P1283 Nissan Code - Air Fuel Ratio Sensor 1 Lean Shift Monitoring Bank 2

I've already replaced an o2 sensor on my 04' Altima. still get service light
 

If you replaced the A/F sensor (O2 sensor) the "Mixture Self-Learning" needs to be cleared. Instruction for your Altima here: http://nissanhelp.com/diy/a...

I'm getting a "cat" code after replacing one last year. Now the other one evidently has gone bad. I've talked to a muffler shop and he points out that it may not be the catalytic converter. Any help?

What exactly "Cat" code are you getting? what model and year is your Nissan?

Replaced a/f sensor twice, went to nissan and got relearn done twice. I've spent over $300.00 and still have the code p1283.

What model and year is your Nissan? Check for exhaust or intake leaks. Any small leaks could cause that problem.

I Just replaced the bank 1 cat and now I have a P1283 DTC HELP ME. Ihave a 2005 Nissan Quest S 3.5.

You should start by inspecting the catalytic converter installation, either there is an exhaust leak or the sensor was damaged during the installation. Before you do any repair, try clearing the code by disconnecting the car battery for about 30 min.

I replace the 4 cats, the 4 Oxigen sensor of my nissan pathfinder 05 and the camshaft and cranshaft sensor and had to repkave again the sensor 1 bank 2 because the VDC OFF light and SLIP light still coming back. And on the computer appear the code P1283.

VDC OFF light and SLIP should have nothing to do with this code. You need to get the code from the VDC control unit.

For the P1283 code, replacing the front oxygen sensor usually take care of the problem, but if the problem persists you have four possible cause:
1. Damage Oxygen Sensor (which is not unusual, happens all the time)
2. Intake leak, make sure all the vacuum hoses are connected and not damage (especially on Bank 2)
3. Fuel injectors (which is also common in the Pathfinder). You could try cleaning the fuel injectors by adding a fuel additive.
4. Broken wire from the sensor to the ECM

hey i have a 2004 nissan maxima 3.5 with dtc code p1283 i have no air leaks and just recently was driving and the car was hesitating and my rpm needle was going up and down like crazy it kinda felt like it wanted to shut off and my battery light came on and off for maybe 3 sec

Any other codes besides the P1283? The battery light came ON because the engine almost stall, so don't worry about that light. The P1283 code is for the Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor, but that sensor shouldn't cause the engine to hesitate or stall. The problem is more than likely something else, but if is not consistence, you may have problem trying to figure out he cause. I recommend to just visual check the engine for loose hoses, make sure the battery terminal are clean and tight and then clear the code for now.

The VDC OFF light and SLIP light is A) The Angle sensor located by the air bag
B) Break problems change the pad or check of the are good, the break fluid level
C) VDC sensor at the Master Cylinder by side the breaking pump, there's a sensor down the break fluid that maybe need to clean with contact cleaner the connection :)

I have 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 SE. It's showing me P1283 and P0328, also i'm seeing VDC OFF, SLIP, BREAK and ABS lights on there, sometimes I see Check Engine sign as well but it comes and goes away. Please Help !!

The P0328 is for the Knock sensor (https://www.autocodes.com/p... , the knock sensor won't trigger any lights or cause any other symptoms.

The P1283 code is for Air Fuel Ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 2. This sensor can trigger the Engine Light, but not all the one warning light you have. There must be some other problem that is triggering all the other warning lights.

Hi, i have a 2005 Nissan Armada and I recently replaced my right and left catalyst converter plus both o2censor, and the only code that is reading everytime is p1273&p1283, and my check engine light is on. What are those codes and where is the problem coming from?

Did you replaced the front or rear Oxygen sensors? The codes are for both front Oxygen sensors. Since you got the codes after the catalytic converters, first check the sensor connection, otherwise you may have to replace the sensor

Hi,i have nissan xterra 2005 2wd ,i had the code p1283 ,i changed the catalityc,i changed the sensor (bank 1 sensor2) ,i ixed a leak and i still have the code ,the nissans cars are so bad ,i don't know what to do?

Did you clear the Mixture Ratio Self-Learning Control Data after installing the sensor?

Instructions here: https://www.nissanhelp.com/...

No,the mechanic changed a sensor yesterday (pasenger side ) because the tester show up p1283 ,now today the engine light come back ,i come back to the mechanic and he put it the scanner again and show the same code p1283 and now he say that i have to change the sensor that goes on the driver side

Try do the clearing first. There is even a factory service bulletin for that problem. You can also disconnect the car battery for about 45 minutes.

But if i isconect the baterry will i need to change the sensor that goes in the driver side? Do i have to do it?

No, you shouldn't have to replace the other sensor. In my opinion is not a good diagnosis, one bad sensor wont affect the other one.

I had the p0420 code, replaced the cat on the passenger side, code went away, now I have the p1283 code. While I was under there, the other components (driver side cat and both side rear cats) looked fairly rusted. Was thinking this could be an exhaust leak. Already replaced the intake plenum, and the front driver side a/f sensor. Replaced both sensors on the passenger side when replacing that converter. Replaced with a carb compliant model. Was hoping I would have less hesitation if I fix the potential exhaust leak or plugged converter situation. Maybe the back pressure can cause other issues I have felt like a slipping after throttling and transmission shifting errors at times, was concerned that my a.c.compressor may also need a new pulley which could have similar effects. When the vehicle is under load, it makes a scratchy squeal from the drivers side of the engine.(a.c. compressor idler pulley area, idler pulley replaced) was also thinking maybe the internal water pump, maybe the blades wore down?

What model and year is your Nissan?
I suggest checking the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor for debris blocking the sensor and the air filter. Debris on the MAF could cause an hesitation and set the P1283 code.

I have a 2005 Nissan Pathfinder. I will try to clean the sensor with mass airflow cleaner and replace the air filter, but I feel as though there may be an exhaust leak causing the unmetered air to enter the system. Just not exactly sure why the computer would add more fuel if this issue happens after the combustion chamber. I guess it doesn't understand where the leak is, but you would think if it made the car run rough and hesitate, the computer would recalculate and determine that the leak past the engine shouldn't cause the vehicle to add more fuel. I will try to get all the issues taken care of. Probably will just replace all the rusted catalytic components and use the appropriate gaskets and o ring seals to seal everything properly. Then maybe wrap the joints in muffler tape and spray it all with a rust preventative high temp paint.

but I feel as though there may be an exhaust leak causing the unmetered air to enter the system.

No air can enter into the engine through the exhaust system.
If there is an exhaust leak before the front oxygen sensors (Air/Fuel (A/F) Ratio Sensors), the sensors will calculate a lean ratio, thus the ECM will add more fuel to the combustion.
So, if the exhaust leaks is before the A/F Sensors, then the ECM will set the code, otherwise the exhaust leak has nothing to do with the code.

Thank you. So I guess my best course of action would be to clean the maf sensor and look for brittle hoses or other sources of air, maybe install new exhaust coverter and header gaskets. Or replace the cats all together. Oem would be like 1700 for three of the 4 components. Walker carb compliant cats are 700 for the 3. I should try that technique with the soapy water and pressured air into the tail pipe to see if I can find it closer to the a/f sensor. If the air got in behind the combustion, but before the a/f sensor on the 3 way catalyst, could this cause similar symptoms as air intake leaks after the maf?

Yes, ti could cause similar symptoms.

So I just put in a new upstream 02 sensor last night and cleared the code, drive it for about 50 miles the it came back
