P0302 on a Honda CR-V
Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected
K24 and 1.5T CR-V.
What P0302 usually means on a CR-V
P0302 flags a misfire specific to cylinder 2 on the CR-V. As with cylinder 1, swapping its coil to an adjacent cylinder quickly confirms whether the coil is at fault. On the 1.5-liter turbo, weigh fuel dilution as a contributor, because diluted oil can surface as an isolated cylinder before becoming a random misfire. Address it promptly to protect the catalytic converter.
Most likely causes on this model
- Failed coil on cylinder 2
The fault follows the coil if you swap it to another cylinder.
- Worn or fouled plug
A single overdue plug commonly sets a lone-cylinder code.
- Fuel dilution (1.5T)
Thinned oil on the L15B can weaken one cylinder first.
- Injector fault on cylinder 2
A clogged or leaking injector isolates the misfire.
What it costs on a CR-V
Like cylinder 1, No. 2 is accessible on top of the engine, making a coil replacement fast and low-cost. A coil/plug swap test keeps diagnosis cheap. Compression-related causes are the pricier exception.
