Does anyone know how to reset the ECU in a 2k Max? I have searched the entire sight and could only come up with a reset for a 95 Max. It helped out a little. I pop the plastic shield near the gas peddle and located the ECU but only found 2 small holes with no screw.i used a flash light to see if the screw was inside the holes but no luck. the reason I wanted to reset the unit was to see if I can get any response codes so I can diagnose the problem before I take it to Nissan service(the Nissan service in my area have sometimes tried to charge me for things I don't need but thanks to the org and all of you I have dodge that bullet thus far) This is my first post and I just want to say that all of you here have been a great help with all my mods. I hope to try and return the favor one day.

Thanks for the quick response. How long does it have to be unplugged?

I unplugged mine for about an hour, and I am assuming it worked cause the radio stations and the clock were reset.

An hour may not be enough... the clock and radio stations reset whenever you lose power I think. Just to be safe, I would leave it unplugged for a few hours at least.
Ahh...great minds think alike. We replied with the same info at practically the same time.
