Monitor Description

The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC when the following conditions, which could cause emission deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).

• An excessive number of misfires (approximately 10 to 70 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.

The ECM flashes the MIL (immediate detection logic) and stores a DTC (2 trip detection logic) when the following conditions, which could cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter, is detected.

• At a normal engine speed, a sufficient amount of misfires to damage the catalyst occurring within 200 crankshaft revolutions is detected 3 times.
