1quikta Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 My DOHC 3.0 2001 Nissan Maxima (auto trans) has a strange sound coming from the front of the engine compartment when turned off. It is related to the "Engine Control #2" fuse. It sounds like an electric motor that will not quit running. Pull the fuse and it is off. I know the active engine mount is controlled off that fuse. Anyone know anything about that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1quikta Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Just wondering if anyone has dealt with the active motor mounts in a 5th gen Maxima. I truthfully haven't had time to deal with it. I sold my wifes SUV and she is driving the Maxima and I can't find any time to check it out. I need to unplug the mount and see if it stops, will do that tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1quikta Posted February 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 I had a TCS light and ABS come on and off today. Also, had my alternator tested, yeah I need a new one of those too. Think it may be the ABS actuator assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Gearhead. I figure that ABS assembly is bad. Now to find a used one. I have to run back to Columbus soon anyway, pick up a 3rd row seat for the new "2006" Denali. It was missing.

dfresh285 Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 its the motor mount, i worked for nissan for about 4 years and saw hundreds of these things come in. every time we saw it come in, we just replaced it if it was under warranty, but i dont know what the problem is or if there is even a problem at all. we saw theses on the maximas and muranos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1quikta Posted February 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Hey dfresh, you are correct. I unplugged it last night and the sound is gone. I have read on the Maxima boards that guys are running with these unplugged and zero issues. How true is this and how hard is the mount to replace/cost? I also had an issue with the charging system. Came up to C'bus last weekend and on the way home the battery and brake lights came on. I stopped at Advance for an in car test and the alternator was suspect. I limped the car home (2.5hrs), if I stayed above 2K RPM it would go off at first, then that was of no use. I took the alt off and had it checked. Two different place checked it out OK, said the belt was slipping. Reinstalled it with a new belt and it fires up at 14.54 volts. Let it run for 5-10 minutes and it drops to 12.04 across the battery and alt terminal both. Does the regulator sound fried? I have time to pull it again this morning, but what a PITA.
