I have a friend who went muddin in her stock nissan pathfinder and afterwards she was hearing a ticking sound and an "ATP" light came on the car. If you know what what is (I'm a Chevy guy so I of course dont) i would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks a lot. - Jared

What year pathfinder? Pretty sure mine doesn't have that light.

Im not sure, maybe a '99. I found out it means Automatic Transmission Pressure. Means you need to change transmission fluid/oil as far as I know. Other than that I guess it means something might be wrong with the transmission.

No, the ATP light comes on when the transfer case is in Neutral and the transmission is in Park. It's there to alert the driver that putting the transmission in Park will not prevent the vehicle from rolling since the axles are disconnected from the transmission's park pawl.
If the transfer case is not actually in Neutral, then it's just a sensor glitch.

This light indicates that the automatic transmission parking function is not engaged. If the transfer control lever is not secured in any drive position while the automatic transmission selector lever is in the P (Park) position, the transmission will disengage and the vehicle may move unexpectedly. Shift the transfer control lever into the 2H, 4H, or 4L position when the warning light comes on.
