P2330: Ignition Coil K Primary Control Circuit Low
Do not keep driving
Stop if the engine light is flashing, even if the car feels entirely normal. On a twelve-cylinder engine one dead cylinder is very hard to feel and just as hard on the catalytic converter.
What this code means
Coil K's primary control circuit reads below its valid range. Eleven coils means a twelve-cylinder engine, where the arguments already made apply unchanged: the primary and secondary distinction at P2300, the plug argument at P2302, the shared-supply caution at P2312, and the warning at P2324 that a single misfire on an engine this size may be imperceptible while doing full damage to the converter.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
