If 1 cylinder is misfiring, misfiring current counter will have 195 misfires counted before adding to its history counter. If 2 cylinders are misfiring, misfiring current counter will add to their history counters after 97 misfires. The counter increments only after a misfire diagnostic trouble code (DTC) has been set.
