Report: Check Engine Llight Due to Failed Ignition Coil
Nissan Maxima Problem
Model Years Affected: 1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001
Average Mileage: 126,333 mi (50,000 mi - 201,000 mi)
The Check Engine Light may illuminate indicating a primary ignition signal fault. Many times the cause is an ignition coil(s) that has failed. The problem in the coil causes the spark energy to feedback through the wiring harness into the other coils. If this is not repaired, it can damage the other coils (blistering on the coils may be seen).
