    Knock sensor location

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Is it the 325 code? I have had the 325 on for about a year and it alone won't turn the ses light on. Its just one of those codes that gets stored and noticed when something else triggers the ses.

     

    Same as me, it's supposed to be the "heated rear O2 sensor". Mine comes & goes depending on the fuel level :shrug: I replaced my evap canister & valve, O2 sensor is next.

     

    Light Bulbs,Off-Road Lights,Headlights, What are you using on your R50?

    Hids work fine if you use the right temp (color) under 5000k anything over is useless in the wet . Under 5000k is in the white to yellow spectrum the lower you go 3000k being quite yellow and 4300k being white.

     

    I used to use the common 6300 to 6500k and found in the wet it was like using a candle useless so swapped to 4500k, which is almost as white as led if you can get 4300k grab them as they are generally spot on to led color temp and excellent.

    I have the 6500k's & you are correct sir..... @!*%e in the wet. I'll get the 4500k's next time.

     

    Swapped my KCs for a 24" LED bar, more usable light...I don't need to see 500ys down the road.

    No, it won't fit. I have one from a WD21 sitting in my garage right now if anyone wants it. The hinges are totally different & all the latches, etc, too. I was lucky & mine originally had a swing out but a previous owner had switched it for the underneath carrier. I still had the bolts & all the catches, etc, that fit on the body, so all I needed was the carrier itself. If yours didn't originally come with a swing out your rear panel probably isn't strong enough to support a carrier, the panel was reinforced on the ones with the carrier. If yours didn't originally come with a carrier, you're better off fabing a custom bumper with a carrier attachment. I believe there's a few places you can buy one all ready to fit, Tactical Armor Group is one place. If yours did originally have a carrier, hit the wrecking yards for an early R50, it's surprising how many had swing outs. A member from up north found one in a wrecking yard, bought it & shipped it to me for less the $150 I think.

    When I cleaned my TB I had an idle of about 2,000 for a few days while the ECU "relearned" the settings. I was also getting a knock sensor code & a "rear heated oxygen sensor" code. Both of these now come & go as the fuel level goes up & down, not in any regular way but just random on & off. Car runs great though. Hope you get it sorted.

    Thanks. It's actually a bumper for an XJ Cherokee, you have to cut the brackets & bend the edges (under the parking lights) out a little & it will fit. I like it because it's a really small bumper height wise & I wanted something minimal instead of a big arsed Tac Armor Group bumper or something similar. I'll get some photos together & make a build thread.

    Stick with 15" rims as PrestonBurns says, you want the max sidewall on a small rim for froading.

     

    I still have my 31x10.5x15 Kelly Safari AT's with a 2" lift. They're pretty good for off road, I got mine for $100 each plus fitting. Once I get my SFD I'm going with at least 33's if not bigger.

     

    I also agree with nismotr, tires & lift first, manual hubs are also a good idea if you want better mpg & less wear & tear on your "weak-compared-to-solid-axle" cv joints & drive shafts.

    PS. Don't worry about the bolt, whenever I work on my vehicle I always have a box full of nuts & bolts left over! :laugh: :laugh:
