Here is the definition. Cost would depend on your area and the actual problem found after testing.

P1800 NISSAN Description When the engine is running at low or medium speed, the power valve is fully closed. Under this condition, the effective suction port length is equivalent to the total length of the intake manifold collector's suction port including the intake valve. This long suction port provides increased air intake which results in improved suction efficiency and higher torque generation.
The surge tank and one-way valve are provided. When engine is running at high speed, the Engine Control Module (ECM) sends the signal to the Variable Intake Air System (VIAS) control solenoid valve. This signal introduces the intake manifold vacuum into the power valve actuator and therefore opens the power valve to two suction passages together in the collector.
Under this condition, the effective port length is equivalent to the length of the suction port provided independently for each cylinder. This shortened port length results in enhanced engine output with reduced suction resistance under high speeds.

SOURCE: 2002 nissan maxima, check engine

About DTC P1800, I suggest check the harness and verify it is plugged in and still functioning. Also, try checking your vac tubes to verify that they are not reversed. Also read this TSB with details about correct diagnostic: DTC P1800 VIAS CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE

The VIAS control solenoid valve cuts the intake manifold vacuum signal for power valve control. It responds to ON/OFF signals from the ECM. When the solenoid is off, the vacuum signal from the intake manifold is cut. When the ECM sends an ON signal the coil pulls the plunger downward and feeds the vacuum signal to the power valve actuator.

DTC detecting condition:
• An excessively low or high voltage signal is sent to ECM through the valve
Possible cause:
• Harness or connectors (The solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted.)
• VIAS control solenoid valve

Will need replaced the solenoid valve (P/N - 149558J10A). The valve is located under the engine cover. It's a Nissan only part so you have to order from the dealer, either online or in person. It's cheaper online. Check this sample Nissan engine location (click image for zoom)...

DTC P1147 - Bank1 Sensor 2 O2 sensor maximum voltage monitoring
Component Description: The heated oxygen sensor 2, after three way catalyst, monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas on each bank.

Even if switching characteristics of the heated oxygen sensor 1 are shifted, the air fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric, by the signal from the heated oxygen sensor 2.

This sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates voltage from approximately 1V in richer conditions to 0V in leaner conditions. Under normal conditions the heated oxygen sensor 2 is not used for engine control operation.

DTC detecting condition: The maximum voltage from the sensor is not reached to the specified voltage.

Possible cause:
Harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted)
Heated oxygen sensor 2
Fuel pressure
Injectors

Majority of cases this is either a faulty O2 sensor, or short/open in wiring harness. Bank1 sensor2 is the rear O2 sensor on the passenger (right) hand side (click image for zoom):

zjlimited_50.png

Here is simple test with voltmeter to test O2 sensor. If it fails test, replace sensor. If not, then you will have to start tracing the wiring harness for a short/open in it (click for zoom):

My 05 Altima 3.5L popped up ABS, O2sensor, P1800 &P1273 frm the Auto Scan what do these mean & how to fix them?

P1800 is the VIAS system. Most likely the intake runner control vacuum actuator is defective. Where did you get the ABS info?
P1273 NISSAN - Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Bank 1 Lean Shift Monitoring.
Possible causes - Faulty Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1
-Intake manifold or vacuum hose leaking (check this first)
- Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
- Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
- Fuel pressure
- Faulty Fuel injector
- Faulty Air Flow Meter
If all seems ok then replace the cylinder bank number one O2 sensor and the bank two sensor, replacing only one sensor can lead to another check engine light. These are the sensors before the catalytic converter.

2-3 shift solenoid circuit

P0758 Chevrolet P0758 Chevrolet - 2-3 Shift Solenoid Circuit Electrical
Possible causes
- Low transmission fluid level
- Dirty transmission fluid
- Faulty 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve
- 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve harness or connectors
- 2-3 Shift Solenoid Valve circuit is open or shorted
What does this mean? When is the code detected?
When the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a continuous open, short to ground or short to power in the 2-3 Shift Solenoid (SS) valve circuit, then DTC P0758 sets.
Possible symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
- Transmission will not shift gears
P0758 Chevrolet Description
The 2-3 Shift Solenoid (SS) valve controls the fluid flow acting on the 2-3 shift valves. The 2-3 SS valve is a normally-open exhaust valve that is used with the 1-2 SS valve in order to allow four different shifting combinations. The solenoid attaches to the control valve body within the transmission. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) controls the solenoid by providing the ground path.

Hi i have 02 altima 3.5 v6 who have check engine light with code p1800 what is manufactured transmission control can anyone help me what that means?

You may want to have someone else take a look at it. The Nissan P1800 trouble code is not a transmission control problem. It is described as follows:

Trouble diagnosis name: VIAS control solenoid valve circuit.
Component Description:
The VIAS control solenoid valve cuts the intake manifold vacuum signal for power valve control. It responds to ON/OFF signals from the ECM. When the solenoid is off, the vacuum signal from the intake manifold is cut. When the ECM sends an ON signal the coil pulls the plunger downward and feeds the vacuum signal to the power valve actuator.
DTC detecting condition:
•An excessively low or high voltage signal is sent to ECM through the valve.
Possible cause:
•Harness or connectors (The solenoid valve circuit is open or shorted.)
•VIAS control solenoid valve

Check your vacuum hoses to make sure they are in good shape and are securely attached Aslo check the wiring harness is ok and securely attached as well. If they are, you’ll probably need to replace your VIAS. It's right next to the throttle body.
