Q: What does code P1364 mean?

Ignition Coil Primary Circuit Fault. P1364 on Ford vehicles indicates that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an abnormal condition in the primary circuit of an ignition coil, such as an open circuit, short to ground, or short to power. The PCM monitors the coil primary circuit for expected voltage and current during the dwell and firing phases, and it sets this code when the signal does not match the expected profile.
