How do you remove the SERVICE VEHICLE sign where how many miles are on the car is located.

service engine light blinks real fast , check engine lights flash when vehicle has a severe engine misfire ,A severe catalytic converter damaging misfire .

have code checked for check engine -the service light and the check engine may be a coincidence but the service are just reminders and the check engine is a problem that the vehicle onboard diagnostics computer found and is letting you know about so most auto stores can scan your vehicle for free and the code will be your start point towards repairing or solving your problem

rotten egg smell usually means catalytic converter is bad and is probably plugged causing the vehicle to idle rough

This sounds a lot like a bad TDC (Top Dead Center) sensor. Of the many sensors on this model vehicle, the TDC sensor failure is common and is one of the few sensor failures that will disable your vehicle.

just get the vehicle scanned, its probably just a malfunctionig o2 sensor, or somethin along that line

I assume you have no check engine light, or service engine soon light on.
Start with the fuel filter that should be replaced every 30,000 miles.
The filter is located under the vehicle between the the fuel tank and engine.

If you just put gas in the vehicle it may be as simple as not tightening the gas cap tight enough. This would trip for emissions and cause check engine light to come on. Worth a shot! Tighten the cap and drive see if goes off. Could also be carbon build up blocking the egr valve. Since an older person had the vehicle prior and likely didnt get on the gas much this would build up.

HI. the check engine light will illuminate when a sensor fault is detected. all sensors on your vehicle work in conjunction with the CPU on board. they relay information for the CPU to process. this information allows the CPU to initiate certain actions like fuel pump operation and proper charging of the battery and proper coolant flow as well. if one of the vital sensors start to malfunction and cant send and receive any information to the cpu, it will launch a self diagnostic alert , which is this check engine light. This will become illuminated to inform you of some sort of malfunction within the engine itself. the best thing now is to take this vehicle to the dealership for a quick scan. Once the problem is found, they can fix it and shut off the check or service engine light.

As for the life span of a Nissan transmission, these builds will last quite a while if you take good care and preform proper maintenance. The the normal life span of a typical mini van transmission is 100,000 miles. This nissan's transmission should get about 120,000 or more. The key to a long life span of a transmission is good care and proper maintenance like, changing the filters regularly and flushing the contents as well as changing the fluid every 60,000 miles.

SIGNS OF TRANS failure
Slippage of any gear cycle.
Hard shifting and abnormal grinding during gear changes on a hill.
Miss shifts.(not being able to shift on time or sticking in a certain gear over the rpm rate)
Black transmission fluid or metal fragments inside the transmission pan.
Gear shift slipping out of drive or reverse is a failure point as well.


Please rate and god bless:)

If the check engine light has been coming on you could take it to an Advance Auto Parts store and they can run the codes for you for FREE and tell you why the light is coming on. That way you or whoever is not just guessing so you are not replacing parts not needed which can get expensive. Sounds like it could be as simple as a tune up but could also be a sensor of some kind which there are several that could cause your problem. MAP sensor, Mass Air Flow sensor, throttle position sensor just to name a few.

Please check the level in your transmission fluid indicator. This is located in the engine compartment.

How many miles does this 2007 vehicle have on it?

Is this vehicle still under warranty? If so, I would call for service immediately, and not do anything to void your warranty rights (other than checking for obvious signs of a problem)

Let me know how you progress!
