What does code P1206 mean?

Q: What does code P1206 mean?

Cylinder 6 Misfire. P1206 on Nissan vehicles indicates that the engine control module has detected a misfire event specifically on cylinder number 6, typically by monitoring crankshaft speed fluctuations that deviate from the expected firing pattern. The code is stored once the misfire counter for that cylinder exceeds a calibrated threshold, which may be accompanied by a flashing check engine light if the misfire is severe enough to damage the catalytic converter.
