Micro Short code Altima Hybrid
The Niss dealer diagnosed the checkeng/check Hybrid system light as
"micro short" in the Hyb system (battery??)
The light came on days after the car stopped brake-gen. the rest of the system works fine, the batt charges well, I can go through the car wash in neutral w no prob on batt charge. The car has 20k miles since the light came on, but I cannot pass inspection w/lights on.
Dealer says replace the Hyb Batt. This is a 2007 w/213,000miles
Could the fix be simpler? (replace cell, check connections?...??)
Any Altima-turnatives?? Help!

Good luck and keep us posted. I'm just approaching 100K on our 97 NAH and getting nervous about these types of things starting to show up.

I am not an expert, just someone with some electronics training in my background. Having said that, it seems to me it would just be a circuit board replacement at most, not a battery replacement. I would insist that the Nissan dealer get some technical advice from the corporate tech folks.

Re: Micro Short code Altima Hybrid
When the light comes back on, is the car disabled until you clear it?
