Try bleeding the p/S oil. On the maxima I have you just put the front end up then turn the wheels hard left and then right. There was a similar sound when the system wasn’t bled right. get the seals in and the sound will probably go away.
I have a whining noise from my pump I’d like to get to bottom of. but that’s an up and coming thread.
That’s what happened on the 2001 Max I drive. They had to grind it off with a grinder. It’s nothing out of the ordinary.
Got it , After the O2 sensors, the update was for the IACV driver. They skipped it then three weeks later the driver blew out taking the sensor with it.
I went to Nissan they tried to lie to me to cover up what Bridgestone didn’t do. I’ve been asking them and I get that there is just NO and I mean NO way not updating the drivers would cause physical damage to the ECM.
Here you see, Make sure you get that reprogram/update that is published for your car. It could be a driver update!
I went through so many things it could’ve been.
Has any of the Techs seen this IACV/ECM issue on these Japanese vehicles?
Apparently there is a coolant bypass from the water outlet into the throttle body to regulate the IACV temperature.
It’s logical that the seal breaks then leaks coolant into the IACV damaging the ECM/IACV all at once.
It’s a HUGE warning to all. You may be put into a Japanese car one day and will have this P0505 issue. This is the worse code besides the P0605 in the 01 Max.
Ft Lauderdale sounds nice! It’s not so bad breaking down there ya know you can just hit the beach until AAA gets there.
Check out the Troubleshooting FAQ section. No Crank/No Start
I haven’t accused anyone over 5 years. I just don’t have enough evidence that this damage was caused by Bridgestone.
I probably never will but I did read that reprogramming fixes bugs that develop into symptoms.
It’s a lot like the higher end 2001 Toyota/Lexus.
It’s not a flash it’s a Server/Host connect update/reprogram.
That’s it, it applies to ECM P/N 5Y010 standard air flow meter. Now it’s 5Y016RE. the other one was fried.
Nissan said it was the electronic engine mounts shorted ECM/IACV circuit.
I want to put it behind me and move on from it but I can’t seem to understand how the motor mount sensor shorted the IACV out. P0505.
I had same issue 2001 Max. You know it’s not just a rubber hose it’s real dynamic. First I’d get a genuine Nissan replacement on that one.
Second I’d consider removing the hoses from the pump if you ever have to slip off the P/S belt again if it is manual tensioner. If you tighten the tensioner screw too much to slip off the belt it may put added stress on the hose creating a bad leak.
Only use high quality replacement oil.
Sounds nice is it loaded?
The days of resetting by disconnecting the battery are over. You may want to check with GM TSBs. Look all of them over very carefully. You may need a reprogram afterwards like it is in my 2001 Max.
Sometimes you need a Sales center computer so go over to GM if that’s the case and get some coffee and make some friends.
Conducting online searches about the issues usually leads me to the common hosts. I’ve literally cut out hours of diagnostics by logging on the web and searching and sifting.
