Error Code PO650 - Can anyone please help?

[hp435]

I have had my 2001 GT300 (here in Australia) since 2013. During that time, the VDC dash light remains on permanently and my engine light never comes on even on ignition.

When I had problems with oxygen sensor, neither independent mechanic or Nissan mechanic could source the cause of these problems or the Nissan Error Code PO650 which is described as 'MIL/CIRC.'  I am hoping that someone has come across these problems and error before who will let me know so I can finally work out what to do. Thank you,

That took literally two seconds on google

I would say thank you but for your sarcasm that was simply not necessary, typical macho/ego 'man' eh?

As the Nissan mechanic told me he searched everywhere and made calls I again made the stupid mistake of trusting I was being told the truth, stupid.... stupid.....

Never trust anything until you can see it for yourself............

I didn't think Cal was being overly sarcastic, just a bit of tough love, and you should probably take this as a valuable lesson.  Try the internet, then try searching on SAU, then ask.  And don't forget, at least he took the time to answer you.  I bet you won't forget now!!!

Oh and I'd change mechanics while I was at it

I'd start with checking the bulb, it's likely missing or burned out, and it's possible VDC comes on because the MIL globe is not working (since you obviously can't show a failure of the MIL light using the MIL light).  So best case, nothing is wrong at all except that.  I take it there is no sign of any problem except the lights and the P0650 using the scan tool.

And Callan thanks for the link, I never realised OBD codes were common (although it makes sense, since they are designed to allow non manufacturers to service cars).  I assume not all codes are common to all cars though because many cars have specific or even unique functions.

This site is not for people to do the work for you, it is to get help. It takes less time to search than to create a thread, and you already had all the information you needed. Maybe it was a bit harsh, but in fairness, it was the first or second result on google on my first search attempt

You'd be surprised what you can find on google
