The completely redesigned 2024 Hyundai Kona features 4-cylinder engines—the 2.0L MPI or available 1.6L turbo. All configurations contain only cylinders 1 through 4. When P0306: Cylinder 6 Misfire Detected appears, you're encountering an anomalous code.
Second-Generation Kona
The 2024 Kona introduces bold new styling and improved interior. It continues with efficient 4-cylinder powertrains only. No cylinder 6 exists in any configuration.
Why This Erroneous Code Appears
New platform protocols may confuse generic scanners. Aftermarket devices create conflicts. ECU communication errors generate false codes.
Proper Diagnostic Approach
Clear all codes and drive through conditions. Use Hyundai GDS updated for the new platform. Focus on legitimate misfire codes (P0301-P0304).
Bold New Design
The 2024 Kona's dramatic styling pairs with efficient powertrains. Use valid codes for actual concerns.
