I have just make an oil change and my Q's engine calms down.

Well, recently I found my Q's odometer is stuck at 157984 and never increases. I noticed that the A-B trip odometer is working fine. Clock, audio and other electronic device seems good. What's the problem? Fuse?????

A second question, the ACTSUS light is on, and the car is bouncing at rough road. I am not sure if I can change the accumulator to fix it. I ask the mechanic, the labor cost around $900...

The odometers go out sometimes on Qs. not really common but sometimes they do. Sometimes they come back. If you want just swap instrument clusters.

Check your active suspension codes, i wonder if you have low fluid or something.

Called a Nissan dealer, but the guy said he is not sure which fluid it is. I guess he even has no idea about active suspension...

And if it's almost gone, there's a reason - find the leak! That fluid is expensive.

What year is your Q? I have a 95' cluster for sale.

Got the fluid. Filled 1.5 bottle and I can feel some effect... The car bounces more 'predictable'...

However, the ACTSUS light is still on.

Hope take several days to revive the ACTSUS.

Go to the following link and look at page 65. That is how to do the ACTIVE test.

Page 66 tells you what each code means. Let us know what code(s) you get.

I open the door, close it, and light to ON. Then switch N/H for 10 times in 10 seconds.

The ACTSUS light remains there, no flash at all.

Anyway, check the fluid and fill another half bottle in.

Ignition switch to on (car is not running)Switch the N/H 10 times each way so 20 times total in less than 10 secs.Stop at N.Look at your ACTSUS light in the cluster and read the code.

So is the light lit up red and stays lit up? No blinking at all when you do the test?

I had to try mine a few times before I got it right the first time. I wasn't switching back and forth enough.

It lit up yellow and stay on. Actually other lights are also on, including check engine, brake, oil, etc. Height is off, and Cruise Ctrl is off.

These light just stay on or off, no blinking at all.

also make sure you get an active gauge or odomotor. there is a difference between the non-active and active ones!

Takes long time to fill 3 bottle. Now it runs better, I just feel the reaction slowly when touch on bumps.

But the ACTSUS light is still on.

I found there is some leakage on my active fluid system. I remember someone used MMO to fix it. What is MMO?

I guess it is Marvel Mystery Oil, right?

Yes, MVO is Marvel Mystery Oil.

Where are the leaks exactly? Do you know?

Not sure the exact leak position. The drops are just under the cap.

My suspension almost revived. I still need to add small amount of fluid as it goes down several days.
