2000 Nissan Maxima GXE review from North America
"I never liked Japanese cars, but now I have a different Idea"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Service engine light came on at 41000 miles.
General comments?
If you can afford a $150 scanner buy it. Then if you get a P0420. Check which bank; if it tells you bank 1 it's the firewall side if it says bank 2 it's the radiator side. Change the upstream sensor first, then you have to let the car run for about 30 miles highway until completes the 50 cycles so that it resets by itself. If you have more than 80000 miles it might be the catalytic. I have some experience in mechanic even though I'm a Computer engineer, and I found the problem. So I'm pretty sure you guys can do it too.
