my Genesis G70 IG (2017-2023) has a P0302 code what does it mean

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather necessary tools and parts.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shock and avoid short circuits.

2. Inspect and Replace Ignition Components

• Tools Required: Socket set, torque wrench, spark plug gap tool.
• Remove the engine cover (if applicable).
• Unplug the ignition coil connector for cylinder 2.
• Remove the ignition coil using a socket (typically 10mm).
• Inspect the spark plug; if worn or fouled, replace it with a new one, ensuring the gap is correct (refer to manufacturer specifications).
• Reinstall the ignition coil and connect the wiring harness.

3. Check Fuel Injector

• Tools Required: Fuel injector cleaner, multimeter (for electrical testing).
• Disconnect the fuel injector connector for cylinder 2.
• Conduct a resistance test using a multimeter; compare with manufacturer specifications.
• If the injector is faulty, remove it using an appropriate tool and replace it with a new injector.
• Reconnect the fuel injector and wiring.

4. Conduct Compression Test

• Tools Required: Compression gauge.
• Remove the spark plug from cylinder 2.
• Insert the compression gauge into the spark plug hole and crank the engine.
• Record the compression reading and compare it to manufacturer specifications.
• If compression is low, further investigation into engine internals may be necessary.

5. Check for Vacuum Leaks

• Visually inspect all vacuum hoses connected to the intake manifold for cracks or disconnections.
• Use a smoke machine or spray soapy water around the intake area while the engine runs to identify leaks.
• Repair or replace any damaged hoses.
