My 2007 Nissan Murano was hit by a deer. Since then check eng light on code PO340. Could accident have caused this?

Question

After incident my air bag light is flashing,tire sensor light is on,oil leak at gasket for oil cooler and service eng light is with code PO 340. Insurance company says accident could not have caused any of this. Not sure need help.

Answer 1

Well, have to agree that the code for the cam sensor is not going to be caused by a deer hit,neither will the oil cooler leak. These are on the engine and unless that deer broke the oil filter off, it's not a cause.

As for the TPMS, if there was a tire blown, it's possible the sensor could have been damaged.

The air bag light flashing is a possible or has a possible connection.If the front senser or one of the side impact sensors or wiring was damaged, it could cause the light. That would have to be diagnosed to see if it was in the area of the collision.
