What the *** is "MAH"?

Go to a local Autozone, Checker, etc. and have them pull the code for you.

What's wrong with using "my"?

What do you mean is that normal? Like some kind of 50K service light or something?

I don't believe it's normal, so go get the code and come back here.

Sure...muffler bearings usually fail right around 50K.

Just ask your mechanic to stick his rod in your tail-pipe to find out.

I have 2K2 and SES light came on, had the codes read and they were both
emissions codes. I called the dealer and they seem to think I don't
know how to tighten the gas cap. Anyway, dealer is fixing for free, as soon as they let me know what they did, I'll let you know. Your muffler should have nothing to do with SES.

The Nissan dealer told me if the SES light is blinking
then it would need immediate attention, if it is on steady
no problem. I do not know this for fact, just passing on dealer info.

Hey, I have a 2000 Max, I Have 43000 miles on it , the service light
came on when i had 41000, i took it to a a independent shop for Nissans and ran the car through a palm pilot computer that attaches under ur steering wheel and i came back with a dirty catalytic converter. he reset my car and said that if it came back on again to bring it back and he would check it out, A week later samething happened and the test came back the same. So it could be ur cat is dirty. may need a new one.
