I just reset my check engine light and I got the codes wrote them down. Anyway I didn't know it was that easy to reset the codes. I thought you need one of the computers to do it for you. Because I worked in my cousins auto repair shop and that's how he did it. I read the FAQ and found how to do it. Another thing I reset was the airbag light. That was even easier LMAO.

I to Maxima.org.

 

Ok .. wow .. congrats .. don't know what else to say ....

 

Hey a lot better then paying for a code reader for a couple thousand. Anyway that's how much my cousin's was. His does everything. Tells you how to repair it. Its has like a 10 inch color screen. Internet enabled if there is updates.

 

So does the $15 dollar Haynes manual w/o the color screen

 

And if you call the dealership, they'll tell you you HAVE to have a computer diagnostic to read the codes. I fell for it once... once.
I'm still bitter.

 

I took reading codes for free for granted. I have to purchase a $200-$300 program for mine + a pocket PC or labtop to read my codes and even make some ECU adjustments of my own through a VAG program.

For those that go to the dealer to get codes read, you deserve every *** raping that will come to you

 

Dealer =
Autozone and places like will scan and tell you the codes, and even sometime tell you how to fix it. All for FREE

 

best way to learn about your car buy the Haynes book.. it will answer alot of questions

 

Great investment!

 

fyi www.autozone.com has a FREE online Haynes manual available.

 

................ All of this thread has old info

 

Are you kidding me? I never knew about the ECU screw trick until this thread.

What the heck are all those Sticky's at the top of the forum - they take up too much space and what sort of word is that anyway, "Sticky"...

 

Old news.....no need to post about it, but glad you finally found the cheap way to reset things.

 

ya seriously let's get rid of some of those stickie make new ones.,,

 

This was just a post to thank Maxima.org. I need to find someones credit card to donate. I am only 17 and can't get one. I also can't ask my dad since he doesn't trust the interweb.

 

do what my friend did. he had a credit card at 16. but this was a while ago. he put fake info n stuff. kinda funny. heh. oh, he got approved cause he put his dad's info for the primarary. so in reality it was his dad getting approved n him having a credit card in his name also. wierd, cause he didn't even have a license at that age. hehe

 

Just send me the money and I'll "donate" it for you...

(I'm serious).

 

If i ever feel like visiting a federal prison ill be sure to try that out

 

wow you're dad would turn you in?...how sad

 

Nothing get's by you

 

lmao

 

well, i mean, he was a minor, so how much trouble can you really get into??? plus, what he was doing was legal, just that he didn't ask his dad for permission for putting the info. n the main reason i believe it worked because i do'nt think they ask too many questions about the secondary card holder. n a lot of kids have credit cards in their name at a yougn age. so when he couldn't pay his bill, thats when he got caught, because he had to tell his dad...it was kidna funny..heh
