I have a buddy with an 02 Max that is throwing this code P1572. I haven't been able to nail down what this means, as I don't have a manual to look it up. Any help would be great.

Also Anybody in the bay area that has a 84-Present Ford vehicle, I just gained access to an offical Ford ECU reprogramming tool/OBD II scanner. With this tool we can tweak your timing, security settings, reprogram keys and fobs, etc..... IF anybody is interested let me know. I can also pull and clear all OBD II codes from most vehicles.

Thanks guys

 

P1572 Motor Drive Module (MDM) Temperature Signal Circuit Low Input although other manuals point to a Brake Pedal Switch Circuit.

 

Thanks man, What manual did you get that out of, and what are the "other" manuals that point to the brake circuit?

 

It's all on the web. Just look up OBD-II codes. Nissan has there own set of codes as well that are generated with the generic codes.

 

Anybody have a Manual for the 2002-2003 Maxima? The code definitions for P1572 on the web are either for GM or FORD not Nissan. I can't seem to find what it means on the Max on the web anywhere.

 

Hmmm... Not that this helps anyone, but I looked up this code in my 00 service manual and it is not there
