A P0302 code on your 2024 Ford F-150 indicates the powertrain control module (PCM) detected misfires in cylinder 2. With multiple engine options available—from the 3.5L EcoBoost to the 5.0L V8—diagnosis varies by powertrain.
F-150 Engine Options
The 2024 F-150 offers several engines: 3.5L EcoBoost V6, 2.7L EcoBoost V6, 5.0L Coyote V8, and PowerBoost hybrid. Cylinder 2 location and misfire causes vary by engine. Identify your specific engine before beginning diagnosis.
EcoBoost Considerations
On turbocharged EcoBoost engines, misfires can result from boost-related issues in addition to traditional causes. Carbon buildup on direct injection valves, turbo issues affecting boost pressure, and wastegate problems can all cause misfires.
5.0L V8 Diagnosis
The naturally aspirated 5.0L Coyote V8 typically experiences misfires from traditional causes—ignition coil failure, spark plug issues, or fuel injector problems. Cylinder 2 is on the passenger bank.
Warranty Coverage
As a 2024 model, your F-150 is under Ford's warranty. Engine misfire should be covered under the 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper or 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain warranty. Take to Ford dealer for diagnosis.
