If your 2012
Dodge Grand Caravan’s
“Service Engine Soon” light turns on and you scan the engine computer for error codes, a cylinder 6 misfire will be designated by the code P0306.
Common causes for a cylinder 6 misfire in a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan are:
  • Burnt or bent valves
  • Faulty spark plug or wires
  • Broken piston ring(s)
  • A damaged ignition coil
These issues can spell disaster and potentially serious engine damage down the line, so if you receive a P0306 trouble code for a cylinder 6 misfire, you should always get it checked out as soon as possible.
Keeping your engine in good condition is crucial to keeping you safe on the road—but so is making sure you’re covered by the right insurance policy. Licensed
