Check for codes...mine is on too. Mine seems to come on and off with the temperature of the car? So maybe I have an exhaust leak or something. It was throwing knock sensor/evap control system, and whatever 4/3 3/4 is, lost my ecu decoder :P

My 93 Maxima SE and my ex's 93 and 95 Altimas had the same problem... turned out to be the alternator. You'll kno for sure cuz the ebrake light and battery light comes on before everything shuts down.
