Hey guys,
Im not a 5th gen owner but my dad is. Is SES light came on on the way home from vacation. We think it was a huge puddle he went threw. It was pouring down on the way back and he hit a huge puddle. We stopped for gas aboiut 5 minutes after that and once we got back on the road the SES light came on. Were not sure what it is. How bad is it 2 drive it like that? Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Sean

 

I am about 90% sure that the person who fill the gas did not close the gas cap tightly (take about three click) just drive around with gas cap correctly and SES light should go away or to autozone to check the code out

 

FIXED!! All we did was remove two engine control fuses from the box under the hood for about a minute and it was gone. Hasnt came back on yet.

Thanks

 

Thats cool that you found a way to make the SES go away, but now you don't know why it was there in the first place. I'd say if it comes on again, you may want to find out whats causing it first before pulling fuses just to make the SES go away.

 

coils............

Thus from my guess, since coil #1 is faulty (P0301) it sent the bad signal to the ECM for timing (P1320) and cause the other coils to misfire (P0300).

BTW, I am in contact with Nissan North America right now regarding about these faulty coils we have in 2000/1 Maximas (TSB NTB01059 ). They do cost a lot of $$$ and Nissan should do a recall on them. I have over 140,000+ miles on my cars, so it is obvious I am out of my warantee. My Nissan North America advisor is Coleman (310-771-8473) and I have disclosed all my personal feeling about this situation to him and what other 2000/1 Maxima owner think also from the Online Petition for a Recall (http://www.petitiononline.com/NIS_IGN/petition.html)

Please...if other Maxima owner feel Nissan should a recall, call Coleman or Nissan North America (1-800-NISSAN-1) how you feel and e-sign that petition if you haven't so. I told Coleman I am #416 on that petition. My next move is to contact the BBB and the NHTSA about Nissan's reluctance for a recall.
