Monitor Description

The ECM illuminates the MIL and stores a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause emission deterioration, is detected (2 trip detection logic).

• Within the first 1000 crankshaft revolutions after the engine starts, an excessive number of misfires (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
• An excessive number of misfires (approximately 20 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.

The ECM flashes the MIL and stores a DTC when either one of the following conditions, which could cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter, is detected (2 trip detection logic).

• At a high engine speed, a sufficient amount of misfires to damage the catalyst occurring within 200 crankshaft revolutions is detected once.
• At a normal engine speed, a sufficient amount of misfires to damage the catalyst occurring within 200 crankshaft revolutions is detected 3 times.
