P03DB

Symptoms

• Check Engine light on
• Lack of data for cylinder 8 when diagnosing with a scanner
• Slight engine vibration in certain modes
• Slight reduction in power
• Possible deterioration in fuel consumption

Causes

• Damage to the wiring or connector of the cylinder 8 sensor (thermal, mechanical)
• Internal pressure sensor failure
• Open or short circuit in the rear engine wiring harness
• Corrosion of connector contacts
• ECU malfunction (extremely rare)

How to Fix

1. Check the cylinder 8 sensor connector - it is usually difficult to access, you may need to remove components to gain access
2. Inspect the wiring harness at the rear of the engine for signs of overheating or damage from hot exhaust parts.
3. Perform electrical tests on the circuit (power, ground, signal)
4. Make sure there are no codes for cylinder 7 - if both are present, there is likely general damage to the harness.
5. Replace the sensor or restore the damaged wiring section
6. Reset codes and take a test drive
