a little irritating situation - but related.

I was out of the country for a few weeks some time ago and was in a country where they sell some toyota CVT equipped cars, one was a corolla (with a strange name ahead of it)

it had an error code of accel/decel sensor out of range. The car was owned by a freind of a freind and was discussing this with me, so we started on what the heck was this.

the accel/decel sensor is in the air bag control unit and sometimes in the air bag assembly, to calibrate it has a very silly process and even involves the driver of the car to be outside the car and the car be absolutely still and perfectly level.

The PCM reads it to determine when to cut down acceleration.

it went cuckoo 3 times in 2 weeks. Very similar results here in the nissan but it was no CEL for Nissan it just started to do the jerky acceleration. The original old altimas were setup for a tighter and more brisk acceleration while the new one has a more lazier drive and the trans slips more than the old one.
