88 Pathfinder transmission runs in sport mode all the time revving the engine way up even the speedometer is Way High about saying 52 instead of 40 miles per hour

Asked by GuruYJLRN Apr 08, 2018 at 12:44 AM about the 1988 Nissan Pathfinder SE 4WD

Question type: General

Pathfinder 88 has the touring mode and
sport mode and it seems that it's not hooked
up so the transmission is always running in
sport mode and there's like four connectors
unconnected next to the transmission down
below the shifting area console. There was a
connector disconnected to the sport touring
switch, and I found for single lead wire
connectors disconnected and I don't know
which goes for what. These connectors are
coming out of the side of the transmission
and it happens to be a four-by-four
Pathfinder but I want it to run in touring not
the sport mode it revs the engine way up to
redline even.

I have an 88 just as you describe. I found that the wires you are talking about control the shocks, try the "Power" / "Auto" button on the upper left of the gear shift. When I first bought mine the "Power" was pushed in and I thought the TBI was shot..til I started fiddelin with it, you're right, touring is alot better ride, but doesn't affect the idle as much as the "Power" switch.
