The Nissan Path

My nissan pathfinder 2006 doesn't start up on the first time.
The second time you try to turn it on it always works but it lights up the lights "VDC" and the "slip".(note: there is not problem with regarding slipping and there is no wet roads)
However if it starts up on the first time the lights don't show but it turns off after some time.(5-10min)
Any ideas about what the problem is?

I would start by checking your battery cable connections and checking your battery and charging system.

I changed the battery and checked if it's full but it didn't solve the problem

"changed" or charged?

we can't fix it from here............
cables & clamps OK?
clamps tighten down on battery posts OK?
did you charge and load test the battery after charging it?
how old is the battery?
are there any outstanding recall campaigns on your truck?

I'm completely positive that the problem isn't from the battery or its cables.
.I installed a brand new battery in it, but still.
.And if it were a battery problem it wouldn't start every second time I try to start it up.

trying to help you is like pulling teeth
are there any outstanding recall campaigns on your truck?
a bad IPDM relay (recall campaign) can cause some of your symptoms

What do u mean by outstanding recall on iPDM?

The EGI relay in the IDPM/ER was recalled several years ago. You can call any Nissan dealer or Nissan's customer service hotline (1-800-NISSAN-1) with your VIN # and they can tell you if you have any open campaigns or recalls.

A bad cam sensor can cause some pretty odd things, so that's a possibility. There have also been some grounding issues on mid-2000s Nissans, Pathfinders included. I think you really need to start by checking for system trouble codes. I'm not just talking about powertrain codes which you can access with an OBD II code reader, but checking for trouble codes in the BCM, ABS system, etc., which will require a capable scan tool. You would also be able to view datastream info.

there are no outstanding recalls.
i have no camera in my truck.

i professional used the OBD II code reader but it didnt show any codes it's like nothing is there

...........cam sensor = camshaft sensor, not camera sensor

A generic OBD II code reader will not read BCM, ABS, IPDM trouble codes or any codes other than powertrain codes (engine, transmission, emission). It will also not read datastream information

where is the camshaft sensor located exactly?and how to test it?
