DTC P0303 CYLINDER3 MISFIRE DETECTED





WIRING DIAGRAM

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
ECM measures the angle speed of the crankshaft based on the pulse signal from the CKP sensor and CMP sensor for each cylinder. If it detects a large change in the angle speed of the crankshaft, it concludes occurrence of a misfire. When the number of misfire is counted by the ECM beyond the DTC detecting condition, it determines the cylinder where the misfire occurred and outputs it as DTC.
