#3870 of 4048 2000 Auto trans problem - goes neutral while driving by swillkill Jul 01, 2008 (2:35 pm)
my 2000 maxima with AT is doing a strange thing. after driving for an hour or so the trans will go neutral while driving and the engine will just rev. this happened a week ago while on the highway. i had to pull over to the side, shut off, let sit for 5 min. start back up and it was ok. it happens on and off. ive been to three auto shops who cannot figure it out.   computer scans show nothing, visual inspection of removed trans oil pan show no signs of damage. my last option is to drop the tranny and pay 700 bucks for this. just wondering if anyone has heard of had this problem?   thanks!

#3871 of 4048 ABS light by caugn Jul 02, 2008 (3:26 am)
I have a 97 Maxima with 182000 miles. I replaced the front CV axles this weekend and now the ABS light is on and won't go off. I disconnected the battery thinking to reset the computer but that didn't work. I'm not aware of any wires or anything that got disconnected but who know. Any thoughts or suggestions of where to look? Replies to this message: just_phil (Jul 02, 2008 10:14 am) caugn (Jul 03, 2008 10:35 am) just_phil (Jul 03, 2008 5:41 pm)

Replying to: caugn (Jul 02, 2008 3:26 am) CV axles are different for ABS vs. non-ABS models. The ABS ones have a ring with teeth on it, which are needed for the speed sensor. My guess is that either the non-ABS axle was used, or the ABS sensor or its wires were damaged during axle installation.

Replying to: just_phil (Jul 02, 2008 10:14 am) Is this ring on the passenger side axle? The new axles didn't have anything like this but the passenger side had a ring on the existing axle that we pulled off and placed on the new. I specifically ordered CV axles for the maxima with ABS.

Replying to: caugn (Jul 03, 2008 10:35 am) No, what you are referring to is a support bearing. The ABS rings should be on each side. Look at the pictures in the link, you can see it in pictures 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. The ring is silver-colored, looks like a bicycle sprocket.   click here

Replying to: jackrabbit2 (Jul 05, 2008 1:48 pm) You don't state the mileage on the car. I'm betting you're looking at an overhaul or rebuilt on that trans being that the car is 24 years old.
#3877 of 4048 1991 Keyless Entry by guu Jul 19, 2008 (4:00 pm)
Does anyone know how to reset the keyless entry on a 1991 (might also help if there is a place to find an over-ride or default combination)

I have a 00 nissan maxima and my SERVICE ENGINE SOON light came on due to my o2 sensor. 3 days later my TRAC OFF light and SLIP light came on. I used my OBD II to reset it but it came back on after about an hour of driving. Does anyone have any idea about whats going on?

Replying to: swillkill (Jul 01, 2008 2:35 pm) I own a 2001 Nissan Maxima S and my car is experiencing the same problem. Have also taken to 3 different service providers, including dealer, and no one can solve issue. Thought it was related to bulletin posted by Nissan to replace transmission solenoid and computer. Wasted approx $1500 for that. My car only does this when it is 90 plus degrees outside and I have AC running full blast. Now checking the cooling system on car to see multiple parts are running properly. Dealer suggest that antifreeze solution should be 50/50 dilution and that if it is not it will cause car to run to hot and and thus cause transmission issues. Less expensive alternative to changing transmission but not sure it will work.
