Condition
The presence of DME misfire faults P030X00 occurring during catalytic warm-up (or low engine temperatures),
under low relative load for the internal combustion engine (ICE), at low ICE rpm (2000 1/min ± 200). If there is a
customer complaint for the check engine light (CEL), then it is likely the Instrument Cluster Fault P162400 (’Engine
control indicator light switched on’) results from the misfire fault(s).
If these conditions are present, it is therefore often possible to reproduce such misfires during catalytic warming of
a cold engine as the drivetrain load supported by the electrical motor shifts to the ICE. A CEL requires two sequential
drive-cycles with entered misfire faults; nonetheless, even when the misfire fault sets for the first time, operation of
the electric motor (in E-Power or Hybrid Auto mode) suspends indefinitely for that drive cycle.

Technical Background
The misfire diagnostic is sensitive, yet accurate. In some instances, the engine operating conditions during catalytic
warming may trigger misfire faults. In these instances, if the above listed conditions in the environmental fault data
for the misfires exist, then replacing the fuel injectors will serve to remedy the misfiring.
NOTE: Misfire faults can arise for numerous reasons. If the above conditions in the environmental fault data do NOT
exist, then the misfire cause requires further root cause diagnosis and remedy.

Please inquire with the customer to learn the conditions under which the CEL appeared, and compare the
environmental data with the conditions listed above.
Perform a brief test drive starting with some available State of Charge in the HV-Battery to allow the ICE
to start and continue operation around 2000 rpm for approximately 90 seconds. During this drive, determine if there is a definite, perceivable misfire indicated by rough running and through observation of the
misfire counter in the tester.
a.
If the fault data is consistent with the conditions above, and no rough misfires occur, then proceed
to Step 3.
b.
If a rough running ICE accompanied by significant misfire counts is observable, then proceed to
Step 4.
Please replace all of the six fuel injectors.
Please continue to diagnose and remedy the cause for the misfire(s), which may or may not include the
injector(s).
