I drove to the local shopping center last night, was there for about an hour, then came out and my truck wouldn't start. At first, even the dome lights would barely come on. I was eventually able to get it jumped, and got it home. The battery is less than 1.5 years old.
I noticed a lot of corrosion on the positive battery terminal clamp. I disconnected the positive & negative terminal clamps, cleaned it up a bit, and put both terminals back on the battery and tightened them on. Once doing this, the truck started right up, but with a bit of an erratic idle to relearn the idle I assume. I let it run for a minute or two, then restarted. This time on the 2nd restart, my service engine light comes on and pushing the accelerator pedal does nothing, and the truck just idles somewhat roughly around 1,000 RPM. It doesn't rev at all when pushing the gas.
I took off the battery terminal clamps again, and there is still a bit of corrosion on the positive terminal clamp, so my wife drove me to the Nissan dealer and I picked up a replacement positive terminal this morning (part # 24340 - 7F00). Is it possible that the somewhat corroded clamp is snug on the terminal, but causing issues to the computer, resulting in no acceleration and a check engine light? The truck always seems to start up just fine, but I can't move.
Tonight, I should know if the new terminal replacement fixes the issue. If not, I will likely need to have it towed to the dealer.
