A P0302 code on your 2022 Volvo XC60 indicates that the engine control module has detected cylinder 2 misfires beyond acceptable parameters. This popular luxury crossover features Volvo's sophisticated four-cylinder powertrains.
2022 XC60 Powertrain Options
The 2022 Volvo XC60 offered multiple powertrain configurations: the B5 turbocharged with mild hybrid, the B6 with supercharger and turbocharger, and the Recharge plug-in hybrid. All use Volvo's 2.0L four-cylinder.
Four-Cylinder Engine Design
Volvo's modular four-cylinder platform delivers power through various forced induction combinations. With only four cylinders, each is critical to smooth operation. Cylinder 2 misfires create noticeable rough running.
Forced Induction Systems
The B5 uses turbocharging alone, while the B6 combines supercharger and turbocharger. Boost system integrity is essential for proper combustion. Check the entire charge air path for leaks.
Luxury Crossover Standards
The XC60 is Volvo's best-selling model, expected to provide refined operation. Misfires disrupt this experience and should be addressed promptly.
