Only few want trouble. And most of those, want it to smbdt else...

As said, error codes dont mean much if they do not repeat and no actual problems. Some do charge resetting the code: DIY take batt OFF for 30 min.
Read this: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/14

Knock, misfire: One possible reason for such codes might be bad gas. Another is soot buildup in the engine. Maxima engine is very low rpm, and if it is always driven very slow, gas exchange is slow... It is good for the engine smtimes to let gases fly: hit the pedal in bottom, drive a minute with 1st gear on, high rpm. And change plugs.

Do not jump start when donor batt is connected: High possibility to fry donor alternator rectifier.
