What to do if your Traverse has a misfire count?
Clear misfire count on all cylinders and check to see if the problem moved. The bank 1 cylinders are always the easiest to troubleshoot since you have access to them without removing the intake. Traverse doesn’t always throw codes immediately when misfiring.
Where is cylinder # 1 on a traverse?
If you’re standing at the front of the Traverse looking under the hood, the cylinder I changed the plug/coil on is the one in the back left (closest to the passenger seat). I was under the impression this is cylinder #1. And it must be… cuz changing the plug and coil for this cylinder fixed the problem.
How many cylinders does a traverse 3.6L have?
I’ve got a 2009 Traverse LT 3.6L. I have 6 cylinders, but only one is misfiring. But the motor is sideways… isn’t it?? The front of the engine is the part furthest away from the transmission. Also if you look at the engine closely you’ll realize that the cylinders on either side of the V are slightly offset from each other.
What should I do if my cylinder 1 misfire?
If a cylinder head is replaced for this condition, mark the faulty spark plug tube before sending the head in for warranty or core so GM Engineering or the re-manufacturing facility can identify it. Replaced the cylinder #1 spark plug and ignition coil. THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM!! The car runs just as smooth as the day we bought it. And no more CEL!

Is there a problem with the Chevy Traverse p0301?
P0301 is certainly a cause for concern, and can be a threat to the drivability the Chevy Traverse. The nice thing about it is that the P301 has tracked the problem to a particular cylinder, which makes diagnosing the problems simpler than P0300, which means that the cylinders are randomly misfiring.
