charlesazeh: pls help....my Nissan Maxima keeps burning my coil, since i changed my brainbox...what can i do? pls ur advice When you changed the ECU was the ECU from the same car and model and engine size what the reason you changed the original ECU |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by nissparts(m): 11:40pm On May 04, 2013 |
On second thoughts, check the ground cable connection from the battery to the transmission. If it looks funny at all, change it completely. There is a higher chance your issue is grounding related than a fusebox issue. |

run a second ground cable from ur negative batt terminal to the chassis/frame of the car...make sure u fix it to the unpainted part and use a thick strong cable |

Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by cretin: 2:19pm On May 06, 2013 |
yup its grounding/earthing......hv a bad grounding in a car can cause myriad of problems which can leave u confused |

A friend have been having the same issue although his car is Nissan Titan and it all started when he replaced the ECU. The thing has destroyed over 70 coils! I am really interested in this topic, contributions will be highly appreciated. |

ZIM DRILL:I think the solution must proceed from this question. |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by nissparts(m): 8:53am On May 07, 2013 |
Not really. As long as it's a maxima 04-07 ECU it will not cause his current issue. The worst that can happen if he gets one with a different character sequence from the original is that some functionality MAY not work. |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by Nobody: 12:04pm On May 07, 2013 |
nissparts: Not really.But that's the point: Does he have "a maxima 04-07 ECU"? |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by splendore(m): 1:18pm On May 07, 2013 |
@Costee, Even if he puts exactly the same ECU, it will still burn the coils. Just like nissanparts said some functionality will not work but not to burn coils. |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by Nobody: 2:10pm On May 07, 2013 |
splendore: @Costee, Even if he puts exactly the same ECU, it will still burn the coils. Just like nissanparts said some functionality will not work but not to burn coils.Ok then. In that case I guess you are zeroing the problem to improper installation of the ECU. |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by splendore(m): 8:08pm On May 07, 2013 |
dont think so. If the ECU is not properly fixed,the car will not even start in the first place |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by charlesazeh(m): 4:51am On May 09, 2013 |
@ Niassanparts...are you saying that the ECU can not cause the coil to burn? and please i live in asaba.. can i invite your elect man to come and do the job for me....i am really not happy abt this pls... |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by charlesazeh(m): 5:03am On May 09, 2013 |
How do i know if the ECU is from the same 04-07 maxima...cos i just discovered the car uses same ECU with Maurano |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by nissparts(m): 8:33am On May 09, 2013 |
Below is your ECU. It is not the same as murano. It SHOULD not however cause your coils to fry if you have installed a wrong one. Coil frying is PRIMARILY caused by grounding/earthing problems. If you want to be satisfied however that your ECU is not the culprit, you can contact me to order your particular ECU.

Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by charlesazeh(m): 10:27am On May 21, 2013 |
The electrician checked and found out that theres no earth cable to the negative batt terminal! So he ran the grounding cable to the chasis to the gearbox, but the coil is still frying.. Thank you for helping me discover my car had no earthing...but pls what else can be done to stop the coils from burning..please help, |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by nissparts(m): 11:57pm On May 21, 2013 |
The ECU is probably already bad. Does the car start? |
Re: Help My 04 Maxima Keeps Burning My Coil by nissparts(m): 12:21am On May 22, 2013 |
Also have someone check that the alternator is not putting out more than 14v |
