7. For 6 cylinder engine, the ECM intentionally does not set the specific misfiring cylinder DTCs at high engine speed. If misfires occur only in high engine speed areas, only DTC P0300 is set. In the event of DTC P0300 being present, perform the following operations: Clear the DTCs. Refer to «DTC CHECK / CLEAR [08/2013 - ]»(ref-649258-S07470507852014081400000) .
