how to fix the P0301 code on my Tesla Outback 6th Generation (2020-2024) engine?

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather tools and parts.
• Disconnect the negative battery terminal to prevent electrical shorts.
• Allow the engine to cool before starting work.

2. Inspect and Replace Spark Plug

• Tools Required: Spark plug socket, ratchet, torque wrench.
• Remove the ignition coil by unscrewing the securing bolts and disconnecting the electrical connector.
• Use the spark plug socket to remove the spark plug from cylinder 1.
• Inspect the spark plug for wear or damage; if worn, replace with a new spark plug.
• Install the new spark plug and torque to the manufacturer’s specifications (typically around 13-15 ft-lbs).

3. Check and Replace Ignition Coil (if needed)

• If the spark plug is fine, inspect the ignition coil for cracks or defects.
• Replace the ignition coil if damaged.
• Reinstall the ignition coil, ensuring it is seated properly and secure.

4. Clean or Replace Fuel Injector

• If the ignition system is functioning properly, test the fuel injector for proper operation.
• If the injector is clogged, use a fuel injector cleaner or replace the injector.
• Reinstall the fuel injector, ensuring proper alignment and securing clips or bolts.

5. Reassemble and Reconnect Battery

• Reconnect the negative battery terminal and ensure all connections are secure.
• Start the engine and let it idle to check for any leaks or irregularities.
