    On especially older model Nissan vehicles with driveability incidents it is a good idea to also check near ecm’s main harness connector for any signs of moisture penetration.Plugged hvac drain tubes,replaced windshields urethane seal leaks,etc.A lot of times no dtc present and you may be stumped.

    Hey buddy I have done several dumb things in almost 40 years of tooling.A lot of times I use cost and time as an excuse.Like you said your Dad said (mine too)If it’s worth doing at all it is worth it to do it correctly. :ohmy:

    The only thing I can tell you as a Nissan Tech is that yes we can put Nissan only Vin# into our system and get any done and undone recalls pertaining to it.Possibly you can go to NHTS website and get a list for your vehicle. 🙂

    Did not like school work and decided to join US Army in my senior year of high school in 1975.After taking the incoming aptitude tests,was told I had three strong points that I could choose from for my army career.
    Electrician,mechanic or clerk.Well other than driving a 68 beetle, didn’t know much about working on them.No one in the family line was a mechanic,so I chose this field.After three years of active service I decided to get back into civilian life and found work close to home.An Independent shop with the Firestone sign up on the highway.Fifty fifty tire/general repairs for fifteen years.This place grew from 12 stores to over 100 in that period.I grew tired of the politics there and went to work at independent Goodyear shop.Had a good friend there who had joined on as our shop manager.He grew tired of their demands on the shops gross work totals so he left and went to Infiniti dealership.Then about a year later he called me and told me there was an opening for a B Tech.I took the position and had been there six years then moved over to Nissan.Have been there since 2006.I am old and tired,my finger joints throb with pain most often than not,but I know of nothing more to do for employment and really fulfillment.I’m lucky to flag forty hours per week but I am happy.
