Monitor Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Toyota Highlander, 2015 Toyota Highlander, and 2014 Toyota Highlander. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
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 10 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
- An excessive number of misfires (approximately 10 to 50 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.
The ECM flashes the MIL (immediately detection logic) and stores a DTC (2 trip detection logic) when either one of the following conditions, which could cause damage to the three-way catalytic converter, is detected.
- 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.
Misfire Monitor for Mexico Models:
- 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 1000 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs once.
- An excessive number of misfires (approximately 500 misfires per 1000 crankshaft revolutions) occurs a total of 4 times.
The ECM flashes the MIL (immediately detection logic) and stores a DTC (2 trip detection logic) when the following condition, which could cause the three-way catalytic converter damage, is detected (2 trip detection logic).
- A catalyst-damaging misfire, which is monitored every 200 crankshaft revolutions, occurs 3 times.
