When your 2024 Nissan Titan displays the P0305 code, the engine control module has detected repeated misfires in cylinder 5. The 2024 Titan continues with the 5.6L Endurance V8 producing 400 horsepower. With eight cylinders numbered 1-8, P0305 is a legitimate diagnostic code.
2024 Titan Powertrain
The 2024 Titan uses Nissan's proven VK56VD 5.6L direct-injection V8 paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. This engine features Variable Valve Event and Lift (VVEL) technology for improved efficiency and power. All Titans use this V8 configuration.
Cylinder 5 Location
On the Titan's V8, cylinder 5 is on the driver side bank. The longitudinal engine mounting provides access to both banks, though some components may need removal for spark plug access.
Common Causes
On a newer 2024 model, manufacturing defects or loose connections are more likely causes than wear-related issues. Ignition coil failure can occur on any vehicle. Check for TSBs addressing known issues. Spark plug problems are less likely unless there's a defect or poor fuel quality has been used.
Diagnostic Process
Read all codes and freeze frame data. Check for Nissan TSBs for the 2024 Titan. Verify all ignition system connections are secure. Inspect cylinder 5's spark plug and ignition coil. A 2024 model should be under warranty coverage for component failures.
