i have a 1996 maxima with the check enginge light on and i have to get the inspection stiker and with the light on it wont pass the inspection so can i bee able to reset the check engine light and take it to the inspection and pass the inspection or it will still show in the computer when they are making the inspection, the reason of this is cause i dont have money to fix the check engine light and i need the inspection sticker so is there a way to have the check engine light off .

 

Read the stickies. There is a little computer underneath the drivers side by the pedals u can read the code and reset it. If you reset it and it doesn't come back by the time u make it to the inspection station you are good, otherwise, gotta get it fixed

 

just check the codes, get it fixed and then reset the computer either manually or with the tool they have at autozone.

 

take the bulb out

 

try and check the codes than reset the light

 

Most inspection places know enough to do a bulb check.

But I agree, get the codes, do a reset, and then get the car inspected. Even manually reading out the codes and resetting the light takes only a couple of minutes once you know how to do it.

 

that doesn't tale away the codes...

 

if i take the bulb out it will still come out in the inspection so my question is if i reset the check engine light will ill be able to make it to the inspection before it comes out again ?

 

No your not gonna pass inspection just by resetting the CEL. The light will show back up within 50 miles. Once the light is reset you have to drive like 200-300 miles for the car to run through its cycle. If you rush to the inspection place the car will just give a not ready signal.

Check the codes and tell us what the codes are and we can go from there.

 

ok i got the codes and they are 1302 0303 0304 0807 and i when to the code page to see what they mean and the onlyone i under stood is the knock sensor ccan you guys help me on the other ones ? i would like to fix them

Just do a ctrl F and search for ur code number.

 

I think you will pass even though many of your sensors will say "not ready" at least that is how it is in Utah.

I had a friend with a 96 max and had bored out his cat so he had a CEL because of that and every year he would disconnect his battery the night before he was going to get it tested and never had any problems.

It's worth a try, if you fail you can get your problems fixed. Most places give you 15 days to fix the problems and will re-test you for free

 

does anyone knows whats the most important code from the ones that it cameout so i can fix it right away ?

 

mine works when it runs but no light when key on position??

which do u prefer lol

 

Would that code work for a 2000 model?

 

You bumped a 3YO thread in the wrong forum for a question that makes no sense at all.

1. this is 4th gen
2. codes dont "work", they "are".
3. The diag procedure and codes are probably not the same.

Being a newbie is not a good enough excuse for this much fail.

to redeam yourself, look here.
