Official SAE DefinitionRatés d'allumage aléatoires ou multiples détectés
Vehicle Subsystempowertrain
Driving SeverityHIGH

Observable Symptoms

  • Flashing or steady Check Engine Light
  • Engine vibration and loss of power
  • Risk of rapid catalytic converter overheating

Most Probable Root Causes

  • Worn spark plugs or failing ignition coils
  • Vacuum leak or EGR valve stuck open
  • Low fuel pressure or contaminated fuel
  • Timing chain/belt stretch or low compression

Step-by-Step Diagnostic Procedure

  1. Do not drive under heavy load if MIL is flashing
  2. Check Mode $06 misfire counters per cylinder
  3. Inspect spark plugs, coil boots, fuel pressure, and intake vacuum integrity
