2010 Honda Odyssey
- Code Scan: Engine – Permanent Codes P0302
- Misfire No.2 Cylinder P0430
- Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold B2 Confirm #2 ignition misfire. Inspect #2 coil, found normal output and passes the arc test. Inspect #2 spark plug, found combustion chamber-side insulator broken. This is causing intermittent spark issue and misfire. Insulator breakage is due to oil consumption problem outlined in TSB for piston ring problem on cylinders 1-4 which are the VCM cylinders. There is a warranty extension for 8 years, unlimited mileage for piston ring issues, 1-4 misfires, and oil consumption. Vehicle no longer in this warranty period. Can try doing a de-carb procedure where pistons are soaked overnight with cleaner then with ATF before replacing spark plugs. There is also a catalyst efficiency code for bank 2 (front bank). Sounds like this has been an ongoing issue since we first started servicing this vehicle. Needs B2 cat, but B1 was previously noted as weak on scan data, but not setting code.
- No problem with oil pressure light. Light is on with key on, engine off, when there is no oil pressure. Light goes out with engine started.
- SPARK PLUGS – Remove & Replace – All
- With spark plugs removed, add top-end engine cleaner to all cylinders. Rotate crank by hand to allow cleaner to all parts of cylinder wall and to move rings. Soak overnight. In AM extract remaining cleaner and add ATF to all cylinders and rotate again. Allow a couple more hours to soak, then extract ATF. Install plugs and run engine to expel the remnant cleaner and oil.

2014 Kia Sorento

- DBC Brake Lamp Relay Error C1211
- Wheel Speed Sensor Rear – Right Hand Invalid / No Signal C1209
- Wheel Speed Sensor Rear – Right Hand Open / Short ABS/Trac lights on. Tire light also on, due to ABS faults. Road test for customer driveability complaint. No problems felt with vehicle/engine performance at this time. The ABS fault may have been making the traction control system activate, thinking there was front tire slippage, and limiting engine power. The ABS circuit fault is no constant, and not intermittent, so traction system is disabled as soon as engine is started. RR sensor never shows any speed on scan data. Found the RR speed sensor is shorted internally. RR measures about 900 ohms, where as the LR sensor that works normally reads over 2M ohms. Sensor is part of the wheel hub.
