Q: What does code P1202 mean?

Cylinder 2 Misfire. P1202 on a Honda means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a misfire specifically on cylinder 2, based on crankshaft speed fluctuations that fall outside the expected pattern. The PCM monitors the crankshaft position sensor signal and flags this code when cylinder 2 fails to contribute its share of power during the combustion cycle.
