Before I delve into how this problem went away, thought id give a quick update on how my trip to the mechanic(s) have gone.
One thing is for sure, mechanics do NOT like hapless customers showing up with Nissan NTBs in hand. It kind of screws with their worldview where you come in, they give you a rundown on all thats wrong with your car and needs a fixin, and you just swallow your pride and submit.
This one guy i went to went as far as asking me where the hell i got the NTB from, and he looked real concerned, he then gave me whole spiel about how although its great theres an NTB which i think specifically solves my specific error code problem with clear directions and workflows from Nissan itself, since he was really experienced hed prefer to run through his battery of tests including the smoke machine etc etc and there was 'a lot of other diagnostics he would have to run' so 'why dont i drop off the car over a couple of days he would check it out'.
I dont know, but sounded a lot like a union guy. not the good kind either.
I hate to rag on the mechanic, im sure some of what he said was legit, but i dont enjoy the feeling when someone gets defensive and will just go into some sort of vague response mode. The fact is, i respect a mechanics ability and trust it more than i do mine - Id even prefer a mechanic to do what i could do, but with his expert hands. But dont BS me.
