Engine Light

[Dr Gary]

The OBDII on the 2006 3.0 DDi is not standard, so need a Scangauge or similar if you want to check the 2006. Pain in the posterior!!

Hi mate, may be a good idea to post up an introduction before asking for assistance, just gets everyone on side from the start

Well I filled in the rest of my profile? and am just seeking help with the above problem as my husband is in hospital and I am just after some assistance to sort this. I am sorry if I am not following correct protocol?

what Doggy is saying is, go to the Introductions , and tell us a little about yourself, hubby, Patrol, what you like doing with it etc

it just helps people be nice and friendly etc


we all understand that not everyone is computer literate, but its nice to know a little about people and their car if your trying to help

dont be stressed, but it would be nice - thats all



I could suggest taking the MAF sensor out and cleaning it, but........ dont know enough about your Patrol..........?

Thank you! The light is now off again after disconnecting battery as per advice.
I am actually nice & friendly and super busy & computer literate and thought I posted a very polite request for help in the correct area. What I like doing is driving my Nissan without an engine light coming on - that is all 😊. I was just seeking advice not new friends - I am too boring for that.

Hiya fbpatrol,

Don't go spending big bucks without a 2nd or 3rd opinion as most of the CEL (check engine light) faults will either reset if the battery is disconnected or are faulty indications.
A "big" fault is usually the CEL accompanied with the Car coming to a halt, blowing a ton of smoke or refusing to start.
That is why it really helps to know what fault codes are showing up.
Dealers will just look up the Nissan Book and if it says "Code 1234 replace fuel pump" thats what they do but the mob here will know a lot of other things to check first if you can give the codes.
I'm assuming your 2006 is probably a 3.0Di so many of the OBD scanners you see advertised, Scangauge etc won't work (needs to be a GU series V with Common Rail engine for them).
Hopefully the guys who know the Di will have the best recommendations.
