Man...they are going to freak when they see my car. I pulled the code, but I haven't able to pin point the exact problem. I think I'm over the warranty period according to the service manager. I thought powertrain was 5 years/ 50K. Anyway, for $68 they will pin point for me, then I'll just replace the part myself. Hope it's a connector or that dropping resistor. Don't feel like dropping the pan and replace the line pressure soleniod.

 

what is the code?

If you post to Daniel B Martin in the 4th Gen Forum.. he can pretty much tell you whats wrong and how to fix it..

 

Dig around for the instructions for ecu dignostic procedures. I think the auto tranny and their own diagnostic also. The ABS ecu also has a diagnostic.

The dealer is only gonna hook up the car to the consult and pull the code. You can do the same for free.

 

Took mine this morning also, they got me for 75$. Still waiting to hear back from them.

The code is 1205. L/Press SOL/Circ. It's auto tranny problem. FSM shows few areas where the problem could occur. shorts at the connectors, broken dropping resistor or the Line Pressure Solenoid itself. I don't have a multi-meter and most of these diagnostic requires to measure OHM.

 

Back from the dealer. The dropping resistor is bad. The tech said he never seen the solenoid or this dropping resistor go bad. Anyway, cheap part ~$25. I ordered one from Vester Nissan and it should get to my house by Friday. Thank God I don't have to drop the pan.

 

Got a call back from the dealer, said it was a temp sensor for the raditor. 150 bucks part has to be special order.

could the drop resistor mod do this??? i have mine hooked up to a switch but it is turned to where the tranny shifts normal like factory

 

wow. alot of OG's in this old thread....

 

Holy old thread batman!

 

I think he just posted in here because it's related to his problem. The moderators need to make up their mind. It appears that when people post about an issue that was made a few months ago people get mad and say repost, this thread sucks, etc. However, when someone posts in an old thread when they have a problem, people get just as annoyed. We need to make up our minds.

 

Its not only the moderators, there's alot of internet police lurking in these forums. Gotta watch out.

 

When this symptom occured did you notice anything weird far as performance and driving goes or this was one of those problems that has the SES light on and you don't feel anyting wrong with your car.

I see a lot of discussion concerning going to the dealer for diagnostic checking. What is the best aftermarket OBDII analyzer (for Gen 4)? Autotap.com has a good website. anybody using their equipment??

 

Autozone FTW! Its free, what more can you ask?
