Hello

I am sorry to hear about the issues you are having with your 05 Pathfinder. I will do my best to help you with this Do you have a Service Engine Soon light on as well?

I have a 2005 pathfinder and the VDC light is coming on .
Automotive Expert
If you have a Service Engine Soon light and VDC light on, you will need to have the truck scanned to determine the fault that your computer is seeing. But I will explain what most commonly can cause both of these lights for you....

Okay
Automotive Expert
The most common thing to cause the engine to shut off while driving would be the CAM sensor. When your cam sensor starts to loose it's signal, it can cause the engine to shut off. When it does it can cause the Cam Sensor code and a engine signal code in the ABS system which can cause the VDC light. But the truck will need to be scanned to verify
