Cylinder 1 Pressure Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

Where it lives

For P0396, the description names the sensor as the part involved. The description of P0396 puts it on cylinder 1.

Check these first

• A failing cylinder 1 pressure sensor
• Damaged or corroded wiring at the cylinder 1 sensor
• A sensor 1 installed at the wrong depth or torque
• An ECM misreading the cylinder 1 signal
• Carbon or oil fouling on the sensor 1 tip

What to do next

1. Compare cylinder 1 pressure to the other cylinders on a scan tool
2. Inspect the cylinder 1 sensor connector and wiring
3. Check the sensor 1 installation depth and torque
4. Look for oil or carbon on the sensor 1 tip
5. Replace the cylinder 1 pressure sensor if the signal reads off
6. Clear the code and retest
