Possible causes
- Engine mechanical fault
- wiring
- ignition/fuel system
- injector
- ECT/MAF sensor
- ECM
MINI
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the Misfiring Cylinder 3 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
Mitsubishi
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the Misfiring Cylinder 3 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mitsubishi.
PSA
1 interpretationThe stored code identifies a fault of the Knock detector fault. Documented for the Bosch MED 17.4.x engine ECU (EP6 THP family) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models. PSA documentation does not characterise the failure mode further.
