Re: Error code P0488
You may need to take the car for a good long drive on a motorway at a highish speed. it may be related to the DPF regeneration a lot of Australian diesel owners are experienceing.
Have a read through the T31 diesel section under DPF regeneration and MIL light.

Re: Error code P0488
Steve,
According to the T31 diesel error codes found HERE P0488 related to a clogged EGR valve.
This is not good news indeed, as you maybe experiencing an oil leak that is clogging the EGR valve as described HERE
Please check your air filter and if you notice any traces of engine oil on it, take it immediately to the dealer to trouble-shoot as they might need to replace the oil separator.
P.S. This has nothing to do with your wife's driving style

Do you know if this is covered under the standard 3 year, 60k miles warranty?
Hi Steve,
It must be covered by warranty. It's a Nissan defect.

Re: Error code P0488
Had the MIL pop up on me 2 weeks ago.. 2010 T31, 103ks.. EGR was caked!
I have dealer (not nissan) warranty, which of course was declined, reasoning, it is a maintenance issue BUH BOW!
Nissan cleaned the EGR, done an ECU update at an exceptional cost, all done and dusted, right?
Nope...
Same fault has just popped back up! Could this possibly be a residual thing from it being gunked with crud before or a failed EGR (pending inspection)?
I fit up the provent 200 at another exorbitant cost ($231 with all hoses clamps and drain cock ... adding some sheet aluminium for the bracket) to help eliminate this EGR issue again.
I am going to fit a blanking plate to the EGR after this... like i have done to previous vehicles (Tdi Disco and ZD30 Patrol) but have heard the Exxy ecu needs a flash tune to ignore the EGR sensor? Can anyone shed some light on that for me please?
