Code p1217 on the Nissan Altima means that the ECU has noticed an overheating issue. This can be the result of many things. You may have a coolant leak, which will come from bad lines or a crack in the radiator. This will allow the car to overheat quite quickly. There may be something blocking the intake making so enough air is not coming into the engine. Regardless of the issue, and the overheating engine is not good. In the short term, the car will overheat and stop working. In the long term if it keeps overheating then You will warp the head gasket, which will cost You thousands of dollars to have fixed. If this code comes up take it to a shop right away.,

P1217 Nissan has suggested that The Engine Control Module ( ECM) regulates the cooling fan corresponding to the vehicle rpm, the engine coolant temperature, the coolant pressure and the ON signal of the air conditioner. The control method has a 3-step [HIGH / LOW / OFF] function.
