The 2022 Kia Forte features 4-cylinder engines—the 2.0L MPI or 1.6L turbo depending on trim. Both are inline-4 configurations with only cylinders 1 through 4. When P0306: Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected displays, you're facing an anomalous code.

Sources of Erroneous P0306
Scanner interpretation issues cause false codes. Aftermarket devices interfere with communication. ECU glitches generate incorrect cylinder codes.

The Forte's 4-cylinder engines provide excellent fuel economy and value. Use valid codes for concerns.
