Diagnostic boundary

A diagnostic trouble code reports that a monitored test failed. It does not prove one specific part is bad, and manufacturer logic can add vehicle-specific conditions.

Do not diagnose only after the engine is warm; startup misfires often disappear once heat expansion or enrichment changes the conditions.
