Hi guys-

I have a 2013 Altima with 50,000 miles on it with a Check Engine Light illuminating, took it to an independent shop and had it scanned and came up with code P0101. Obviously the shop would diagnose it further for a small fee and the sensor is $300+, but I did some googling and learned it is a common issue with 2012 Altima's and the ECM needs to be reprogrammed by the dealer. I read the TSB #NTB12-051B but it only lists model year 2012 and not 2013. I know that the warranty that covers this is 8yr/80,000 miles but what do I tell the dealership when I call them to avoid any 'diagnosing' fees so they can cut straight to the repair? Since I cannot find any 'official' publishing about this code online for 2013 models.

-Thanks
