Old Hoon Needs Help

[mym35]

got in m35 tonight to drive it.Turned on ignition.

A W D LAMP COMES ON (STAYS ON)

A T LAMP LIGHTS UP "

A B S LAMP ALSO COMES ON WITH A SLIGHT HUM HEARD WITH IT.

GEAR DISPLAY SHOWS WHEN TURNING ON BUT GOES OUT WHEN PUTS CAR INTO GEAR.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT TOUCHING CONTROL.(WONT CHANGE TO HIGH BEAM, BUT TURNS OFF WITH IGNITION)

This is beyond my tired old brain.Any suggestions would be appreciated.

car starts/ runs?

best to ask someone near you to plug in a consult cable with laptop to find out what the errors are.

or disconnect battery for 24hrs, retry. hope its just a minor glitch.

hi Chris,yes/yes ran it around block slowly, seems sort of ok.hard to tell. It changed gear a couple of times,once a bit rough.brakes also seem just a bit rough.hard to explain.

as Chris said battery may be flat!....also check battery connections.

If not sort of what Tangles said....get it too someone with a consult II or III. i.e. A Nissan Dealership!

Probably not best, I dont think that plug fits into the obd2 port.

Check all the fuse boxes, all 3, and like Tangles said, disconnect the battery, clean the terminals, and reconnect after a few hours. If you have no joy, Im guessing there is a fault with the BCM? Perhaps try reconnecting all the plugs on it, its under the fuse box in the kick panel.

Agree. Take it to a Nissan Dealership and get them to put it on their Consult 3 (it will tell them in plain English where the issue is)

Just a quick thank you to those who gave me advice.

Because of no garage to work in for the last 3-4 days while we had this horrendous wet spell,i was unable

to look at the car until Yesterday.In fact i went out to the car turned on the ignition and lo and behold it had

cleared itself.I took the car to my mate at Lees mobile mechanical in Caloundra.

I didn't know it, but he has Snap On diagnostic set up and what do you know it had m35 Stagea and most imports on it.

After checking all fuses, connections etc etc, he found no fault codes on the car through his diagnostic scan tool.

He thinks that there was some moisture in the electrics which have had time to dry out.

So good news on 2 counts.

! the car is ok and 2. I have a connection for any one who needs to check out their cars diagnostics

without having to pay through the nose at Mr Nissan.

Once again cheers.
