You need to go to a Kragen/Autozone like parts store and rent an OBDII
reader which will connect to a port near the fuse panel underneath the
steering on the driver's side and pull your error codes, those will
tell you whats wrong with the car. The reader will also reset the
check engine light, but will come back unless you fix the errors from
the error codes, good luck!

Not flaming, exactly, but you should tell him the whole truth...
there's a number of reasons why the dealer is good for this...
Maxima's have problems that can be fixed by flashing the ECU with new
program, there are TSB's that cover these problems. You should ask
the dealer if any of the TSB's are applicable and get the reflash.
Your Maxima may still be in the 80K mile Federal emissions warranty,
but in many cases your car has to fail an emissions inspection because
of the defect that is causing the CEL in order to get coverage. They
should reflash for free if you are failing emissions inspection...
they should repair/replace many other parts too, including oxygen
sensors and cat's.
