OK: Go to next step 

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Gas Misfire / Misfire RPM and Misfire Load.
5. Read and note the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load values.

   HINT: 

   The Misfire RPM and Misfire Load values indicate the vehicle conditions under which the misfire occurred.

NEXT: Go to next step 

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
2. Turn the power switch on (IG).
3. Turn the Techstream on.
4. Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode). Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [08/2013 - ] .
5. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Data List / Gas Misfire / Cylinder #1 Misfire Count, Cylinder #2 Misfire Count, Cylinder #3 Misfire Count and Cylinder #4 Misfire Count.
6. Start the engine and allow the engine to idle.
7. Read each value for Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count displayed on the Techstream. If no misfire counts occur in any cylinders, perform procedure [A] and [B] and then check the misfire counts again.
8. Drive the vehicle with the Misfire RPM and Misfire Load noted in the "Read Value Using Techstream (Misfire RPM and Misfire Load)" procedures above [A].
9. Read the Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count or DTCs displayed on the Techstream [B].
   RESULT
   
   

   Result	Proceed to
   Most misfires occur in only 1 or 2 cylinders	A
   3 cylinders or more have equal misfire counts	B

   HINT: 

   • If it is difficult to reproduce misfires for each cylinder, check the Data List item called Misfire Margin. Try to find vehicle driving conditions that lower the Misfire Margin value. Values above 30% are considered normal.
   • If the freeze frame data record of the engine coolant temperature is below 75°C (167°F), the misfire may be detected only when the engine is cold.
