Single Cylinder Misfire

High severity

What it means

A persistent misfire is detected on one cylinder, but the engine controller cannot identify which cylinder is affected. Often seen on engines without per-cylinder feedback or when crank position correlation fails.

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

  • Weak ignition component on one cylinder

    high

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

  • Injector partially clogged

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Low compression on one cylinder

    low

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