Does a 2006 Maxima 3.5 SL have a drain button for the gasoline

The slip light illuminates when a traction control component fails or sends incorrect info to ecm. Normally problem is at wheel speed sensor, DO NOT REPLACE SENSOR UNLESS PROPERLY DIAGNOSED AS DEFECTIVE. FIRST all reason normally is due to gathering of debris at sensor , I would raise front wheels and support vehicle with jack stands (SAFETY FIRST) Remove wheels and locate wheel sensor and clean as needed. and see if this corrects problem. if problem still persist. then check for stored dtcs and start from there

You can by pass it, but regular bulbs are not plug and play. You also won't find plugs that fit the housing for the lights. Different set ups.

Can you be a little more specific in what you did with the relay switch I don't understand. Did you swap it with another relay?

Sounds like you have a wheel bearing going out. Try swerving car left to rt on a straight road with NO traffic. If the noise is louder one way and less or gone the other it's a wheel bearing

push the A/C button to shut it off.

According to page 10-3 of the 2001 Nissan Maxima Owner's Manual:

FUEL RECOMMENDATION
Unleaded premium gasoline with an octane
rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index)
number (Research octane number 96)
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available,
unleaded regular gasoline with an
octane rating of at least 87 AKI (Research
octane number 91) can be used.
However, for maximum vehicle performance,
the use of unleaded premium gasoline
is recommended.

Engine "knock" is not just an unusual sound - but over time can cause real damage to the engine. You *should* use fuels with the recommended octane levels, but if you choose to use fuel with a lower octane level due to reduce fuel costs - do not repeatedly use fuel that causes engine knock. Find the "sweet spot" between the cost of lower octane fuel and an octane level that does not cause knocking. Expect fuel economy and performance to drop with lower octane fuels, too.

Good luck!

Have the brake rotors replaced and wheels balanced. Check brake pad shims and springs (if equipped) for proper operation!!

This should be stated in you owner's manual. Most cars are fine on 87 octane. Some high performance engines will give more power with higher octane fuel.
