Is it true that there was a split-year for 1995 Maximas? I have a "Check Engine" light/oxigen sensor problem. And the mechanic at Midas told me that there are two different computer modules, one for the 1st half & the other for the 2nd half of the split-year. There are also oxigen sensors for the 1st half & 2nd half. They cannot be mixed. If do mixed them, the Check Engine light will keep coming back on. Is this a fact? Thank you.

 

I, personally couldn't tell you if it's a fact or not, however, I do know that the 95 Max had a recall on the rear O2 sensor.

 

I don't think there is a split year for '95 max's, jus that some max's were made early in '94 and designated '95's(for instance i have a '95 GXE, but look at the door sill sticker and u will see mine was made in 3/94) But i believe that there should be no difference between them, at least i haven't been corrected or notified that there is a difference, I also do believe there was a recall on 02 sensors b/c i think i had two replaced for free.

 

my 95 max was made in 2/95 that's like a year newer then your's,anyway's I believe what your mechanic said was true in the sense that early 95's like Gotrice's had OBD1 and late model 95's like mine were updated to OBD2,The difference between the OBD's is some form of strictor emission control implemented in the OBD2 unit.That's all I know.
