So I decided to mess around with my deck to see if I could get the subs to his any harder. After realizing I had blown the fuse AGAIN for my dash lights, I replaced it with my fuse for the heated seats, since I don't have heated seats. After getting my dash lights to show again, I leave my friends apartment and notice the Serivce Engine Soon light is on. I figure that it was probably no big deal and I continue to leave. As I hit the first light, I hit the gas when it turns green and notice that I'm going no faster than 20 mph and that my RPM needle doesn't go beyond 2,000 rpms. Does warranty cover MAFs? I'm going to change my injen back to stock when I take my car in, but I just want to find out if it is covered under warranty. Another thing is that my gas light was on. So I'm thinking I either grabbed the wrong fuse instead of heated seats, or maybe my gas was too low, or maybe it really is the MAF...Anyone have any ideas?

 

Sounds like limp mode to me, but possibly the MAFS. Heres a quick test for you, un-plug the MAFS and see if the car drives the same. If the car drives the same that means your MAFS is blown, if not the problem is likely else where. Also I would double check your fuses, perhaps you blew anoteher fuse or pulled the wrong one out?

BTW MAFS usualy break when the car is being floored, or they will break slowly..

 

Which one is the MAF btw. Y2kSESteve installed my intake so I don't know what anything is. lol Thanks!

 

The MAF is the black pipe just behind the filter.

Here is a pic to show you:

 

2K's are different than that pic.

 

Ah good news everyone!

Today I went to visit my car and the fuse panel cover was sitting on top of the drivers seat where I had left it. I looked at it, and the answer hit me, I had pulled the wrong fuse. Instead of pulling the fuse for the heated seats, I pulled the fuse for A/T Control. I moved the fuse from the heat seater up to A/T control and my car works! Only thing left is the SES light is on, but I just disconnected my Negative battery terminal, as I heard that will get rid of the SES since there is nothing wrong with my car now! I'm so happy!

 

Are you sure you want to ever work on your car again? Leave it to anyone, god, anyone else.

 

LoL. Maybe I'll leave it to asu174, he may even have better luck than I do.

 

How do you figure? The 2001 and 2002 MAFS is physicaly the same and it's located in the exact same place.


PM50, you might want to buy some spare fuses

 

Yeah, lol, I unplugged the negative side of the battery and I still have the SES. Could it be caused from a missing fuse in the 'seat heater' spot?

 

I'm not too clear on what you meant....but when you say "floored," will this mainly happen when you have an intake or could it blow running stock?

 

You can still blow a MAF with the stock airbox, it is probably just more difficult as the filter doesn't have oil on it. Nissan wouldn't put out a TSB MAF for 2ks and 2k1s only for those using an aftermarket intake. They don't like those who mod.

 

The stock filters DO have oil on them. Although it is slight, not like the K&N.

 

Ok, I went to buy another fuse for the heated seats, to hopefully get rid of the SES light, but after replacing the fuse, still no luck. Would unplugging the negative battery terminal again do anything? Does it cost money to figure out why the SES light is on? Thanks!

 

It takes like 24 hours for the ECU to clear. So disconect the battery for a day.. The heated seats are not part of the OBD2 system, so it would not make a cel come on.

 

24 HOURS!! WTF! Who has 24 hours to disconnect the battery?! I've been told that it clears in 30 mins, are you sure it is 24 hours?!

 

Tell me, what happened to the SES light after the 30 minute "clearing"?

 

Haha, I just assumed that maybe my car really had a problem. Why would it be 24 hours? That seems insanely long to me...
