noely1 Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 umm usually if a code has been loggeed the check engine light will come on... there are some threads on here on how to check fault codes urselfff if your not to handy with that sort of stuff (its preety straight forward) the hardest bit is reading the codes lol... u cud get nissan to scan it for you and any fault codes that are logged will be found and the u can find a guide as to what each code number means somewhere on here... for example code 21 is ignition circuit i think (just as an example) have a search around these threads but as i said usually if thers a fault code... the check engine light will come on man Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/307025-car-loosing-power/#findComment-5073818 Share on other sites More sharing options...

timr32gts Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 going to try check fault codes tomorrow morning but for easy reading what is happening is Engine light is on when stoped in D (Drive) when accelerate starts going reallly slow from 1000-2000 revs When i put it in 1st accelerated as it normaly did and works fine After accelerating in 1st i change it back to Drive and it works fine above 2000 revs and accelerates normal again. On a hill stoped in drive when i go 2 take off it just revs and i don't move at all just sits there inless i put it in 1st i take off normal. After cruising in drive when going up a hill at 60 it starts loosing power and drops to like 20 kms even tho i was accelerating just revs and just keeps going slower..

FTO Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) "I was accelerating just revs and just keeps going slower" When the CEL light comes on it goes into limp mode..looses power, but going on what you said above, sounds like your auto trans is on the way out.
