what does it mean when my Genesis G70 shows a P0302 code

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts needed for the repair.
• Disconnect the battery to ensure safety while working on electrical components.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug socket
• Remove the engine cover if applicable.
• Disconnect the ignition coil connector from cylinder 2.
• Remove the ignition coil from cylinder 2 and inspect for damage. Replace if necessary.
• Remove the spark plug from cylinder 2 using the spark plug socket. Inspect for wear or fouling and replace if necessary.
• Torque the new spark plug to the manufacturer’s specification (typically around 13-15 ft-lbs).
• Reinstall the ignition coil and reconnect the connector.

3. Fuel Injector Inspection

• Tools Required: Fuel injector removal tool, torque wrench
• If the ignition components are in good condition, remove the fuel injector for cylinder 2.
• Inspect the injector for clogs or malfunction. Clean or replace the injector as needed.
• Reinstall the injector, ensuring it is properly seated and torqued to specifications.

4. Compression Test

• Tools Required: Compression tester
• Remove spark plugs from all cylinders for accurate testing.
• Insert the compression tester into cylinder 2 and crank the engine for a few seconds.
• Note the compression reading; it should be within the manufacturer's specified range. If it's low, further investigation of valve seals or piston rings may be necessary.

5. Reconnect the Battery

• Once all repairs are complete, reconnect the battery and ensure all connections are secure.
