2004 Nissan Pathfinder Owner’s Manual — Questions and Answers

How does the wiper switch work on a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder when first learning the controls?

On a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder, turn the switch clockwise to reach the intermittent, low-speed setting for the wiper or washer. Turning it counterclockwise runs only the washer, and the wiper then cycles several times afterward. For the rear window wiper, it won’t run if the glass hatch is closed while the switch stays on, so you must switch it off then back on, and the hatch itself won’t open while that wiper is running. Owner’s Manual, p. 80

What should I check before installing a car phone or CB radio in my 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

Before installing a car phone or CB radio in a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder, adjust the antenna standing-wave ratio as the manufacturer recommends, connect the CB radio chassis ground wire to the vehicle body, and consult an authorized NISSAN dealer for further details on wiring. Owner’s Manual, p. 161

What supplies do I need for an oil change on a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

For a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder oil change you’ll need enough oil to match your filter choice, plus API-approved oil and a new filter.

• 5-1/4 qt (4-3/8 Imp qt, 5.0 liter) oil if replacing the filter, or 5-1/8 qt (4-1/4 Imp qt, 4.8 liter) if not
• Oil meeting API grade SG/SH, SJ or SL with Energy Conserving rating, or ILSAC GF-I, GF-II or GF-III
• A compatible replacement oil filter
• Reference to the drain and refill steps in the Maintenance and do-it-yourself section

Owner’s Manual, p. 268

How do I know if the low tire pressure warning system is active on my 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

The 2004 Nissan Pathfinder’s low tire pressure warning system only turns on once you’re driving above 20 MPH (32 km/h). It watches every tire except the spare through a sensor built into each wheel, so it stays quiet at parking-lot speeds. Owner’s Manual, p. 258

What’s the maximum time to run the washer on a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

On a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder, you should not operate the washer continuously for more than 30 seconds, and never run it when the reservoir tank is empty, since either action could damage the washer system. Owner’s Manual, p. 80

What fan setting should I use when driving with the back door open on a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

Open all the windows, then set the air recirculation switch OFF and put the fan control at 4 (high) to keep air circulating and reduce exhaust gas entering the cabin. Owner’s Manual, p. 164

What does the blinking SECURITY light mean on a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

This light blinks whenever the ignition switch is in LOCK, OFF or ACC position, showing that the 2004 Nissan Pathfinder’s security systems are working normally. If it stays lit while the ignition is ON, the Nissan Vehicle Immobilizer System is malfunctioning and needs dealer service. Owner’s Manual, p. 79

Where can I find the air conditioning refrigerant specs on a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

The refrigerant and lubricant details are printed on a label referenced under the vehicle identification section, showing HFC-134a (R-134a) refrigerant and Nissan A/C System Oil Type S lubricant. Owner’s Manual, p. 269

When should I expect the interior lights to shut off automatically on a Pathfinder?

Interior, personal, and vanity mirror lights turn off automatically 30 minutes after the ignition switch is turned OFF, or 30 minutes after the last door or lock action. Owner’s Manual, p. 103

How do I turn off the low tire pressure warning light on my 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

On a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder, check the pressure in all four tires and adjust them to the recommended COLD tire pressure listed on the Tire and Loading Information label; doing so extinguishes the low tire pressure warning light. If a spare tire or replacement wheel is fitted, the system stops working, so have your NISSAN dealer service and reset it as soon as possible. Owner’s Manual, p. 204

What precautions should I take before jump starting a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder?

Before jump starting a 2004 Nissan Pathfinder, wear eye protection and remove metal jewelry, avoid frozen batteries, and keep hands clear of the automatic cooling fan. Position vehicles close without touching, set parking brakes, shift to Neutral or Park, turn off electrical accessories, and remove vent caps, covering the battery with a cloth.

1. Wear goggles or safety spectacles and remove rings, metal bands or jewelry
2. Do not attempt to jump start a frozen battery
3. Position the two vehicles close together without letting them touch
4. Apply parking brakes and shift to Neutral (or P for automatic)
5. Switch off lights, heater, air conditioner and other electrical systems
6. Remove vent caps if equipped and cover the battery with an old cloth
