DTC P0300:00 (PCM, SKYACTIV-G, US) DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

Description Random misfire detected
Detection condition Determination conditions
  • Any one of the following conditions is met:
    • The misfire rate for every 200 rotations of the crankshaft exceeds the specified value (misfire which may damage catalytic converter).
      • The misfire rate for every 1, 000 rotations of the crankshaft exceeds the specified value (misfire going against emission regulations).
Preconditions
  • Battery voltage: 9-18 V(1)
  • Engine speed: 500-6, 700 rpm(1)
  • Engine coolant temperature: -10°C {14°F} or more or 21°C {70°F} or more(1) (standard differs depending on engine coolant temperature at engine start)
  • Not cranking
  • Not stalling
  • Fuel-cut control not implemented
  • Crankshaft installation tolerance learning completed
  • Engine condition is stabilized (not directly after gear change)
Malfunction determination period
  • 200 rotations of crankshaft (misfire which may damage catalytic converter)
  • 1, 000 rotations of crankshaft (misfire going against emission regulations)
Drive cycle
  • 2
Self test type
  • CMDTC self test
Sensor used
  • CKP sensor
  • MAF sensor
  • MAP sensor
Fail-safe function
  • Limits intake air amount
  • Implement fuel-cut control (if the catalytic converter may be damaged, perform fuel-cut on cylinder misfiring the most).
Vehicle status when DTCs are output
  • Misfiring which may damage catalytic converter (number of drive cycles: 1):
    • Check engine light flashes and pending code is recorded
  • Drive cycle directly after above drive cycle (number of drive cycles: 2):
    • Malfunction determined: check engine light is illuminated
      • Normal is determined: Pending code cleared
  • Rough idling, poor acceleration, stalling
Possible cause
  • Improper operation of ignition system
    • Spark plug malfunction
    • Ignition coil related wiring harness or connector malfunction
      • Ignition coil malfunction
  • Fuel injector malfunction
    • Improper operation of fuel injector
      • Fuel injector related wiring harness malfunction
  • Erratic signal to PCM
    • CKP sensor signal malfunction
    • ECT sensor No. 1 signal malfunction
    • MAF sensor signal malfunction
    • MAP sensor signal malfunction
    • IAT sensor No. 1 signal malfunction
    • APP sensor signal malfunction
    • TP sensor signal malfunction
    • VSS signal malfunction
    • Related connector or terminals malfunction
      • Related wiring harness malfunction
  • Poor drive belt assembly or adhesion of oil
  • Drive belt auto tensioner malfunction
  • Air leakage from intake air system (between intake manifold and cylinder head)
  • Engine malfunction
    • Insufficient engine compression
      • Engine coolant leakage to combustion chamber
  • PCM malfunction
