  • How to check (and clear) the check engine light codes on your 4th gen Maxima.
    What do the codes mean? boredmder.com/e...

    This is amazing. Not sure why I couldn't find this a couple years ago anywhere. I knew there was a way to do it but didn't know how. THANK YOU!!!

    @kmswit Not really harmful to the vehicle, generally speaking. The only time I'd expect to see an issue is if you're running very cheap, low octane fuel and really getting on it on a very hot day. In that case, the knock sensor being disabled would not allow the ECU to drop the timing to a safe map in the event of spark knock.
    That being said, don't cheap out on fuel and you should be fine.

    @BraydenScienceFair09 If the problem still exists, the code will most likely come back after clearing. Depending on what sort of fault, it may come on immediately (hard fault, like an open circuit to a component), a few miles of driving, or it may even take an entire drive cycle for the code to set.

  • @boredmder

    You'll have to complete the full drive cycle in order to set all the readiness monitors for you to pass an OBD-II emissions inspection.

    @cris1881C It's possible, but I doubt I'll be making a video of that anytime soon. It's fairly easy to change out, all you need is a wrench.

    Thanks for putting this up! Very easy to see. Great!

    @kmswit Assuming a '96 or later, it should keep the P0325 from returning and, assuming no other codes and emissions readiness monitors are all set, you should pass the basic OBD-II testing they do in most states for emissions.
    If a '95, then generally most states won't check for codes, instead running it on the dyno and gathering actual emissions measurements. In that case, it wouldn't really help.

    @cris1881C Go to the link right in the description for a description of the code.

    Thank you for the great vid and info...Helped me out!

    I have codes 0304 and 0303, I know 0304 is the knock sensor (very common with these cars), where do i find out what 0303 is? Thanks for all the great videos btw, I used your knock sensor video, you make it look so easy lol. Very much harder thn you make it look (at least for beginners ;P).. Please let me know where i can find what 0303 means..

    I have a friend with a 97 Maxima, and couldn't find that screw... is it on top of the ECM in the stock spot? (his is over top of the gas pedal)

    @cris1881C Před 12 lety

    OK, I got what the code is, it's Front Left Heated O2 sensor. Do you plan on making any videos replacing that part? Or where i can find a video for that? Thanks again for all the great videos..

  • @boredmder
    @boredmder  Před 15 lety

    Yes. Never bothered to replace the brake pedal. No real need to.

    2000 nissan altima first digit 10 second 5. I erase the codes turn on the car and it comes back any clues on what is the problem?

    • @boredmder
      @boredmder  Před 8 lety

      +Fabian Chin An ECM 1005 code is a P1400 OBD code, which means EGR solenoid. Given that it's a hard failure (comes back immediately), my first check would be to make sure it's plugged in, then ohm out the two pins. Chances are you'll find a hard short or open, which calls for a replacement of the valve.

    96-99 should be obd2

    • @boredmder
      @boredmder  Před 7 lety

      Indeed they are, but the '95s are also, kind of. They are mostly OBD-II compatible with signaling and codes, just have the DLC in a different location.
