Circuit Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 GMC Sierra and 2003 Chevrolet Silverado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) uses information from the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor and the Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor in order to determine when an engine misfire is occurring. By monitoring variations in the crankshaft rotation speed for each cylinder, the PCM is able to detect misfire events.
