Description
Misfire detection is accomplished by monitoring the crankshaft speed with the crankshaft speed fluctuation (CKF) sensor
which is attached to the crankshaft.
lf misiiring strong enough to damage the catalyst is detected, the MIL will blink during the time of its occurrence. and DTC
P0301, P0302, P0303 and/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 cycles. the MIL will come on, and DTc
P0301, P0302, P0303 and/or P0304 will be stored.
NOTE: lJ some of the DTcs listed below are stored at the same time as a misfire DTc, troubleshoot those DTcs first, then

Description
The CKP Sensor determines timing for fuel injection and ignition of each cylinder and also detects engine speed. The TDC
Sensor determines ignition timing at start-up {cranking) and when crank angle is abnormal. The CYP Sensor detects the
position of No. 't cylinder for sequential fuel injection to each cylinder. The CKP/TDC/CYP Sensor is built into the distribu-
ror.
