1996 maxima KS and TCC issues

Hi,

I have found the dreaded service engine light on my '96 Max. I checked the codes and they say that I have a problem with the Knock sensor and the TCC. The dealer says to leave it alone as the car runs great (with 162K km). The dealer has reset the light (turned it off) and so far so good.. My question, has anyone done the TCC (trany problem) fix? The knock sensor the dealer says to leave it alone as the Maximas are prone to this problem code coming up even when things are as they should be.

Thanks.

Although the Max is prone to false KS errors, if it's original it's almost certainly toast. It won't hurt anything and it won't turn on the light by itself, but you will lose significant power as it's running with the timing fully retarded. I'd replace it if it were my car. The TCC I wouldn't worry about unless it comes back. The solenoid pack for that isn't cheap (that's what it usually is in my experience).

Is there any way to verify the Max is running with the timing retarded? (My KS code kicked on with the CmPS code, cleared CEL).
