DTC Descriptor
DTC P1380
- Misfire Detected and Rough Road Data Not Available

Circuit/System Description

Correct engine misfire detection is dependent on whether or not the vehicle is experiencing a rough road condition. A rough road condition causes unexpected crankshaft fluctuations. In order to detect a rough road condition, the electronic brake control module (EBCM) communicates a wheel speed signal over the serial data circuit to the engine control module (ECM). The wheel speed sensor information allows the ECM to distinguish if the crankshaft speed variations are caused by a rough road condition or are caused by a true misfire.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The engine is operating.
* DTC P1380 runs continuously once the above condition is met for greater than 5 seconds.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

* The ECM detects an engine misfire while the rough road signal is unavailable.
* The condition exists for greater than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 30 seconds.
