System Description
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Suzuki XL-7. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
ECM measures the angle speed of the crankshaft based on the pulse signal from the CKP sensor and CMP sensor for each cylinder. If it detects a large change in the angle speed of the crankshaft, it concludes occurrence of a misfire. When the number of misfire is counted by the ECM beyond the DTC detecting condition, it determines the cylinder where the misfire occurred and outputs it as DTC.
