4. Diagnostic Steps:
Note
–
If the control system stores DTC other than misfire, diagnose these DTC first and eliminate the faults.
–
If the vehicle does not have a misfire when sent to a service station, road test the vehicle, so that the misfire will
occur again. Use scan tool to record ECM data when misfire is occurring, in order to facilitate analyzing the cause
of the fault.
–
If after a long period road test, ECM does not store any misfire associated DTC codes, then the fault may be due
to the following reasons:
•
Overfill fuel tank and fuel enters into the evaporative emission control system, so that the mixture is too rich and
causes misfire.
•
Use improper fuel caused poor combustion and misfire.
•
Contaminated spark plug causes the ignition failure and misfire.
•
Carry out basic checks at fault locations identified by DTC codes.
–
Road test the vehicle after repair to confirm no DTC is stored.
