A P0306 diagnostic trouble code on your 2022 Lincoln Aviator indicates a misfire detected on cylinder 6. The Aviator's 3.0L twin-turbocharged V6 engine produces 400 horsepower (or 494 hp in the Grand Touring PHEV), making this code valid for your vehicle.
2022 Aviator Powertrains
- Standard Aviator: 3.0L twin-turbo V6 (400 hp)
- Aviator Grand Touring: 3.0L twin-turbo V6 + electric motor (494 hp combined)
Both variants use the same 3.0L twin-turbo V6 base engine, so P0306 is valid for all 2022 Aviator models.
Common Causes of P0306
- Ignition Coil Failure: Turbo heat can accelerate coil degradation
- Spark Plug Wear: High-pressure combustion is hard on plugs
- Direct Injector Issues: Carbon buildup or mechanical failure
- Boost Leaks: Turbo piping or intercooler leaks
- Intake Carbon Deposits: Valve buildup from direct injection
- Mechanical Issues: Low compression from internal wear
