The CORRECT way to reset the ECU / Throttle lag cured!!!
#81
After reading through this thread, I did not see much regarding the 2k1 maxima. Just curious if this will work for a 2k1 max or is the 2k1 max just like the 2k?

Flooring it is no different but the throttle seems a bit more responsive.

Here's the deal:
If you wait seven seconds and then press the pedal and hold it, and then wait until the SES flashes, it will give you the error codes that the computer stores. Each set of flashes is a number from 0 to 9 (with ten flashes equalling zero) and after four sets, if it flashes ten times each set (ie. between the pauses) that means the error code is 0000.
For example, if your gas cap is loose and your SES light comes on normally, and you check the error (which by the way is 0442), you will see ten flashes, a pause, four flashes, a pause, four flashes, a pause, and then two flashes.
This is useful for troubleshooting why the SES light is on, and if you have a buddy with a service manual, he can tell you the possible causes.
If there is only one error it will repeat it. If there are two, the four sets of flashes will be different.

Thanks for the posts. I have an 03 GLE and have experienced mild hesitation/lack of power since day one. I have not taken the car to the dealer for the TSB (NTB03-022 and NTB03-023) fixes, and I believe you recommend that be done in addition to the procedures for resetting the ECU. Right? I am not a techie, and I may very well ask stupid questions ... when you pump the gas pedal repeatedly, will you not flood the engine? I look forward to getting this done and enjoy my Max to its fullest potential. Upon reading the above posts (confirming the fixes and cures), I think I have a good chance ... I certainly hope so!!

2) The car is a drive by wire. The ECU will not allow fuel to pump into the engine unless the engine is running. You are doing nothing more than sending the ECU an electrical signal. In the 2001 and previous models, the gas pedal was connected via a cable, but in 2002+, it's done electrically instead.

ICEY2k1- Did this work for your 01 max? I've been looking for this thread all week. My car feels like a 82 toyota corolla right now. I have no power. Can I do these steps on my 01?
