Cylinder 5 Pressure Too Low

Check these first

• A leaking compression ring on cylinder 5
• A burnt or poorly sealing exhaust valve on cylinder 5
• A failed cylinder 5 pressure sensor reading low
• An intake or exhaust leak at cylinder 5
• Tight valve lash on cylinder 5

What to do next

1. Run a compression test on cylinder 5 and compare to the rest
2. Run a cylinder leakdown test on cylinder 5
3. Compare the cylinder 5 pressure sensor to a known good one
4. Check valve lash on cylinder 5
5. Repair the valve or ring fault if the mechanical test confirms it
6. Clear the code and retest
