My dads did exactly the same and his is a 2011 190bhp!

He had been cruising at low speeds then went to put foot down, and boom lack of power

Got it to the garage and fault code P0102 MAF sensor/circuit even though there was no engine light

gessing dealer replaced or reset it and been fine since. strange it happened when weather was warm!

 

I put my OBD on it yesterday and found nothing. I'm at my local Nissan dealer for an early oil change today ( I believe in an early oil change on a new engine) and they've found nothing in the diagnostics either. I'd prefer if they had, because then at least I'd have a solid problem to fix. I hate intermittent problems.

I took out my MAF sensor yesterday, checked that there was no dirt or anything on it. Check the wiring etc. Found nothing. All I can do is wait and see if it happens again. At least I have it on record with Nissan that the problem was occurring this early.

 

My dads has been fine ever since, might have just been a bug in the system??

Thing is when i check for the faults with my mate OBD reader, the code wasnt under stored faults, it came under pending faults.

so i cleared the P0102 MAF sensor/circuit fault and then unplugged the maf sensor while the engine was running with the OBD reader still plugged in and the same fault came up again along with P0113 with is the air temp sensor which is part of the maf sensor on the nav and again they stored the faults in "pending faults" on the reader.

 

Just an update on this.

Andy, after you mentioned the MAF sensor, I pulled it off, looked at it. Checked the connections etc. and put it all back together. I've nearly 5000 miles on the clock now and it hasn't happened since. (Touch wood!)

So, hopefully it was just that the connector wasn't seated properly or something. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

:thumbright:

 

I spoke too soon!

On Thursday (day after last post), it happened again. Luckily, I was only 7-8 miles from a good Nissan dealer I know of,so I swung around and headed for there. I kept the engine running to keep it in limp mode. The mechanic took it for a run, and kept it in the garage for about an hour without switching it off. He then took it for another run, and restarted it before turning back to the garage.

The diagnostics brought up the code P102B. I couldn't find this code anywhere on the site, but all of the codes with 102 in them seem to be MAF related. The mechanic told me that it was something to do with exhaust, but that it was caused by the MAF sensor. He said that after restarting, the MAF sensor was reading much higher than it was before.

So I've got my local Nissan garage to order a new MAF sensor and they'll fit it once it has come in. Hopefully, that will be it sorted.

It's good to actually find a problem when you have a problem. :thumbright:

 

Not 100%- but dont the new D40s have a Diesel particulate filter - in the exhaust system, I am sure that a regular thrash keeps this clear - otherwise it goes into limp mode

Andy

 

Thanks, but that's only in the Autos. Mine's Manual. Also, all my driving is long distance, so the DPF should have plenty of chance to clear itself.

Although, now that I think about it, it makes sense after cruising at low speed. I did ask the dealer if the new Manuals still didn't have a DPF and he told me no. I'll bear it in mind.

 

I had this problem at 70mph yesterday on my way from filey it would not go over 70 and died climing up hills
got to hudderfield stopped engine restarted all ok 17500 miles on clock first time this as happened going for first service will let dealer know .
all moterway driveing

 

Once you replace the pressure control valve at the fuel pump it should clear the problem, if not, the fuel rail will have to be replaced too.

 

If you dont mind me asking has your dealer fixed your car? I am pretty sure this is niether a MAF,DPF or fuel pump component fault .Iwould be more inclined to say it would be an exhaust leak or even an ECU mapping issue.Hope this helps

This isn't the same problem as the pressure control valve problem. I've been into the dealer since with it. The error code P102B is the exhaust temperature sensor. I'm waiting for one to come in now, but the mechanic said he doesn't think it's the problem. He got Nissan to check world wide for similar problems. There have been two. One in Switzerland, which was caused by corroded ground wires. He has checked over my whole truck, and that's not what's causing mine. The other one is in New Zealand. They've changed exhaust temp sensor, turbo, MAF sensor, still not solved. They've no idea what's wrong with that one. I hope mine doesn't work out the same.

I know it is niether the pressure cont valve or the ex temp sensor I have had one in my workshop all last week. The fault is intermitant and difficult to reproduce.I have fitted the customers vehicle with a VI and set it up to record data when the fault occurs and returned it back to him. Nissan technical are eager to read the data so they can find a fix for this fault.They beleive it is a ECM mapping issue but are not entirley sure yet until they have colated all the information.
ps this one is in Australia :sunny:

 

I have this lim mode problem the first time i was doing 60 mph with no power flat out at 60
had it checked at dealer no fault found or code
it as now happened three times now on motorways lost power but will hold at 60 mph .
anyone throw any light on this..
plus where do the codes come up

 

I currently have four series4 D40 navaras in my workshop with intermitant limp home mode. All have no DTC,s recorded artycheer:

 

i have same problem, happened 3 times now.2011 model. In dealer yesterday, cant find anyhing or a code. So next time takn it straight to garage in limp mode

Mine's the same. The codes don't show unless the truck is still in limp mode. The EML doesn't come on during the problem, and after a restart, all traces of the problems disappear.

Codes show up on the On Board Diagnostic tool that the dealer plugs into the truck. On the motorway, mine maxed out at 71mph, struggling to get there.

Hi Matey, have the dealers told you what it is yet, as my dads is playing up again and is now giving the same fault code as you!! Cut out on him 4 times today and the code is P102B. again got this code using my mate reader, and the fault was stored under "pending faults" and not "stored faults". no Lights on the dash either.....

 

Sunday my truck would not go past 70mph. Yesterday I took it up to 100mph. I think I have the same problem.

Took my 2011 auto Tekna to the dealer today - nothing, absolutely no codes showed up. They are stumped.

Definitely an electronic issue, but where?

 

Hi guys, been a little while since I've posted on here but ran into some trouble with my Navara again. Sounds the same problem, sticks around 60mph on motorway flat out, limp to services and turn it off for a couple of minutes. Start it up again and away I go. Its happened 6 times now but becoming more frequent. Had it in at Nissan a month or so ago and they also said they cannot find a problem and haven't heard of any others with the same problems. Its in again for its 36k service on saturday and they are looking into this again. If they come up with anything I'll let you know but also if anyone else finds the issue thats causing it can you let me know, much appreciated chaps

 

My 2011 Tekna auto has started doing it today :x

Has anyone got theres fixed or found the problem yet :?:

 

Took my truck to the garage and they said it was a glitch. Apparently if u use the speed limiter sometimes it remembers, even if you have not switched it on and will not let you past the "set" speed.

Simple solution is to switch off, then switch back on.

My dealer also reset the limiter on my truck to zero uses. So far so good.

 

Trouble is that there are a few people on here who have done the switch off then on routine it cures it for a while then comes back, but non mention resetting the limiter to zero uses.

How many miles since yours last did it, and have you used the limiter since (which I might add is a totally stupid addition considering they removed the increase tickover speed switch)

:cheers2:

Hi Mate

Has your limp mode problem been sorted yet :?:

 

Has anyone with this limp mode problem got it sorted yet :?: :?:

:cheers2:

 

I have only had my truck for 2 weeks, but have now done just over 1k miles. The truck is second hand and had already covered 2k miles. The glitch happended once.

When the garage scanned the truck with the laptop it showed the limiter had been used once and it certainly was not set by me. The garage reset the limiter use to zero and there has not been a problem since. They also checked for software updates for the ECU but there were not any.

Fingers crossed.
