The car runs fine, but I don't want to take any chances, so I am planing to have someone check it out. My question is: should I take it to the local Nissan dealership?

I haven't had many car issues, so I don't have a trusted mechanic/shop to take the car. I want it fixed, but don't want to get screwed. I live in Toledo, OH, in case someone has a recomendation. Thanks for the advice!

P.S. If you have had any experience with these codes or know of something I should try before taking it to a shop, please let me know. Thanks.

Clear the ECU by taking batt cble off for 30min. Drive.

If the code comes persistently on, go to stealership. Ask quotation ONLY for diagnosis. Do not let them troubleshoot on their own, swap MAF etc, [terrible$e!] but get out. Then ask for second opinion from some other place. After that, decide what to do... Just keep in control: CEO dont need to know the details to keep costs in control.
