dropping your car off at the dealership today for the 4th time in less than 2 months for the ses light
1.. reset ecu......ses came on before i got home
2.p0430 replaced tube assy exhaust....3 days after getiing car back ses comes on again
3.p0430 internal failure in catalyst converter....same story ses less than a week after getting car back
4. who knows hopefully fing out tomorrow
all of this is with around 1000 miles from first trip for ses light

2 yrs no problems 2 months basically no car

 

kick the manager where the sun don't shine.tell him you are calling BBB .try another dealer

 

I have had the same exact problem with code P0430. I am at a loss too. Dealer has no idea what to do.

 

Have they replaced the cat?

 

I actually went to two dealers, both said NO. I have to replace my HKS rear section with a factory muffler before they can even look at it.

 

just got the call, car is ready replaced back o2 sensors.. will tell exactly what later

 

i agree completely.

 

Are O2 sensors replaceable under the 80k emissions warranty.

 

that i don't know, this was still original warranty, just barely though 35,717 miles when i took it in the last time.

the ticket says ...replaced... heated o2 sensors

 

I have they same problem on my 2001 SE maxima. What did you do to finally get rid of the code P0430?

 

You do know this thread is 3 years old?

I hope that one doesn't get bumped. I'm guessing someone tosses a google, and a thread comes up from here, they click on it, then they find that they can't start their own, the bump it not knowing it's age, or how many times it has come up. In the link I provided, there are quite a few remedies.

 

Me and you should have thread locking abilities

IIRC P0430 is rear o2 sensor.

 

 

Obviously you still read the post and I am new here. So give a newbie a break. Thanks for the info. And if you needed help and I had the anwers, I would not be a smart *** about it!

 

If you had been here for 7 years, you might get a little ticked at all the same questions being asked when they have been answered. ESPECIALLY this particular question, since it is VERY common.

All you needed to do was read the stickies, something that is REQUIRED prior to starting a new thread, or for that matter, bumping an ancient one.

My daily lecture is complete, let's move on.
