how to fix P0301 code in Tesla Outback 5th Generation (2015-2019)

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather required tools and parts.
• Disconnect the vehicle battery to ensure safety.
• Allow the engine to cool before starting work.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plug

• Remove the engine cover if necessary.
• Locate and disconnect the spark plug wire from cylinder 1.
• Use a socket wrench to remove the spark plug from cylinder 1.
• Inspect the spark plug for wear or fouling; replace if necessary.
• Install the new spark plug, ensuring it is torqued to the manufacturer's specifications (typically 13-16 lb-ft for most spark plugs).
• Reconnect the spark plug wire.

3. Inspect and Replace Ignition Coil

• Remove the ignition coil from cylinder 1 by unscrewing the retaining bolts.
• Inspect the ignition coil for cracks or damage; replace if necessary.
• Install the new ignition coil and secure it with the retaining bolts (torque to manufacturer specifications).

4. Check and Replace Fuel Injector

• Disconnect the fuel injector connector from cylinder 1.
• Remove the fuel injector from the fuel rail (ensure you relieve fuel pressure first).
• Inspect the injector for clogs or damage; replace if necessary.
• Install the new fuel injector and reconnect the connector.

5. Verify Compression

• If misfire persists, perform a compression test on cylinder 1.
• If compression is low, consider further engine diagnostics, such as valve or piston issues.
