I just had the code P0420 come up with the SES light in my 2001
Maxima, and from some reading online it seems that there's a TSB to
handle this. The problem is that my car has over 80k miles and the
dealer told me that it would cost over $300 to service the TSB. Is
that a reasonable charge or is there a way I can do this myself or for
cheaper?
Thanks,
Dave

no its not, but you do not have a choice - only a dealer can reflash
the ECU program (new program sets the trip point for this code
higher).

You might be having some O2 sensor issues to...

The light actually just went off, so I think that it probably just
needs the ECU reprogram to avoid these false alarms, but is there
something that I can do to check the O2 Sensor or make sure that there
isn't a real problem?
Thanks,
Dave
