2006 Nissan Patherfinder SE question?
I just purchased a 2006 Pathfinder with 29k. Love it, but am very concerned about this so called auto hill descent control feature. It is the SE model but does not have a hill descent control option/feature. I brought it to our local Nissan dealership and the tech tells me this is normal, on Pathfinders, and other nissan trucks/suv’s. When I am on a hill and begin braking, the tranny automatically begins slowing me down or keeping me at the same speed. What concerns me is, if this is activated over 55mph the RPM’S are over 3000… with my foot off the gas!? When I try and disengage it can be a bit of a struggle to click the tranny out of this. Is this normal? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hill decent control and hill holding only works when the G-Sensor sees the truck at 10% grade and only while traveling very slow. HDC on 4×4 models uses the brakes and trans to ease the truck down the hill at around 5 MPH or less Your question is mis leading If your pathfinder does not have that option. Coasting and engine braking of an automatic trans is computerized I do not know how you would change the way the truck deaccelerates.
