last nite i got a CEL. so this morning i checked it and got 0505. i was like "uh... okie." so i started the car, realized the car's ignition got better, throttle was more responsive, but there was no problem with my car at all. i just got kinda confussed why the heck it even wanted me to check at first place

now i reset my ECU, it'll have to take time to learn the way i drive all over again

 

i guess this is not really a "problem", but has it ever occur to you guys?

 

Your ECU wanted to get screwed..

 

and it doesnt re-learn anything, it never learned in the first place, the ecu is changing every second, as u drive it does this all the time

 

I got the same code but it doesn't mean anything. Don't know what its for. Oh well.

 

yea i get CEL and 0505 too

 

CEL 0505 means = your car is fine.

 

It just wanted to let you know it was doing okay. It probably just wanted some attention.

 

i got that once too... the good folks here indicated that maybe i might've accidentally reset the CEL trying to get the code.

i guess 05-05 = it's all good, baby...

 

its your maxima trying to say :attention

 

when i see my CEL, i give it a "...l.."

 

that's what it is.....i did that too and never got the light back on.

 

anyone know, does it happen after a certain ammount of miles to tell you about a check up? or is it nissans secret way to get more money?

 

naw, Porsches do that...

 

lol, i know that all to well...buddy had a 70s porsche and a horrible boxy alpha romeo. the porsche tripped "scheduled matinence" lights, that would stay on until the porsche factory reset the light, never found a way around it. while the alpha had a light for everything, even brake wear, air intake tempurature, and a tire air pressure meter for each tire...that never worked. i was hoping our max behaved better than that

 

HA HA!

 

I just got a 0505 w/ TCS & SLIP light all on at the same time, it scared me a little I thought I broke the tranny. Reset the car and TCS works again. I hope its not knock sensor or something

anyone else with a 99 get 0505?

 

lol... this thread was a wee old. Im a 98 and got an 0505, that count?

 

i just got an 0505 today. . . means the car is fine.

thanks mecca for the quick guide.

 

0505 could only mean 1 thing. and that would be:

now that u aint busy fixing problems, get off ur *** and mod the hell out of me!

 

because we all know cars can talk doggy

 

Whoa, 99's have TCS. Yet another feature(more like disliked feature) that I didn't know about.

 

Yeah costcow, i was on the highway, floored it and the tcs/slip light came on. I pulled over, shut down then started, car was fine has never happened again, also code 0505.
