The 2024 Acura TLX continues with two engine options: the 2.0-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder for standard models and the 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 for Type S. A P0305 diagnostic trouble code indicating cylinder 5 misfire is only valid on V6-equipped Type S models.
P0305 Code Validity
P0305 is legitimate only on TLX Type S models with the 3.0L V6. Standard TLX models with 4-cylinder engines showing this code have a diagnostic anomaly since cylinder 5 doesn't exist in the turbo-4.
Type S Performance Considerations
The Type S's 355-horsepower twin-turbo V6 is designed for enthusiast driving. High-performance operation places significant demands on ignition components. Premium fuel and quality maintenance are essential.
Warranty Coverage
As a 2024 model, both component failures and software issues should be addressed under Acura warranty. Document symptoms for your dealer visit.
Standard TLX Anomalous Code
If your 2024 TLX has the 2.0L turbo-4 and shows P0305, this is an anomalous code requiring investigation of software or communication issues rather than cylinder 5 diagnosis.
