- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FREEZE FRAME DATA)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Using the Techstream, confirm the vehicle conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the DTC was stored (Refer to DTC CHECK / CLEAR [10/2014 - ]
).
Freeze Frame Data Items for DTC P219A, P219C, P219D, P219E and/or P219F:
- Vehicle Speed
- Engine Speed
- Calculate Load
- Short FT #1
- Long FT #1
- Cylinder #1 Misfire Count to Cylinder #4 Misfire Count
HINT:
When the sum of Short FT and Long FT is positive, the engine is running lean, and when the sum is negative, the engine is running rich.
Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Monitoring Method (P219A) Crank Position Sensor Monitoring Method (P219C, P219D, P219E and P219F) Note DTCs are output DTC is output (Only one DTC relating to a single cylinder is output) Malfunctioning of cylinders detected by Crank Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected DTCs are output DTCs are output (Multiple DTCs relating to multiple cylinders are output) Malfunctioning of cylinders except ones detected by Crank Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected.*1 DTCs are not output DTCs are output Malfunctioning of cylinders detected by Crank Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected. DTCs are output DTCs are not output Malfunctioning of the bank detected by Air Fuel Ratio Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected *1: When any air-fuel ratio imbalance is detected, the ECM will perform air-fuel ratio feedback control to make the air-fuel ratio close to the stoichiometric level. This may result in an air-fuel ratio imbalance of normal cylinders and DTCs may be stored.

- READ DTC OUTPUT
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) (Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [10/2014 - ] ).
- Drive the vehicle in accordance with the driving pattern described in Confirmation Driving Pattern.
HINT:
- If any misfire count ("Cylinder #1 Misfire Count" to "Cylinder #4 Misfire Count) increases while idling or driving the vehicle, proceed to step 6.
- Perform inspections while focusing on the cylinder whose misfire count has increased.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes.
- Read the DTCs.RESULT
Result Proceed to P219A is output A DTC P219A and P219C, P219D, P219E or P219F is output B DTC P219C, P219D, P219E and/or P219F is output

See step 4
- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (CONTROL THE INJECTION VOLUME)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the power switch on (IG).
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Put the engine in inspection mode (maintenance mode) (Refer to INSPECTION MODE PROCEDURE [10/2014 - ] ).
- Warm up the engine.
HINT:
The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume / Data List / Cylinder #1 to #4 Misfire Count.
HINT:
When the "Control the Injection Volume" Active Test is selected (injection volume is 0%), if a misfire count increases, proceed to step 6 (Check Intake System).
- Perform the Control the Injection Volume operation with the engine idling.
- Check the misfire counts ("Cylinder #1 Misfire Count" to "Cylinder #4 Misfire Count") while decreasing the injection volume in 5% increments.NOTE:
Do not decrease the injection volume by more than 20%.
Result
The cylinder whose misfire count has not increased can be assumed to be running rich. Therefore, perform inspections while focusing on that cylinder.
