DID A THROTTLE BODY CLEANING ON A NISSAN MURANO AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALER SAID IT WAS A MONEY MAKER AND MANY SHOP THAT CLEAN THE THROTTLE BODY HAVE TO COME TO THEM FOR THE RE-LEARNING OF THE IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE. THIS IS CRAZY ,I HAVE DONE THIS ON MY PORSCHE AND MY FORDS AND CHEVY AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN. NISSAN SHOULD HAVE A WARNING STICKER ON THE THROTTLE BODY TO SEE MANUAL -THE MANUAL SHOULD STATE DO NOT CLEAN OR YOU WILL NEED TO GO TO DEALER TO RE-LEARN THE IDLE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM. *TR

ON REMOVING THE TIRE, I FOUND THAT THE INNER SIDEWALL HAD COMPLETELY SEPARATED FRO THE TREAD AND CRACK WAS ALMOST PERFECTLY CIRCULAR AND ABOUT MIDWAY UP THE SIDEWALL.
