Our certified mobile mechanics can come to your home or office to perform the Check Engine Light diagnostic for $154.99 . Once we are able to diagnose the problem, you will be provided with an upfront quote for the recommended fix and receive $50.0 off as a credit towards the repair. All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty.

P2305 is a general OBD2 diagnostic trouble code (DTC) pointing to a fault within the ignition coil B secondary circuit. This code may be seen with misfire codes and other drivability codes.
The P2305 code means a fault is present in the secondary circuit of the ignition coil B. The ignition coils are used to ramp the electricity up from the battery to provide the spark that ignites the fuel.
When this malfunction is detected a Check Engine Light is enabled and will be visible on the dashboard. In addition to the Check Engine Light, a failsafe mode will be set and remain in effect until the code is repaired or normal operation is found.
Corroded, intermittent, or poor electrical connection
Ignition coil 2 that has failed
Open or short in the wiring harness for ignition coil 2
Spark plug that has failed
Install a scan tool into the DLC port and check for any codes stored in the ECU
Note all codes present and the associated freeze frame data
Clear all the codes for a fresh start
The vehicle will be taken on a test drive under similar circumstances to the freeze frame data.
Next, a visual inspection will be performed looking for damaged or worn spark components as well as checking the spark plug coil and wiring.
Then the scan tool will be used to monitor the operation of the the secondary ignition coil circuit.
Resistance for the coil will be checked.
Lastly, the spark plug will be inspected.
Mistakes can be made with any code if steps are not completed in order or are skipped entirely. All components must be tested and inspected before they are replaced to avoid replacing the wrong components. If parts are not tested before replacement they may not fix the fault.
The P2305 code will not prevent the vehicle from being driven in almost all circumstances. With any codes they should be repaired as soon as possible for normal vehicle operation.
An important step when diagnosing the P2305 code is the inspection of the spark plugs. If the spark plug electrode is to worn it increases the distance the spark must jump to be able to ignite the fuel. When this happens it increases the resistance for the whole circuit. Check the spark plug gap and compare it to the manufacturer's recommended gap.
