-held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated the
first time. Then repeat the simulation process again.
HINT:
In order to memorize DTC of misfire, it is necessary to drive around MISFIRE RPM, MISFIRE LOAD in the
data list for the following period of time.

(e) Check whether there is misfire or not by monitoring DTC and the freeze frame data. After that, record
them.
(f) Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait at least 5 seconds.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
If is case that DTC besides misfire is memorized simultaneously, first perform the troubleshooting for
them.
Read freeze frame data using TOYOTA hand-held tester or OBD II scan tool. Because freeze frame
data records the engine conditions when the malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful
for determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the
air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, etc. at the time of the malfunction.
When the vehicle is brought to the workshop and the misfire is not occurred, misfire can be confirmed
by reproducing the condition or freeze frame data. Also, after finishing the repair, confirm that there
is no misfire. (See the confirmation driving pattern)
When either of SHORT FT #1, LONG FT #1, SHORT FT #2 or LONG FT #2 in the freeze frame data
is besides the range of ±20 %, there is a possibility that the air-fuel ratio is inclining either to ºrichº (-20
% or less) or ºleanº (+20 % or more).
When COOLANT TEMP in the freeze frame data is less than 80°C (176°F), there is a possibility or
misfire only during warming up.
In the case that misfire cannot be reproduced, the reason may be because of the driving with lack or
fuel, the use of improper fuel, a stain of ignition plug, and etc.
1 Check wire harness, connector and vacuum hose in engine room.
CHECK:
(a) Check the connection conditions of wire harness and connector.
(b) Check the disconnection, piping and break of vacuum hose.
NG Repair or replace, then confirm that there is no
misfire (See the confirmation driving pattern).
