ABS/SLIP/TCS ALL ON
i was replacing my CV axles today as well as the rotors and break pads, i was only able to replace one CV axle (driver side) the passanger side is just impossible to get to. after i gave up on the second CV axle i tried turning my car on by SOMEHOW but battery was drained to its last volt (had to get a new one) and after all that i realized that my ABS an TCS arnt working, any idea on what it could be and how to fix it.

I need help to find out the best way to fix the SES light in my 2000 Maxima GLE.
1. Connected OBD II computer and registered code P0160. Code reset and drove car for ~ 200 miles.
2. SES, SLIP and TCS lights come on simultaneously. After re-starting the car the SLIP and TCS light go away and return from time to time. SES light remained on.
3. SES went off by itself (no battery disconnect or light reset) and then all three lights came back after ~ 70 miles.
4. SES light came on again. Codes P1320 and P1614 registered. Car is turning on fine and no problems noticed starting the car.
5. SES, SLIP and TCS lights come on simultaneously. After re-starting the car the SLIP and TCS light go away and return from time to time. SES light remained on.
SES came back and SLIP and TCS off remained off. Brought it to the mechanic and Codes P1320 and P1614 were read. Car IS NOT misfiring so the mechanic indicated that P1320 might be due to some sort of problem in one of the coils. However, since the car is not misfiring and we are not getting any of the codes to identify the specific coil, the only solution to get rid of the code now is to change all 6 coils which is very expensive. Code P1614 we are not sure what is causing this. The car came with an aftermarket alarm (Viper with remote start) and he believes that can be the problem but did not provide any direction as to how to fix it. I know there is a way to test a malfunctioning coil when the engine is misfiring by removing each coil and watching for no change in performance but since the car is working fine I do not think that is an alternative.
