DESCRIPTION

When the engine misfires, high concentrations of hydrocarbons (HC) enter the exhaust gas. Extremely high hydrocarbon concentration levels can cause an increase in exhaust emission levels. Extremely high concentrations of hydrocarbons can also cause increases in the three-way catalytic converter temperature, which may cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter. To prevent this increase in emissions and to limit the possibility of thermal damage, the ECM monitors the misfire count. When the temperature of the three-way catalytic converter reaches the point of thermal degradation, the ECM blinks the MIL. To monitor misfires, the ECM uses both the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. The camshaft position sensor is used to identify any misfiring cylinders and the crankshaft position sensor is used to measure variations in the crankshaft rotation speed. Misfires are counted when the crankshaft rotation speed variations exceed predetermined thresholds. If the misfire count exceeds the threshold levels, and could cause emission control system performance deterioration, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC.

Misfiring of a specific cylinder occurs and one of the following conditions is met (2 trip detection logic).
  1. A misfire occurs that may damage the three-way catalytic converter (MIL blinks when detect immediately).
  2. An emission deterioration misfire occurs (MIL illuminates).
When DTCs for misfiring cylinders are randomly stored, but DTC P0300 is not stored, it indicates that misfires have been detected in different cylinders at different times. DTC P0300 is only stored when several misfiring cylinders are detected at the same time.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

The ECM illuminates the MIL and sets a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause emission control system performance deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).
  1. Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions of the engine starting, an excessive misfiring rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
  2. An excessive misfiring rate (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.
The ECM flashes the MIL (immediate detection logic) and sets a DTC (2 trip detection logic) when either one of the following conditions, which could cause the three-way catalytic converter damage, is detected.
HINT:
If a catalyst damage misfire occurs, the monitor informs the driver by blinking the MIL (1 trip).
  1. In every 200 crankshaft revolutions at a high engine speed, the threshold misfiring percentage is recorded once.
  2. In every 200 crankshaft revolutions at a normal engine speed, the threshold misfiring percentage is recorded 3 times.

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

  1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
  2. Turn the ignition switch to ON.
  3. Turn the Techstream on.
  4. Record the DTC(s) and freeze frame data.
  5. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
  6. Using the Techstream, switch the ECM from normal mode to check mode (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000PDL0PIX.html).
  7. Read the misfire counts of each cylinder, Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count, with the engine idling. If any misfire count is displayed, skip the following confirmation driving pattern.
  8. Drive the vehicle so that the vehicle conditions displayed in Misfire RPM and Misfire Load of the Data List are the same as the freeze frame data. Perform this step several times.

    HINT:
    In order to store misfire DTCs, it is necessary to operate the vehicle for the period of time shown in the table below, confirm the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load in the Data List.

    Engine speed
    Duration
    Idling
    8.0 minutes or more
    1000
    4.5 minutes or more
    2000
    2.5 minutes or more
    3000
    1.5 minutes or more
  9. Check whether misfires have occurred by checking DTCs and freeze frame data.
    HINT:
    Do not turn the ignition switch off until the output DTC(s) and freeze frame data have been recorded. When the ECM returns to normal mode (default), the stored DTC(s), freeze frame data and other data are cleared.
  10. Record the DTC(s), freeze frame data and misfire counts.
  11. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
  12. Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P0102 (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000U5B0NJX_07.html).
Refer to Fuel Injector Circuit (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000000ZRM0FVX_02.html).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. Check the "Fuel Cut Elps Time" in the Data List or the Freeze Frame Data.
    If the elapsed time is over 0 seconds, then the engine speed is high (engine speed at which fuel cut occurs + 500 rpm).
    When this has happened, there is the possibility that the valve rocker arm will become loose and a fire could start, so check that the valve rocker arm is properly attached (COROLLA_ZRE142 RM000002XA8027X.html).
  2. By clearing the DTC, "Fuel Cut Elps Time" will be cleared.
  3. If any DTCs other than misfire DTCs are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
  4. Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.
  5. If the misfire does not recur when the vehicle is brought to the workshop, reproduce the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data.
  6. If the misfire still cannot be reproduced even though the conditions stored in the ECM as freeze frame data have been reproduced, one of the following factors is considered to be a possible cause of the problem:
    1. There was insufficient fuel in the tank.
    2. Improper fuel is used.
    3. The spark plugs have been contaminated.
    4. The problem requires further diagnosis.
  7. After finishing repairs, check the misfire counts of the cylinders Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count.
  8. Be sure to confirm that no misfiring cylinder DTCs are set again by conducting the confirmation driving pattern after finishing repairs.
  9. When one of Short FT #1 or Long FT #1 in the freeze frame data is outside the range of +/-15%, the air fuel ratio may be Rich (-15% or less) or Lean (+15% or more).
  10. When the Coolant Temp in the freeze frame data is less than 75°C (167°F), the misfire have occurred only while warming up the engine.
  11. An extremely imbalanced drive wheel which causes body vibration may cause misfire DTCs detected.
