CHECK TO BE PERFORMEDRESOLUTION IF THE CHECK IS NOT OK
1Connect the diagnostic equipment and check that none of the following errors is present: P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, P0304, P0305, P0306Continue as described by the diagnostic equipment
2

Start up the engine and let it warm up. Keep the engine at a speed of 2000 rpm and check that there is no misfire.

The test can be considered over

Move on to Step 3
3

Check that the errors have been detected at all the cylinders in one bank (P0301, P0302 and P0303 or P0304, P0305 and P0306 respectively).
