Misfire Detected in One Cylinder
P0301 | The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0301: Cylinder 1 misfire detected.
[F03O2l 16"""untool indicates Diagnostic Trouble code (DTc) P0302: Cylinder2 misfire detected.
[FO3Ofl 16" ".un toot indicates Diagnostic Troubte Code (DTC) P0303; Cylinder 3 misfire detected.
I P0304 I ths..rr tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) PO3O4: Cylinder 4 misfire detected.
D€scription
lMisfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensor
which is attached to the crankshaft,
lf misfiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence, and DTC
PO3O1, P0302, PO3O3 or P0304 will be stored. Then, after the misfire has ceased, the MIL will come on.
lf misfiring that increases emissions is detected during two consecutive driving cyclss, the MIL will come on, and DTC
P0301, P0302, P0303 or P0304 will be stored.
NOTE: lf some of the DTCS listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTC, troubleshoot those DTCS first, then
recheck for the misfire DTC.

NOTE:. lf there is no treeze data of misfiring,just clear the DTC.. It there is no freeze data of misfiring,test drives under various conditions
- The MIL has been reoorted on.- DTC P0301. P0302. P0303, orP030il is indicated.
Check the fuel iniecto. lunction:Stan the engine, and listen for aclicking sound at the fuel injectorin the problem cylinder.
Check for an open or short in theharness between ECM/PCM andthe fuel iniector.
Repair open or short in the wir€.
Replace the fuel iniector.Sub3titute a known-goodECM/PCM and recheck. Itsymptom/indication goesaway, replace the original ECM/PCM.
Problem verification:1. After checking and recordingthe freeze data, do the ECM/PCM Reset Procedure.2. Exchange the spark plug fromthe problem cylinder with onefrom another cylinder,3. Connect the SCS service con'nector,4. Test-drive the vehicle severaltimes in the range ofthe free2edata.

Crankshaft Position/Top Dead Genter/Gylinder Position (CKP/TDC/CYP) Sensor
('96 - 98 Models, '!n - 00 D16Y5 engine with M/Tl
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0335: A malfunction in the Crankshaft position (CKp)
sensor circuit.
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0336: A range/performance problem in the CrankshaftPosition (CKP) sensor circuit.
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1361: Intermittent interruotion in the Too Dead Center(TDC) sensor circuit.
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTC) P1362: No signal in the Top Dead Center (TDC} sensorcircuit.
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1381: Intermittent interruption in the Cvlinder Position{CYP) sensor circuit.
The scan tool indicates Diagnostic Trouble Code {DTC) Pl382: No signal in the Cylinder Position (CYP} sensorcircuit.
Description
The CKP Sensor determines timing for fuel injection and ignition of each cylinder and also detects engine speed. The TDCSensor determines ignition timing at start-up (cranking) and when crank angle is abnormal. The Cyp Sensor detects theposition of No. 1 cylinder for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder. The CKP/TDC/CYP Sensor is built into the distribu-ror.
