I couldn't get back to the car, but the independant auto electrician tried to clear the codes and they came straight back, so the K12 went to Nissan for a new ECU, £1250 plus the fees for towing it, getting the independant auto electrian to diagnose ! :( They got it back on monday working properly.

hi all, can anyone walk me through step by step how to remove the ECU from a K12 please?

you guys may have saved my poor old folks hundreds possibly thousands here. Thanks so much. I'll keep it updated as to how I get on!

that was my first thought! Is an ECU the same from any K12 of the same litre etc? I have my doubts that the diagnosis is right to be honest.

My parents got the K12 tested by an autoelectrician who said the codes reported weren't the root cause of the fault. He thinks the ECU itsself has broken (!!) and he'd prefer they get one fitted by a Nissan dealer (quoted £1100 for the ECU alone) What do you think about this? I have to be...

I can clear the codes yea, but didn't realise clearing the codes would help? I assumed if the car could now start then it would regardless of logged faults in the ECU? How does it stand on this?

Hi all, I'm posting on behalf of my parents who have a K12 which cut out on them after driving on some wet roads on Saturday. Their K12 cut out on them, and the RAC turned up, and read off error codes of P2122, P2138 and P1229. They all seem to relate to throttle sensors, has anyone ever...

I cant suss out how to include pictures inside the post, I might not be allowed due to not being a paid member.

Thanks for all the help guys, and for all the help everyone's given me in the past.... I've decided to sell my Micra. It now has a new home up in Huddersfield. I was gutted to see it go but didn't have the time to get to the bottom of the problem, and needed a car to get to work. The guy...

hi all, does anyone know which fuse it is likely to be and in which fuse box it is please?

thats a very kind offer, cheers mate. I'll let u know what happens tomorrow.

how much would you want for your throttle body? I'm thinking at the moment this might be last chance for my Micra :( If I can firstly test the injectors for a connection as has been described in this thread, then if that doesn't work if I can get hold of a throttle body cheap enough I could ask...
