hey all, i tried to Self-Diag the ECU tonight, and when i broke through the plastic with the screw driver there was nothing on the other side to turn.. do i have to stick the screw drive ALL THE WAY in or should it be right there????

thanks all..

Mine was right there...my suggestion would be to take a light and look down and see if you can see. They may vary. If not well

 

It should be "right there" unless you have a '99(?). Take a look here - http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?threadid=58850

 

yeah, it's a '99 SE .. it's not right there, i could fully stick the screw driver in and still didn't know what to do, cause i couldn't see it, i had the flashlight, but i see now that i need a phillips and a mirror, i will try it tomorrow..

thanks all for replies, they are extremely helpful, i thought i pushed the frieken screw into the module...thanks again..

I have a 99 with the same type ecu. On mine I needed a flashlight to see the very small phillips head screw which was off to the left side.
I used a small phillips head screw driver (the type one would use for eyeglasses) to obtain the ecu codes.

hey everyone, thanks for the HEADS UP, i'm just going to wait for my friend to test it, he's a honda mechanic (i know, ricers ), but he has something that clips in and gives the codes, so i'll do it monday, i'm off of work..

thanks again all..

i have to say, i've only been here for a very short while, but you are certainly the coolest and smartest bunch of people i've seen..

thanks for everything, and for keeping this site AWESOME..
