battery: "fairly new " doesn't necessarily mean good, even a new battery can be defective.duzzygirl wrote:smj999smj ... I'll have to look into the fuel system further. May be something I'll send it to a garage for. I'm all for changing things out that I can pretty much pop in and out, plug and play so to speak.
eieio ... The battery is fairly new, less than a year. It does restart when warmed up. Though, it has also done it when it was cold. Must have restarted 10 times in a row the other day when it was frigid out and we changed the crank shaft sensor. Thought it was golden, until the next morning. The remote starter is aftermarket. It went in early 2014. Stopped working when I started having problems late 2016/early 2017, which is how long I've been trouble shooting and thinking it's fixed for a month or so then it starts all over ...
Not sure on the TCM.duzzygirl wrote:Had the Pathfinder towed to a shop this week. They too thought it was just the battery. Put a new one in. I told them to sit on it a day. Then, sure enough, they now have issues. They're saying it could be either the ECM or the TCM. Would the TCM have been changed when I had the transmission replaced due to the fabulous coolant issue two years ago?
They actually did that. That's where they started. Thought it may be causing the issue. However, issue persists. So, they then thought it was a security feature issue. Ruled that out. Now they're having me decide to fix either of those or both. We're getting in to some money here. So, I want to make an educated decision. I love this vehicle. I don't want it to not be fixed. I don't want another vehicle. I also don't want to put any more than $1000 more into it. That's kind of my yearly limit after the transmission two years ago.eieio wrote:... I'd be tempted to completely 100% delete the remote start system in it's entirety, and make sure all related connections (anywhere it was connected into your wiring) are clean, intact, and undamaged.
Same here. The last garage disconnected the after market remote starter. The dealership said they noticed that before hooking up the new board. So, outside of that, there’s nothing aftermarket on the system. They’ve run a diagnostic on it twice now. It’s coming up clear/clean/whatever. No codes.eieio wrote:... I'm wondering if another component is somehow damaging the IPDM.

Thankfully, they’re saying trying to figure it out now is warranty work since they worked on it last. Supposed to let me know Monday. Though, when the mechanic said he was dumbfounded yesterday and nothing made sense, it’s not looking good for the old girl.
