 Yes Go to the next step.
No Record FREEZE FRAME DATA and DIAGNOSTIC MONITORING TEST RESULTS on repair order, then go to the next step.
2 VERIFY RELATED REPAIR INFORMATION AVAILABILITY 
  • Check for related Service Bulletins and/or online repair information availability.
  • Is any related repair information available?

  • Is air leakage found?
 Yes Repair or replace suspected part, then go to Step 14.
No Go to the next step.
10 INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR HARNESS 
  • Remove intake air system parts.
  • Disconnect fuel injector connector on suspected cylinder.
  • Connect NOID LIGHT to fuel injector connector terminals.
  • Inspect light dimness during cranking.
  • Does noid light illuminate?
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Inspect fuel injector harnesses.
Repair or replace it if necessary, then go to Step 14.
11 INSPECT SEALING OF ENGINE COOLANT PASSAGE 
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Repair or replace the malfunctioning part according to inspection results.
Then go to the Step 14.
12 INSPECT ENGINE COMPRESSION 
 Yes Go to the next step.
No Overhaul the engine, then go to Step 14.
13 INSPECT FUEL INJECTOR OPERATION 
  • Remove fuel injector from suspected cylinder.
  • Swap injector with injector on other cylinder.
  • Start engine and run it at idle.
  • Is misfire DTC for cylinder which has a suspected fuel injector?
 Yes Replace injector, then go to the next step.
No Go to the next step.
14 VERIFY TROUBLESHOOTING OF MISFIRE DTC COMPLETED 
  • Make sure to reconnect all disconnected connectors.
  • Start engine.
  • Clear the DTC from the PCM memory using the WDS or equivalent.
