Hud Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 (edited) I tried the search feature with no avail... On my pathy under the passanger seat there is a little box.. I thought it was a factory amp so I spun the knob around.. Anyway with a closer look I realized that it was something to do with the idle and diagnostics... And also I noticed my check engine light was blinking and coming on everytime I excelerated... So what I did was put it in neautral and gave it gas and spun the knob around until the light went out and it DID... but is this OK????? is there anything else I should do... Thanks....

KevinKernaghan Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Yes! That is one of my favorite features of the WD21 Pathfinder: onboard diagnostics. No more paying some guy to hook up a circuit to your car to tell you what your problems are without actually fixing anything! Somewhere on this forum is a "pinned" list of the procedures regarding those blinking LEDS and the trouble codes you can read from them if anything is wrong. Otherwise, if you think you put the idle speed back close to where it was when you began, then everything should be alright. Keep playing with it to get the idle speed into a smooth range, I believe mine indicates on the tachometer at around 800 or 900 RPM when the engine is fully warmed up. Sorry the searching didn't work, the only thing I would suggest for answers is to search "ECU" or "ECU codes" for more information. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 You got under there and messed with the ECU on accident, eh? Jeez, man. Try to mess with less vital parts of your Pathfinder next time, you may break it without knowing that they cost $1000 from the dealership next time.

94extreme Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 search on here is kind of dead so the best thing is to look through the forums, make sure you adjust the time span to longer then 30 days. the ecu info is in the garage --> how to's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
