dose anyone kno where i can get check engine light codes pulled for free?

 

sure do...your house, lol. theres a sticky on how to pull the codes yourself using a flathead screwdriver. takes literally a minute or two. if you dont trust urself go to autozone...

 

ill prob go to autozone cause i dont wanna count the long and short flashes of the light...its free at autozone...do they do oil changes as well i need one despratly

 

it really isnt that hard but w/e, ive never seen an autozone that does oil changes tho...

 

Well go to autozone. Have them pull the codes for you and then buy an oil filter and oil. You should not have someone changing your oil.

 

Change the oil yourself, it's too damn easy.

 

i always change my own oil i leave the easy stuff to me and the ripping apart of the engine block to the pros...fyi ive never had to rip apart an engine block hahaha

 

maxilover06,

Try this web site, it tells you what each code means. You need to count the flasing lights to come up with a code number then. Tehn key it in the website and it tells you what the problem is. Everythig is explained there.

Yeh seriously bro if you cant change oil yourself you're a girl(or rich, but then why would you be driving a maxima?).

 

bro i do change my own oil i hate paying 30 bucks for a feakin oil change and havin 2 wait 2 hrs for it to b done...i just do it myself...no im not a girl or rich im pretty poor ive been spending alot on my max hahaha

 

haha guy, my check light is on too, i am so confused!!!

 

what year is urs?

 

what's confusing? Just go have them pulled.

 

If you do decide that you are going to get them checked at Autozone, write down the codes and ignore the guy. He will mostly be wrong and just report the codes back here for accuracy.

 

well i went to autozone and to my suprise they couldnt do it for me...aparently they only do 96 and up and mine is a 95...looks like i have to cough up the 45 bucks for a gas station to do it for me

 

damn your crazy i would never pay that kind of money...just do it yourself

 

Do not pay any money!!! You have two different options to do it for free!! Why would you even consider spending mponey?!!?!

 

The OBDII reader they use will read 95 codes. Mine reads my wife's 95 200ser without a hitch. It wasn't until 96 that manufacturers were required to be OBDII compliant. 95 Nissans are.

 

just do it urself, read the stickies and it will give u links to how to read it urself... all u need is a screwdriver

 

Good god, it's not that hard. You take off the plastic cover, turn the screw one way, wait 2 sec, turn it back. The lights flash you record them and look it up online. Save that $45 to have someone fix the problem for you, since you're obviously unable to do that.

 

its really easy it just take like 4 minutes and thats all

 

help i think i messed something up...i pulled the codes and i got an 0304 which is the knock sensor but i also got a 0706 but nobody knows what that one is and i accidentally cleared the codes without repairs...is this bad...can i get the codes back????

 

Haha you dont really want codes back. But yes since its a code it will come back. Check the knock and see what the ohm is at.

 

i hear alot of ticking and tapping when im idleing...but it goes away when i step on the gas...is that my knock sensor?

 

how nessisary is the knock sensor...do i have to replace it?

 

hahaha if you were poor you wouldn't even be thinking about paying to have your codes checked you would have gone and done it when the first person told you how.

 

ok chill i pulled the codes myself but im saying how crutial is the knock sensor???
