DTC P0300-P0306: Engine Misfire Detected: Description
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix, 2003 Pontiac Bonneville, 2003 Chevrolet Monte Carlo, 2003 Chevrolet Impala, and 2003 Buick Regal. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses information from Ignition Control (IC) module and Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor in order to determine when an engine misfire is occurring. By monitoring variations in crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, PCM is able to detect individual misfire events. A misfire rate that is high enough can cause 3-way catalytic converter to overheat under certain conditions. Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will flash on and off when conditions for 3-way catalytic converter overheating are present. If the PCM detects a misfire rate sufficient to cause emission levels to exceed mandated standards, DTC P0300 will set.
