Just saw this on the Maxima forum - May be of some help!

I know that some of you have had some strange codes before now that have not been in any Z32 write-ups. Here are the maxima's with some of the Z32's.

 

This table may be used as a reference for interpreting your Nissan vehicle's computer messages.

 

If codes other than these are indicated, repeat self-diagnosis. If codes reappear, substitute a known good ECM, and recheck codes.

 

CODE PROBABLE CAUSE for Nissan vehicles 1984 and later.

11 Crank angle sensor/circuit (1988 to 1990); Crankshaft position sensor (1991 to 1996)

12 Air flow Meter/circuit open or shorted

13 Cylinder head temperature sensor(Maxima and 300ZX models); all others coolant temperature sensor circuit

14 Vehicle Speed Sensor signal circuit is open

15 Mixture ratio is too lean despite feedback control; fuel injector clogged

21 Ignition signal in the primary circuit is not being entered to the ECU during cranking or tuning

22 Fuel pump circuit (Maxima and 1987 and later 300ZX models); all others idle speed control valve or circuit

23 Idle switch (throttle valve switch) signal circuit open

24 Park/netural switch malfunctioning
