Q: What does code P1395 mean?

Ignition Coil Power Output Stage 3 Malfunction. P1395 on Volkswagen vehicles indicates that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a malfunction in the power output stage for ignition coil 3, which is the transistor inside the ECM that switches the coil's primary circuit on and off. The ECM monitors the coil's electrical behavior and sets this code when the expected current or voltage pattern is not achieved, pointing to a fault in the coil, its wiring, or the ECM's internal driver.
