This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
Your car's engine isn't running smoothly because some of the cylinders aren't working right. It's like when you try to ride a bike with a flat tire.
This code indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected misfires in multiple cylinders, which can affect engine performance and emissions.
The P2E58 code is triggered when the ECM detects that multiple cylinders in an alternative fuel engine are misfiring. Misfires occur when the air-fuel mixture in the cylinder doesn't ignite properly, leading to incomplete combustion.
• Rough engine idle
• Decreased fuel efficiency
• Check engine light on
• Faulty spark plugs or ignition coils
• Fuel delivery issues
• Vacuum leaks
ECM: Engine Control Module
Misfire: Failure of the air-fuel mixture to ignite properly in the engine cylinder
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code
• Inspect spark plugs and ignition coils
• Check for vacuum leaks
• Replace faulty spark plugs
• Repair or replace ignition coils
• Fix any vacuum leaks
• OBD-II scanner
• Spark plug socket
• Vacuum gauge
$100 - $500
Moderate
• Toyota Prius
• Chevrolet Volt
• Nissan Leaf
• Regular maintenance of ignition system
• Use quality fuel
• Check for vacuum leaks periodically
Engine Performance
• Avoid driving the vehicle until repaired
• Consult a professional mechanic
Check vehicle warranty for coverage on engine components
Misfire codes have been common in vehicles with alternative fuel systems due to differences in combustion characteristics.
High – Misfires can lead to engine damage if not addressed promptly.
Driving with a misfiring engine can be unsafe and may violate emissions regulations.
• Engine at operating temperature
• Vehicle stationary
The ignition components are located on top of the engine, near each cylinder.
Q: Can I drive with a P2E58 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code as it can cause further engine damage.
Q: How do I reset the check engine light?
A: After repairs, use an OBD-II scanner to clear the code and reset the light.

Fitment Required · Vehicle-fitment part
Relevant when the fault points toward ignition-coil performance or cylinder-specific ignition issues.
Some ignition faults involve coil performance or cylinder-specific coil problems.
Match the coil to your engine and confirm the failed component before ordering.
View options on AmazonThese parts may be related to this fault category, but a code by itself does not confirm exact fitment or guarantee that replacing a part will solve the problem.
