WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

The number below refers to the step number on the diagnostic table.

2: If the actual CKP variation values are not within the learned values, the misfire counters may increment.

DTC P0300

Step	Action	Values	Yes	No
1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information
2	IMPORTANT: You must perform the Crankshaft Position (CKP) System Variation Learn Procedure before proceeding with this diagnostic table. Refer to CKP System Variation Learn Procedure . Start the engine. Allow the engine to idle or operate within the conditions listed in the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Monitor all of the Misfire counters with the scan tool.

3	Are any other DTCs set?	-	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle in Vehicle DTC Information	Go to Step 4
4	Can any abnormal engine noise be heard?	-	Go to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical in Engine Mechanical - 4.8L, 5.3L and 6.0L	Go to Step 5
5	Does the scan tool indicate that the heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) bank 1 sensor 1 or HO2S bank 2 sensor 1 voltage parameters are below the specified value?	200 mV	Go to DTC P0131 or P0151	Go to Step 6
6	Does the scan tool indicate that the HO2S bank 1 sensor 1 or HO2S bank 2 sensor 1 voltage parameters are fixed above the specified value?	900 mV	Go to DTC P0132 or P0152	Go to Step 7
7	Inspect the following components: The vacuum hoses and seals for splits, restrictions, and improper connections-Refer to Emission Hose Routing Diagram . The throttle body and intake manifold for vacuum leaks The crankcase ventilation system for vacuum leaks-Refer to Crankcase Ventilation System Inspection/Diagnosis in Engine Mechanical - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L.

Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 20	Go to Step 8
8	IMPORTANT: An erratic or inconsistent spark is considered a no spark. Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug that corresponds to the Misfire Current counters that were incrementing. Refer to Spark Plug Wire Replacement . Install the J 26792 Spark Tester. Start the engine. Does the spark jump the tester gap?	-	Go to Step 10	Go to Step 9
9	Remove the spark plug wire for the affected cylinders. Refer to Spark Plug Wire Replacement . Inspect the spark plug wire. Refer to Spark Plug Wire Inspection . Measure the resistance of the spark plug wire with a DMM. Is the resistance within the specified value?	397-1,484 Ω	Go to Electronic Ignition (EI) System Diagnosis	Go to Step 19
10	Remove the spark plug from the cylinder that indicated a misfire. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement . Inspect the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Inspection . Does the spark plug appear to be OK?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 12
11	Exchange the suspected spark plug with another cylinder that is operating properly. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement . Operate the vehicle under the same conditions that the misfire occurred. Did the misfire move with the spark plug?	-	Go to Step 18	Go to Step 15
12	Is the spark plug oil or coolant fouled?	-	Go to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical in Engine Mechanical - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L	Go to Step 13
13	Is the spark plug gas fouled?	-	Go to Step 16	Go to Step 14
14	Did the spark plug show any signs of being cracked, worn, or improperly gapped?	-	Go to Step 17	Go to Step 15
15	Perform the fuel injector coil test. Refer to Fuel Injector Coil Test . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 20	Go to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical in Engine Mechanical - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L
16	Perform the fuel system diagnosis. Refer to Fuel System Diagnosis . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 20	Go to Symptoms - Engine Mechanical in Engine Mechanical - 4.8L, 5.3L, and 6.0L
17	Replace or gap the spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement . Did you complete the action?	-	Go to Step 20	-
18	Replace the faulty spark plug. Refer to Spark Plug Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 20	-
19	Replace the faulty spark plug wires. Refer to Spark Plug Wire Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 20	-
20	Was the customer concern the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) flashing?	-	Go to Step 21	Go to Step 22
21	Operate the vehicle at the specified value for 4 minutes. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC P0420 or P0430 as specified in the supporting text. Refer to DTC P0420 or P0430 . Does the DTC run and pass?	2,500 RPM	Go to Step 22	Go to DTC P0420 or P0430
