P0306
Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected
High severity
What it means
Misfires concentrated on cylinder 6. A cylinder-specific code points away from shared causes (fuel pressure, MAF) toward components dedicated to that cylinder — coil, spark plug, injector, compression. Verify by swapping the suspected coil/plug to a different cylinder; if the code follows, the part is bad.
Is it safe to drive?
No — stop driving
This code points to a problem that can cause damage or affect safety. Avoid driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.
