What does Ford code P1296 mean?
The Injector Driver Module (IDM) is capable of detecting individual injector open circuits and short circuits to ground or power while the engine is running. The IDM is also capable of detecting open circuits or short circuits to ground in the right or left bank high-side circuit. Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P1296 indicates that there is more than one fault on the right or left cylinder bank. A short circuit and open circuit may exist simultaneously in both the low-side and high-side circuits on the bank with the DTC.
