    What Does P0312 Mean?

    When the engine control module (PCM) detects that cylinder 12 is not sufficiently contributing to keeping the engine running properly, it will set code P0312.

    What are the common causes of P0312 ?

    Ignition system component failure is the most common cause when this code is stored in the PCM. Ignition system components, including spark plugs, plug wires and boots, and ignition coils are most often the culprit but beware of other causes, as well. These include lean conditions caused by insufficient fuel pressure, excessive engine vacuum leak/s, EGR system malfunction, clogged catalytic converter/s, or faulty fuel injectors.

    How do you troubleshoot P0312 ?

    The following repairs are usually sufficient:
    • Replacing the faulty spark plug
    • Replacing damaged spark plug wires
    • Repairing damaged engine components
    • Repairing or replacing damaged head gaskets
    • Replacing burned valves
    The worst case scenario would be having to replace the engine because cylinder damage had become so extensive.
