My "Service Enginer Soon" light went on a couple of days ago. I have no clue why that happened while I have been doing the oil changes on time and the car is only 8 months old and has only 15K Miles on it. Any ideas?

This is just a guess, but you have a CAI right? Does it use an oiled filter? If so, you might check to see if there is oil leakage that has messed with the MAF sensor.

You also might want to take your car to an Autozone (or somewhere else that will do it for you) and have them pull the error code to see what is going on.

Please report back here when you find out what it is.

Is your gas cap on securely? Do any Mods? Check the owners manual, they have a troubleshooting section which states why this light may come on... Good luck and let us know what you find...

Hi Guys,

Found out it was the EGR Valve and the Cat that need to be changed. There is a technical bulletin about this too.

By the way Chermax, that's a smokin' ride you got there! Woah! Ouch very hot!

My gosh!


Where in the world was the quality control on that? How could you have something with metal debris in it like that get through?

Just take it to the dealer, thats my two cents

Dealer checked valve...no debris...now doing back pressure check regarding Cat. I will use this opportunity to ask about advancing the timing 2 degrees to 17.

also while your down there might as well get the greddy.

Hi Maxmale ...love your ride....I have a few questions: regarding the seats...did you put those in yourself or did you have that done and looks real cool. How did you do that paint job in the engine bay? Whose Intake is that? Is that the full Cat back from Greddy? DId you have that done at the dealer?

Regarding my Max, the CAT was OK and did not need changing. The dealer did change the EGR valve though because the Nissan Tech Center recommended it. I have the car back and she's doing great. A bit of vibration around 70 mPH ...maybe time for a wheel balancing again....next oil change.

The dealer said that they were not equipped to advance the timing....Strange. Oh well at least I tried.

I been lucky...SES never went on till I dropped a K&N in for a few mins....took it out...it stayed on for a couple days and hasnt been on since...BTW I have 37k now

RHMax

I'm running K&N since I got the car and no SES light. Are you sure that K&N was the problem?

Retep01

what is the best air filter around that will add the most HP? Sorry i cannot start my own thread yet b/c i am under 15 posts.

RHMax

This topic has been beaten to death witn no real winner Look through past threads.

04BlackMaxx

Im positive...immediately at startup with the new K&N in it went on and the revvs were all messed up at idle...took it out and the car revved fine and light went off after 3 days...

daves04smoke

RH,
Same with me have had the K&N from 50miles on and no SES light, question for 04Black, did you add and of the spray oil on the filter?

04BlackMaxx

Nope...I took it out of the plastic and popped it in per the instructions.

RHMax

I had a tough time locking the air box the first time w/ K&N. Since then, I removed the air box several times for different mods, and still no light. Do you still have it? Do you want to try it again?
