Circuit/System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
For an overview of the component/system, refer to: Fuel System Description
A misfiring cylinder causes slight variations in the rotational speed of the crankshaft. The engine control module (ECM) is able to detect these variations by closely monitoring the crankshaft position sensor signal. The signals of the camshaft position sensors are used to determine which cylinder is misfiring. If the ECM detects a misfire rate sufficient to cause emission levels to exceed mandated standards, a misfire DTC will set.
