Kamaaina Nissan said the TPMS sensor in one tire was bad and needed to be replaced (but the other three were good), so I paid the $200 to do that. The problem was not fixed, and they again said that one TMPS sensor was bad and the other three were good. I declined to pay $200 a second time because they had lost their credibility. |

The xterra had random computer issues, lots of main electrical harness connection issues, communication errors, my (U1000 codes I believe), the trans computer kicking out, and the trans dash lights flashing. After much research, there was recall for a faulty relay on the main power board (IPDM board) which led me to discover the early generation IPDM boards had enough issues that nissan completely re-engineered the IPDM board but not enough problems to recall it. SO IF YOU HAVE A WHITE FUSE BOARD NEXT TO THE BATTERY REPLACE IT WITH THE NEW BLACK REPLACEMENT BOARD. Install is easy, disconnect the battery, pop the cover off, carefully unplug all the 7 or so car harness plugs, unclip the two clips retaining the board in the box and slide out the old. In with the new board install it as the old one came out. |

The xterra would crank but not start, the battery terminal was loose so the computer was getting a poor signal. This led to the dealership failure to identify the actual problem, and instead diagnosed it as a pump failure, so this costed me the effort to drop the tank and replace a perfectly good fuel pump unit. |
