P0313

Misfire Detected with Low Fuel

High severity

What it means

Misfires are detected while the fuel level is low. The ECM disables further misfire reporting under this condition because intermittent fuel starvation can cause false positives in catalyst-damaging logic.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code points to a problem that can cause damage or affect safety. Avoid driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

Most likely causes

  • Fuel level very low

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Weak fuel pump or pickup

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Faulty fuel level sensor

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
