Symptoms of P0392
- Rough idle, shaking, or a stumble under acceleration.
- A flashing check-engine light during an active misfire.
- Power loss and higher fuel consumption.
Common causes of P0392
- Worn spark plugs, ignition coils, or plug wires.
- Fuel-delivery problems — injectors, pressure, or a lean/rich mixture.
- Vacuum leaks, low compression, or a mechanical fault in that cylinder.
Useful checks before replacing parts
- Check sensor supply, ground, signal voltage, waveform amplitude, connector condition, freeze-frame RPM, and related low-input sensor codes.
- Inspect for short-to-ground faults, open supply circuits, oil intrusion, damaged wiring, loose terminals, and cam target damage.
- Compare readings at the sensor and controller connector to determine whether the low signal is sensor, harness, or module related.
