A P0302 code on your 2022 Infiniti QX60 indicates that the engine control module has detected cylinder 2 misfires beyond acceptable parameters. The completely redesigned QX60 features a new powertrain requiring proper diagnostic attention.
2022 QX60 Powertrain
The redesigned 2022 Infiniti QX60 is powered by a 3.5L V6 engine producing 295 horsepower, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This naturally aspirated engine replaces the previous CVT-equipped model.
VQ-Series V6 Engine
Infiniti's 3.5L V6 is part of the proven VQ engine family with an excellent reliability record. The engine features direct fuel injection and dual variable valve timing for refined power delivery.
V6 Misfire Characteristics
With six cylinders, individual misfires are less pronounced than in four-cylinder engines. However, cylinder 2 misfires still create rough running and reduced power that affect the luxury driving experience.
Luxury Crossover Standards
The QX60 competes in the premium three-row segment. Smooth, refined operation is expected. Misfires disrupt this experience and should be addressed promptly.
Direct Injection Considerations
The V6's direct injection can contribute to carbon buildup on intake valves over time. This is more relevant at higher mileage but should be considered during diagnosis.
