- READ VALUE USING TECHSTREAM (FREEZE FRAME DATA)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.
- Using the Techstream, confirm the vehicle conditions recorded in the freeze frame data which were present when the DTC was stored.
Refer to FREEZE FRAME DATA [08/2016 - ]
Freeze Frame Data Items for DTC P219A, P219C, P219D, P219E or P219F
- Vehicle Speed
- Engine Speed
- Calculate Load
- Accelerator Idle Position
- 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) Crankshaft 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 the Crankshaft 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 the Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected.*1 DTCs are not output DTCs are output Malfunctioning of cylinders detected by the Crankshaft Position Sensor Monitoring Method is primarily suspected. DTCs are output DTCs are not output Malfunctioning of the bank detected by the 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 ignition switch to ON.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- 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.
Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Trouble Codes

- PERFORM ACTIVE TEST USING TECHSTREAM (CONTROL THE INJECTION VOLUME)
- Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.
- Start the engine.
- Turn the Techstream on.
- Warm up the engine.
HINT:
The A/C switch and all accessory switches should be off and the shift lever should be in P or N.
- Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Active Test / Control the Injection Volume / Gas Misfire / Cylinder #1 to #4 Misfire Count.
Powertrain > Engine and ECT > Active Test
Active Test Display Control the Injection Volume Data List Display Cylinder #1 Misfire Count Cylinder #2 Misfire Count Cylinder #3 Misfire Count Cylinder #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 higher 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.
