misfiring in the engine.
Reduce the vehicle speed and have
the system checked immediately;
otherwise, serious engine misfiring
within a brief period can seriously
damage emission control compo‐

verter.

provide valuable information for service proc‐
esses and repair or for optimizing and develop‐
ing vehicle functions further.
