Does anyone know how the ECU can be reset (w/o taking the neg battery cable off) on a 2000 Maxima. I did a tuneup and wanted to reset the ECU. There were directions on alink that directed you to turn a screw on the ECU, but there is no screw on my ECU, just 2 holes covered by tape.

Take your car to a local car place. Here, autozone checks ur ecu and clears it free of charge. Or you can take it to the a$$holes at Checker and pay 1 hour of labor to get them to do the 5 second job.

 

so which one is better? sorry, i got lost in the part of which u had to pay and not

 

Autozone does this for free.

 

There is no way of reseting the ECU urself on a 5th gen, so go to autozone.

 

Unplugging the battery for 24 hours will reset it.

 

I dont think it even has to be for 24 hrs.

 

I guess u are right. I disconncted it for 30MIN and check engine went away. But on my 4th gen it never worked
