I have some major issues with my locking system and the dealer constantly tells me "to bring it back when it happens"... that is hard to do on something sparatic. I think it is Nissan's way of avoiding warranty work.

That code is not listed that I can find. Are you sure that is correct? I looked @ this site.

Would it not come out of 4hi or 4lo? I use to have problems and then I found that I was doing it wrong.

If it is an automatic and you want to put it in or take it out of 4lo you have to come to a complete stop, put it in N and then switch it in or out of 4lo.

If it's 4hi you are haivng problems with. You can do that on the fly, but I find that it doesn't come out of 4hi until you come to a complete stop after turning it off.

As for the locker. It's the same way. While in 4lo, come to a complete stop, put it in N and turn the locker on or off.

yep thats the code they gave me They might be blowing smoke up my arse !!
BOTH times that this problem happened I was stuck ,in sand .
My tires would spin ,Id stop and switch it into 4lo to see if that would help BOTH times it did . I would start moving out of the dilema ,stop go back into 4hi continue driving ..... Whenever i got done and didnt need the 4wd I'd stop switch back to 2wd AND VIOLA it wont switch back The last time this happened a red atp light came on and the vdc stayed on and wouldnt switch off .. I stated in an earlier post I DONT EVEN KNOW what the vdc does or did,It just came on by itself !!

Both times i tried every trick in the book to get it out of 4wd , I tried backing up in reverse... I tried switching it back into 4lo then back into 4hi
The only thing that worked was drive abt 5-10 mph for abt 2-5 miles then it just did by itself !! :scratch:

 

[bigwilly11189]

did you shift into neutral when going from 4hi to 4low or from 4low to 4hi?? you didnt mention that you did. maybe thats the problem.

I had the same problem this past weekend. For the moment I will blame it on the extreme cold weather (0 and below)
After pouring through the manual to see if I had done anything wrong, the only thing I didn't do while engaging 4lo and the locker was my foot wasn't on the brake.
Haven't had time to retest.

 

[burnout]

the OBD code is generally 5 digits total.

Both the ones you listed are invalid.

Well finally limp into dealer they say they'll take a look @ it !!!
5.45 pm get a call !!
MR BIGBOY we read the codes and have some bad news We received a memo from nissan that certain NISSANS have problem w/the "grounds" in computer and other electrical equip WE THINK YOU HAVE ONE OF THEM!?!?!
THEY NEED 3-4 DAYS TO dismantle everything and see if the grounds are faulty if not they need to call The headquarters and have the engeniers look into it to see wtf the problem is :crybaby:
SO now I have a few questions for U all
1 -have any of you heard of anyone else w/these problems ??
2-if they cant fix this how hard is it to QUALIFY FOR THE CALIF LEMON LAW (((i love this trk but i aint gunna keep it if im having these probs b-4 the warranty runs out))
3-Do any of u know a good hit-man 2 wipe out the prick who sold me this!!
THANKS FOLXXX fell free to post this on other boards AS I REALLY WANT TO KNOW IF iM THE ONLY 1 W/THIS MYSTERY !!!

BigBoy, I don't know what the code is but I was curious about which dealership you took your X to in SD? Just your experience and time with them so we can get your impression.

Mossy National City !!! AVOID THEM LIKE THE PLAUGUE!!!!

 

[bikemanj7]

dude thats a bummer. hope you get it worked out...

 

[Turtle]

Well, sorry to here that you've had to take the X in more than a couple times to find the problem. Electrical issues are really hard to track if they are even a little intermitent. But, grounds are the biggest pain of all for electrical. At least the dealer has narrowed something down and is doing something.

I had a Nissan D21 that had a bad ground problem with the throttle body position sensor. It took the technicians four visits to find that it was a ground issue. I had to twist there arm to credit me for parts they already replaced that weren't the problem (out of warranty). After that I had zero problems in the electrical.

Hopefully they can track down all of the ground problems in the system and the ecm and then be off and running trouble free.

Good luck.

 

[Magic Rat]

No experience with what you are going through, but while reading about your latest problem, faulty ground is the first thing I thought of.
Electrical problems are the worse
Good luck, hopefully this will fix it.

 

[bigboyindiego]

[Magic Rat]

According to the bulletin it appears it was the ECM ground circuits.

Shame it took so long to get diagnosed and fixed, but at least if this happens to someone else, they know where to send the dealer to look.

I'm gunna be really pi$$ed off if they dont get this fixed ,it already does qualify for the lemon law ((BUT)) They do not pay for the accessories that weren't installed by the dealer .Which comes up to a total of everything !!!! , AND although I dont have a world class baja truck what I do have on it adds up to a pretty peny ...A penny that i worked for . ANYONE WANNA HAVE A DE-modification party !?!?!I never noticed the other post with people having problems w/the vdc lights and slip IM having that problem also .....
