how to resolve the P0301 code for cylinder 1 misfire in Tesla Outback 5th Generation (2015-2019)?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts required for repair.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shocks.
• Allow the engine to cool before working on it.

2. Replace Spark Plug

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the engine cover if necessary.
  2. Locate the spark plug in cylinder 1.
  3. Use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plug.
  4. Inspect the old spark plug for signs of fouling or wear.
  5. Apply anti-seize lubricant on the threads of the new spark plug.
  6. Install the new spark plug and torque it to the manufacturer's specification (usually around 13-15 lb-ft).

3. Replace Ignition Coil

• Sub-steps:
  1. Disconnect the electrical connector from the ignition coil.
  2. Remove the bolts securing the ignition coil.
  3. Lift out the old ignition coil.
  4. Install the new ignition coil and secure it with bolts.
  5. Reconnect the electrical connector.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injector

• Sub-steps:
  1. Disconnect the fuel injector connector and fuel line (ensure fuel system is depressurized).
  2. Remove the fuel injector from the rail.
  3. Inspect the injector for clogs; clean with an appropriate injector cleaner or replace if necessary.
  4. Reinstall the fuel injector and reconnect the fuel line and electrical connector.

5. Verify Compression (if necessary)

• Sub-steps:
  1. Remove the spark plug from cylinder 1.
  2. Insert a compression gauge into the spark plug hole.
  3. Crank the engine and observe the compression reading.
  4. Compare the reading with the manufacturer’s specifications (usually between 140-200 psi).
  5. If compression is low, further investigation into the engine internals may be needed.
