Pathfinder Stuck in Transport Mode

Thanks! The battery seems fine, but I haven't done a full diagnostic check yet. Where do I start? Does it require a specific Nissan tool, or can any OBD2 scanner do the trick? Did your similar issue also knock out the navigation system and cause general electrical weirdness? Was it also stuck in transport mode?

Yes, my Pathfinder exhibited similar symptoms, including navigation failure and intermittent electrical issues related to transport mode. A standard OBD2 scanner should retrieve basic codes, but for a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, I suggest consulting a certified Nissan technician. They possess the software to properly diagnose and rectify potential software conflicts and carry out a software refresh to the ECU, which might address the issue.

Okay, I appreciate the advice. I'll schedule a visit to the shop and get a proper diagnostic run. Hopefully, it's just a simple software refresh. Thanks again for sharing your experience!

I own a Pathfinder, and I recall something similar. Transport mode restricts vehicle functions to conserve battery life during shipping. Are you certain that it's not a low battery? A failing 12V battery was the trigger in my case. Have you done a diagnostic check for error codes?
