I have a 98 Maxima SE, 87000 kilometers or so on it. recently, my
SERVICE ENGINE SOON check light came on (the orange one on the right
side of the instrument cluster) . No perceptable change in the
running of the car. Took it to my mechanic and he scanned it. Came
up with a code of 1706. But he can find no reference to it. In his
code book, he had codes 1704, 1705, 1707, 1708 .... 1750. All to do
with Automatic transmissions. I have a standard. He also phoned two
other places to see if they had seen this code before. Nobody he
talked to had seen it.

Anyway, he reset the code and it has stayed out. He recommends taking
it to a Nissan dealer if it happens again.

Anybody out there had a similar experience or do you know what the
code might mean?

Thanks
