General Information: DTC Detecting Condition

DTC DETECTING CONDITION CHART

Item Detecting Condition Possible Cause
DTC Strategy
  • Calculation of engine roughness
  1. Faulty spark plugs or Ignition coil
  2. Incorrect valve timing
  3. Uneven compression
  4. Air leakage
  5. Improper Fuel pressure or dirty fuel.
  6. Blocked/Leaking injectors
  7. Leakage between cooling system and cylinder
Enable Conditions
  • Engine load ratio :14~64%
  • 500 < Engine speed (RPM) ≤6700
  • Mass air flow gradient/sec. :12~60%
  • Throttle gradient/sec. : 0.5~10.5%
  • Coolant temperature >20°C (68°F) if start temp. ≤-7°C (19°F)
  • No relevant failure
  • Fuel cut-off not active
  • 11V < Battery voltage ≤16V
Threshold Value
  • Misfire detected on 2 or more cylinders
Diagnostic Time
  • Continuous
Mil On Condition
  • Immediate (Misfire enough to damage the catalyst)
  • 2 Driving Cycles (Misfire breaking the emission regulation)
