CHECK ENGINE Light only 28K
#1
My sister drove the maxima today, and came home with the Check engine light on.
ITs only a 99 with 28K miles!!
I want to kill her!!!
Has this happened to anyone at such a low milage, and what are some stupid reasons the light could come on?

Get the code yourself. Its real easy. I got my first code a couple days ago for the MAF and it was just because I forgot to hook it up after I installed my intake. Its easy to reset too. Instructions are at the link:

My brothers 99 SE-L has only 32k on it and he is getting ECU code 0606 cylinder #3 misfire... he is ****ed after spending $28k for a fully loaded car!
Now he is not sure what to do as the car is ~2 months out of warranty...

Like others have said. Whatever you do DO NOT have a mechanic pull the code for you. If is very easy to do yourself, unless you want to pay 60-100 bucks to have them do something that you can do in less than 5 minutes. Just my opinion. Take Care

Do you guys get a check engine light after getting off the dyno?
In NY we have to have emissions done. I get a check engine light after the emissions test, it goes away after a couple days. Something about a G-force sensor going crazy, 60 MPH and 0 G's ?

Don't be angry at your sister. This could be something which is not her fault.

Well, it may not be his sister's fault, but there were a few mistakes made here
- he let his sister drive his car
- he let his sister drive his 5-speed
- he let his sister drive his 5-speed car with ample torque
hehe, just ribbing, but seriously...there is a strict "no women allowed" policy for my drivers seat. Ever since I had a gf that drove a stick, and also since I saw my mom drive my bro's accord stick....they would both like, engage the clutch (and hold in all the way to the stop) a mile away before a stop sign/red light/etc. Not to mention a few other habits.
