Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Diagnostic Aids
If problem can not be isolated during diagnostic procedures, monitor LT fuel trim value while operating vehicle under various load conditions. A condition that causes DTC P0300 may also result in DTC P0171 setting. Also, an extreme lean condition that may cause DTC P0171 to set may result in P0300 setting due to misfire at idle. If cause for DTC P0171 cannot be determined and DTC P0300 is also set, go to DTC P0300 .
