So I picked up my new MAx today and...

So I picked up another 2K SE today, Fully loaded. It's ... Green (not sure the official color.. Sherwood if I'm not mistaken) Anyways, I got a extra couple hundred $'s off the car because it had a bad MAF. MAF replaced and all, I notice while driving home that my SLIP light is on. I did a search and all I found was others with a combination of problems>> SLIP/ABS/TCS, etc. Only the SLIP light is on, no problems with power to the wheels or anything, can actually do a burnout if I try. Does anyone have any idea??????? I hate to be worrying already when I just picked this thing up. Thanks in Advanced.

Yeah, those are pretty much the unspecific answers I've been finding. Like I said, I only have the Slip light. But it seems to come up for non-related reasons.

I don't think they can pull specific codes... just generic OBD-II CEL's... but I could be wrong.

I am a Nissan n00b, but I think your equivilant to VAG-com (in the VW/Audi world) is Consult? Luckily, we can buy the cable and software from a 3rd party vendor and don't have to go to the dealer to get the specific codes!

sorry to thread-jack, but is something like this avial. for Nissan?
