Mine came on last night, turned out to be nothing more than a routine maintenance reminder. However, the manual stops at 105k miles for regularly scheduled maintenance, and I'm at 133995 miles.

Since having mine from Sept-2004 at 38,000, I did all the rear oxygen sensors then got a P0430 three-way catalyst function code. Called DaveB (stupid south point nissan) who said to replace the bank 1 pre-cat. Once done, the light went out. Then it came back and I replaced bank 2 pre-cat. No codes for 6 months now. I'm at 235,000

Careful with those cheap bluetooth ODB2 adapters, some are so junky they hardly work with the Torque application for real-time data monitoring.

nice to see this thread bumped again. Last i looked at it, mine was on, but since then, i've gutted my cats and am now using non-foulers. Haven't had a CEL for at least 4 months now, which is great.

I have no code BUT I do have a rough idle problem when I start my car up. The RPM needle would randomly go from a little under 2k to around 500 and then back up to 1.8k, it eventually evens itself out after the engine gets warmed up. I've been doing some research around here on the org and have been getting alot of different answers, I'm kinda wishing that I had a code to work with.. Can anyone give me an opinion on where I should start?
