Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) Detecting Criteria
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
4. DIAGNOSTIC METHOD
When a misfire occurs, the engine speed will decrease and the crankshaft position speed will change. Cal-
culate the interval difference value (diagnostic value) from crankshaft position speed by the following formu-
la, and judge whether a misfire is occurring or not comparing the calculated result with judgement value.
Count the number of misfires, if the misfire ratio is higher during 1000 revs. or 200 revs., judge corresponding
cylinders as NG.
As shown in the following figure, pick a cylinder as the standard and name it omg 0. And the former crank-
shaft position speed is named omg 1, the second former crankshaft position speed is named omg 2, the third
is named omg 3, etc.

judgement required by the law) (Com-
pare number of misfire with judgement)
