Knocking on cold start

Can you go to MODE 6 data and look at the misfire monitor counter stored? It keeps a record of misfires there. Let's see if by you moving the coil over if the misfiring is following it.

Thank you for the update. Will check in the morning for your results.

The EGR doesn't do anything on start up or idle. If it were stuck open it would cause a hard start and really rough idling to the point of wanting to stall out. I did not hear any of those conditions in your videos. Can you read the ECM calibration number and post it on here? I want to see if there is an updated calibration. I can only check for USA/Canada market. I am not sure where you are and if this will help us, but it is worth a try.

Try to go into ECU information.

It starts with 376. I posted the old and new calibration numbers for the year models. You may need to go on the generic side to read it. Also make sure it is the ECM module. That looks like maybe the hybrid module your looking at?

Introduction

Some 2013 †2016 model year CT 200h vehicles may exhibit a vibration due to a rough idle and/or tapping noise from the HV transaxle after cold soak. The check engine light may also illuminate with Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs) P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, or P0304 (Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected). The Engine Control Module/ECM (SAE Term: Powertrain Control Module/PCM) logic has been modified to reduce the possibility of this condition occurring.

This would be the only other solution left to have completed and that is to have the Engine Control Module reflashed with the latest calibration if it is not current.

Please let us know if your vehicle needed the update and if it helped.

That seems like where we are heading. Some of the newer vehicles have over the air software updates to avoid having the customer take it into the dealership.
