It's a 2000 GLE. I was replacing a faulty LED in the instrument cluster I found some strange lights on it. There are 3 that have no light base thingy behind them. I ran a flashlight behind them in order to see which bulbs I needed to replace and I saw this...







anyone know what these are?

 

TCS OFF - Traction Control System that some Maxima's were equipped with. This is, obviously, lit when the TCS is switched off.

SLIP - This light will illuminate or blink when the TCS is on and wheelspin is detected therefore engaging the TCS.

SPORT - Is for the auto adjustable suspension that has 3 settings (Comfort, Normal, and Sport).

Adjustable suspension was an option?

 

I guess those things aren't in the user manual?????

 

now what in the world is this mysterious document you speak of? YOu claim it has information about the car I drive? Poppycock!!!

 

I went looking and two of them were in the manual. But that blue "Sport" thing isn't, which I thought was really weird.

 

Guys, relax!

Remember that Nissan use to share a lot of parts between models, it doesn't surprise me that some mystical features appear in our clusters or even in some connections in our cars. Another Nissan car must got that "Sport" feature but I wonder which one.

Also, if your cluster doesn't have any bulb in those places (TCS and SLIP) it's because your model doesn't include them.

 

i also have a 2k gle, but i have never once seen that sport light come on, someone posted after the OP and said its adjustable suspension?! where is this **** located and how would i go about using it?! i didnt even know maxima's came with adjustable suspension..

 

I am curious to know now what car used this sport suspension that shared the same instrument cluster of the Maxima.

 

Here is a "bit" of info.

Omg!!! Things on a car that aren't used?!?!?!? WTF??!?!

...what has this world come too?!?!?

Maybe sport mode was a Japan-spec option only? Euro maybe? After driving some stock suspension 5th gens, I can't imagine something coming close to sporty. Maybe "less sloppy" at best.

 

<~~ going to be the jerk that goes up to the Nissan dealer and complains that my sport suspensión wont engage, causing my maxima to handle like a crown victoria.
