Check engine light by model year
What owners say
While driving on a highway at approximately 55 MPH, my engine stalled. I lost all engine power to my truck, with no error codes, no check engine light. I had to place my truck in neutral while at speed in traffic in the left lane and coast to a safe location on the right shoulder. During this time, I had no power steering or power brakes. After I safely stopped on the shoulder, I tried to restart my engine. My engine would not start. Approximately one month prior to this incident, my truck had intermittently stalled while stopped, with an error code that pointed to an ineffective catalytic converter. I had my mass air flow sensor replaced, my ECM relay replaced, and my catalytic converter replaced, at a cost of ~ $5000 total. I am now told the intelligent power distribution module is likely the culprit for all of these problems, which will cost me another $700 to replace. In researching previous recalls, there is an existing recall for the ECM relay, but not the ipdm module. It appears in other titan forums that several other people have suffered from the same issue.

I was having an issue with my engine stalling with around 97,900 miles on my 2005 nissan titan. At this time, my check engine light also came on. I took it to the dealership to get the problem code read and they said I had faulty bank 1 and bank 2 catalytic converters. The dealer said the stalling was due to a recall, the federal safety agency campaign id number: 10v517000. My complaint is that I had no problem with my catalytic converters until this recall issue. Since my catalytic converters and exhaust manifold are one piece, it cost $2,827.28 to have them replaced and I do not feel I should have to pay this, since this problem stemmed from their recall issue.
Rear axle seal on my 2005 nissan titan leaking dealership said rear axle seal was leaking replaced seal, bearing and spacer in june 2010 that was drivers side rear axle now experiencing noise and differential problems in the front end in february 2011, wheel bearing and hub replaced noise and vibration still present had the vehicle in under warranty for clunking the front end when beginning to drive and was told it was the anti-lock brakes going through the self check. Axle seal went bad at 52,000 miles was told by dealer I was lucky I noticed the problem prior to rear differential burning up. Problem noticed because check engine light was on and was problem with the control valve on my fuel system. Truck was out of warranty between the two it was 780 dollars to repair and now my problems are worse. After normal maintenance vehicle was spilling out fluid from overflow tube. Dealership said they overfilled front differential and there would be not problem. First problem at 52000 with rear differential seal now front is going bad..

Engine and engine cooling
- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 armada, titan, infiniti qx56 and model year 2005-2006 frontier, pathfinder and xterra vehicles. The intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ECM) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ECM relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ECM relay contact due to arcing.
- Risk
- This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the ECM relay inside the ipdm assembly. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 6, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
