#4018 of 4048 Air Bag light indicator malfunction by lauris Jul 17, 2009 (4:16 am)
My '99 Maxima SE Air Bag indicator light has been flashing for months. Does this mean either the air bag system has failed, or just a malfunctioning bulb?   In addition, my TCS and Slip lights came on a few weeks ago including the Service Engine indicator light. My understanding is if both lights are on they cancel out the TCS and Slip functions.   There are 120,000 miles on the speedometer. Are these malfunctions typical for older Maximas?

Replying to: lauris (Jul 17, 2009 4:16 am) I have an 01 Maxima. When the airbag light went on, it was indeed a malfunctioning airbag and had to be repaired, so I would get that checked out ASAP. I also had TCS and Slip lights come on, and that meant a failed ABS sensor, and once again, those functions were not working until the sensor was replaced. So you should get both of those checked out. By the way, those two replacements are the only out of ordinary repairs I've had to make so far, so it's not like things are malfunctioning left and right.

Replying to: suydam (Jul 17, 2009 11:15 am) Thanks for your reply, suydam. I'll check into having the airbag repaired. How much did this cost? Curious. Think I can replace the ABS sensor. Besides this, I've replaced 4 out of 6 ignition coils so far. The coils are a persistent problem w/ '99 Maximas. The coil issues started around 90K miles.

#4021 of 4048 window relay? by guu Jul 19, 2009 (9:43 am)
On My 91 Max the master window control on the driver door will not roll up the passenger windows anymore, can anyone confirm and help me locate a relay that would cause only this one symptom?

Replying to: lauris (Jul 19, 2009 9:10 am) I had to take it to the dealer, and I think is was around $500 (parts and labor). The passenger air bag module had to be replaced. As to the ABS sensor, both rear wheel sensors were the ones that had to be replaced. The front ones are fine. You can try cleaning off the brake dust first, though. Sometimes that works. I've been fortunate so far, no coil problems.
#4023 of 4048 Looking for an active forum by allegoric Jul 21, 2009 (8:27 pm)
I have a 1995 Maxima and looking for a second opinion (Techs here I hope). I pulled the code from the CEL and it was 0102 meaning MAF, I installed a NEW one and it still wants to stall when turning or parking, any ideas what to look at next. I have no CEL yet, probably didn't drive far enough since replacing the MAF and clearing the code for a full drive cycle yet?

#4025 of 4048 Maxima 1997 engine truns off on stops and lights by georgios10 Jul 28, 2009 (3:39 pm)
I have a 1997 Nissan maxima and the engine turns off today on every light and stop sign. Anybody can tell what is going on? I would appreciate it very much. Thank you. Replies to this message: allegoric (Jul 28, 2009 6:46 pm)

Replying to: georgios10 (Jul 28, 2009 3:39 pm) It's probably the power steering pressure switch on the firewall, passenger side. I replaced my IAC and MAF before discovering it, I only found ROCKAUTO on EBAY selling them for about $60, but I just discoed mine and it idles perfectly.I have a 95, this problem seems to have many people posting without a clue replacing everything but discovering this "switch". Let me know if I am right I have a big ego!
#4027 of 4048 cranks but doesn't like to start by hillbilly1025 Jul 28, 2009 (7:36 pm)
Hey all, new to this forum and needing help. This is my first Nissan, a 2000 Max w/ 127k. I've had the car two months, bought it for my wife for a beater around town and back and forth to work. It's had the problem since we bought it, we assumed the dealer could figure it out easily, Boy was I wrong.    OK enough yapping and down to the problem. Sometimes the car will crank and crank but won't hit. Sometimes it starts on the first crank. We cannot make it repeat and nothing seems to trigger it. The dealer first told me it was the starter and for 538 dollars they would fix it. Well I got the starter and changed it myself, wasn't it. put the old one back and got my money back. It left my wife sitting and I had to leave work, so we took it straight to the dealer when I got it going. this time they told me it was the crank sensor and the flywheel was missing teeth. they wanted $1187 for the repair. not happening. got thecar home changed the rear CPS, no change, front CPS no change. While I was under the car I decided to look at the flywheel myself( by the access panel on the bottom of the tranny they said they used), well it hasn't been off.also cleaned the cam sensor   Does anyone have any ideas or ran into the same problem? Oh and would the key have any effect on the starting, I know it is chipped, but the one we have is pretty beat up and rattles when shaken, I'm thinking the the chip may be loose and relaying the proper info, just a guess   sorry for the long post, just trying to give as much info as possible. Thanks RM Replies to this message: majnolo (Sep 25, 2009 2:08 pm)
