Dealer code P1320

Hi all, Can someone tell me the description for dealer code P1320 ? The "service engine soon" light is on, so I had AutoZone perform a diagnostic test. The service code is P1320, but the description of the code wasn't available in the database. The service guy told me only the dealer would know the meaning of the code.

Thanks!

The book says that code P1320 means (Ignition signal primary circuit fault.) What ever the hell that means I dunno.

This is the code you get when the ignition coils are starting to go. This is a very common problem in the 2000 Max. Just had this problem with my 2000 I30.

IMO, since it is very hard to figure exactly which coil is bad, replace all 6. I did this and the car runs better than ever and MPG have increased. You can do it yourself and save some money.

You can get the coils online for ~$300.00 shipped. You need 3 "right" and 3 "left". Can go to www.nissan-parts-dealer.com or can call David B. 888-254-6060.
