Try this link: http://www.brianv.net/mods/ecu/

 

Or you could just unplug the battery for a few minutes ...

 

unplugging the battery resets the ECU?

 

It should. No power, no memory I guess.

 

if it was that easy then they wouldnt have put in the screw in it to reset it.

 

FSM says unplug for 24hr to reset.

read the sticky meng. they tell you how to do it.

 

Turn screw fully CW, wait 2sec, turn CCW, wait 2 sec, repeat once and it should be done.

Here's a full CEL writeup http://vbxmaxima.8m.com/ecu.html.

I was under the impression that the above method cleared the codes, while the battery way cleared everything the ECU has learned about your car/driving habits.

 

I don't think it resets the ECU when you unplug the battery... Maybe ThurzNite is right about the 24 hr thing...

I just installed my new CAI saturday and I obviously had to unplug the battery. As soon as I plugged it back in, the CEL was immediately on for the vehicle speed sensor (something that takes about an hour of driving to come on normally with an ECU reset).

 

Unplugging the battery for a bit does reset the CEL light (only of course if the problem has been corrected)

"dyno notes : The easiest way to reset the ECU is to
remove the negative terminal of the battery for about
a minute. Make sure the key is out of the ignition when
you remove the terminal and when you put it back on."

Its that easy ...

You dont think ...

Maybe its 'obvious' you installed it wrong ... and you just got around to installing one? ...

I bought my Max in March

Blow Me ... non-believers

 

Oh yea, thanks for backing me up by the way.

 

Hey maxima_kid,

Don't you think that is a little too much piping for a CAI?

 

i hope your joking and dont see the turbo

 

I was kidding.

 

Yea, Im pretty sure that was sarcasm ...
You were being sarcastic right ? ...

 

hey thanks guy rewired the speed limiter wire back together since i reasoned how often do i get the chance to go over 100 besides thats just asking to take my max away besides i didnt want the aggrivation of dealing with the check engine light and i didnt think it was worth it to run a switch and do all that work just to go over 100 kinda dum so i hooked it back up and reset it

 

My speed limiter kicks in around 118. Why's yours kick in at 100?

I'm just typin out what the Factory Service Manual says. 24hr has worked for my other nissans, but never tried it in my 97 Maxima yet.
