Armada Won't Start

I've got a 2011 Nissan Armada with a gasoline engine, and it's giving me fits. It just won't start. The mileage is only at 36228 km. I tried a few things, but nothing seems to work. Could it be ECU failure or an ECU issue?

A 2011 Nissan Armada with low mileage wouldn't start, prompting concerns about a potential ECU issue. Initial troubleshooting suggested checking the battery connections, which were found to be loose or corroded. After cleaning and tightening the battery terminals, the vehicle started successfully, resolving the issue without further diagnostics.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

Could be a few things. First, simple question: have you checked your battery connections? Sometimes a loose or corroded connection can prevent the engine from starting. It's like trying to run a marathon with untied shoes – you won't get far.

Yeah, I had a look at the battery. Terminals seemed okay, but I didn’t really give them a proper wiggle. What exactly should I be looking for? Should I check for engine surge? And could it be linked to engine diagnostics?

Okay, "seemed okay" might not be enough. Make sure they're clean and tight. If the connections are good, then yes, a deeper engine diagnostic might be needed. An engine fault, like a faulty sensor, could also prevent starting. If that doesn't work, I'd recommend taking it to a workshop.

Thanks for the tip! Turns out the cable connections to the battery were indeed the problem. Cleaned them up, tightened them down, and she fired right up! Cost me 155€ for the cleanup. Appreciate the help!
