ECM
Possible Related Diagnostic Trouble Codes
DTC P0300-P0304 or P0313
Circuit / System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses information from the crankshaft position sensor in order to determine when an engine misfire is occurring and uses information from the camshaft position sensor - intake and camshaft position sensor - exhaust sensors in order to determine which cylinder is misfiring. By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the ECM is able to detect individual misfire events. If the ECM detects a misfire rate sufficient to cause emission levels to exceed mandated standards, DTC P0300?00 sets. Under certain driving conditions, a misfire rate can be high enough to cause the 3-way catalytic converter to overheat, possibly damaging the converter. The malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) will flash ON and OFF when converter overheating, damaging conditions are present and DTC?P0300?00 is set. DTCs?P0301?00 - P0304?00 correspond to cylinders 1-4. If the ECM is able to determine that a specific cylinder is misfiring, the DTC for that cylinder will set. If the ECM detects a misfire and low fuel level, DTC?P0313?00 is set.
