Frequently asked
Is code P0306 safe to clear?
Clearing is only safe once you have read and recorded the freeze frame. Re-appearing after a clear is the useful signal; clearing without recording destroys it.
Is P0306 a BMW-specific or a generic code?
This is a generic SAE J2012 code, so any OBD-II tool can read it.
