SERVICE INFORMATION
If a 1996-98 Pathfinder exhibits a MIL "ON" with P0500 stored in the ECM or abnormal speedometer operation, the cause may be an out-of-specification speedometer drive gear. As a result, the speed sensor pinion gear may become stripped.

A new speedometer drive gear is now available to resolve this incident if it should occur.
