Diagnostic Aids

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Saturn Vue. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If a fuel injector DTC is set, diagnose that DTC first.

ECM will set a DTC P0300 first, even if a specific cylinder is misfiring. If a specific cylinder misfires for a certain length of time, a specific cylinder misfire will then set.

If vehicle has had a prior replacement of a ECM or crankshaft sensor, crankshaft must be relearned. Perform CRANKSHAFT POSITION VARIATION LEARN PROCEDURE  under PROGRAMMING.

Torque converter may be momentarily disabled to determine if misfire was due to a rough road (A/T).

Use scan tool to monitor MISFIRE CURRENT CYLS #1-4 while simulating different engine load conditions in the stall. Scan tool active misfire counter should pick up intermittent misfire conditions.
