P1300 Fault Code

Acura – RANDOM MISFIRE

For Acura, P1300 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a random misfire in the engine. A random misfire means that the powertrain is unable to pinpoint which cylinder has misfired.

This can also indicate that there are multiple misfires occurring in different cylinders.

Misfires can be caused by any issue that can disrupt the ideal air-fuel mixture or the heat required to ignite this mixture in the combustion chamber. This can make a random misfire an issue that requires extensive problem-solving.

Audi – MISFIRE DETECTED

For Audi, P1300 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a random misfire in the engine.

A random misfire indicates that the powertrain is unable to pinpoint which cylinder has misfired. This can also mean that there are multiple misfires occurring.

Misfires can be caused by any issue that can disrupt the ideal air-fuel mixture or the heat required to ignite this mixture in the combustion chamber. This can mean that finding the true cause of the issue is very difficult, especially as the cylinder at fault is unknown.

Lexus – IGNITER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION (BANK 1 OR NO.1)

For both Toyota and Lexus, P1300 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an issue with the igniter circuit for cylinder 1 of the engine.

The igniter circuit is simply the circuit responsible for controlling the ignition coils for a petrol engine. This is done to provide the heat required to cause combustion.

Bank 1 refers to the side of the engine in which

A malfunction detected with this circuit can result in misfires from cylinder one. It will also likely cause decreased performance when running. The cause of this issue will likely be found within the circuit itself.

Mitsubishi – IGNITION TIMING ADJUSTMENT CIRCUIT

For Mitsubishi, P1300 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an issue with the ignition timing adjustment circuit.

This happens when the ignition timing adjustment circuit is not functioning as the PCM expects.

This system is responsible for making small adjustments to the timing of the ignition systems for each cylinder in the engine. This is done to optimize performance and efficiency.

This can result in misfires and rough driveability. It will also likely cause decreased performance of the vehicle.

Toyota – IGNITER CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION – NO.1

For both Toyota and Lexus, P1300 represents the same fault code. For more information and similar generic fault codes, see the Lexus description above.

Volkswagen – MISFIRE DETECTED, FUEL LEVEL TOO LOW

For Volkswagen, P1300 is logged when the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a random misfire in the engine. A random misfire indicates that the powertrain is unable to pinpoint which cylinder has misfired.

This can also mean that there are multiple misfires occurring.

With misfires, there can be a large number of causes. This can make it tough to figure out the true cause easily. Luckily, this code pinpoints the cause of the misfire to be low fuel.

This can mean it is a relatively simply fix for this code.
