Fault handling I, catalyst damaging misfiring
 
  
 
 
  
   
    
     |  | Fault handling I, catalyst damaging misfiring | 
   
  
  
   
   
   
   
    If catalyst damaging misfiring occurs, the driver is warned immediately by the CHECK ENGINE lamp flashing at 1 Hz, irrespective of whether the lamp was already on or not. A diagnostic trouble code will be generated at the same time.
    
    
   
   
    For the CHECK ENGINE lamp to go out without any other measures being taken requires 3 consecutive driving cycles under similar operating conditions as when the fault first occurred without the catalyst damaging misfiring returning.
    
    
   
   
    For the diagnostic trouble code to be cleared requires a further 40 fault-free warming-up cycles.
