Service Engine Soon

Freakin great. Just got my G35C today.
After driving it around all day, i come home, park it, and see a "service engine soon" light come on. WHAT DA F***.
And when i have it on neutral, it sooorta vibrates a little.

Any input on these?

Re: Service Engine Soon

I had the same problem with my coupe. I picked it up in the morning. Later in the evening, the light came on. I turned the car off and on a few times, it still didn't go away. It was too late, so I couldn't take it to the dealer. The next day, just as I was getting ready to go to the dealer, the light didn't come on. I didn't bother taking it to the dealer, and I never saw the light again. It's kind of interesting. I'd say take it to the dealer, and have them figure it out. Good luck bro.

Its probably the gas cap on your car...either it wasn't properly closed or maybe its defective...If you open the tank and close it properly you should see the light go out after one or two days...did that on my last infiniti...and that corrected the problem...if not just take it in for the dealer to look at..2old4this

Re: Service Engine Soon

Took my car to the dealer. Dealer had to reprogram the ECM per a bulletin relating to a small evaporative leak.

Re: Service Engine Soon

The 12 hour battery disconnect doesn't seem to reset the Check Engine Light. Some have reported that the quick method works though.

Re: Service Engine Soon

Try an ECU reset found in THIS THREAD, or by disconnecting the battery for 12 hrs.

Re: Service Engine Soon

took it to the dealer today. my rpm was kinda readjusting too for some reason.
well, they called me back and they said something about a sensor being readjusted and supposedly the problem was fixed.
i'm picking it up tomorrow so i'll see how it is.

Re: Service Engine Soon

the "service engine soon" light just came on for me (steady, no blinking) yesterday. I checked the gas cap and it is ok. One thing I noticed (and I never looked before); I did not see a little silver flip door in the gas opening (my other cars have had one). It is normally a small little door that swings open on a spring when you put a gas nozzle in. Crazy question: does the G not have one? Or is it possible that mine broke off somehow (and god forbid) it fell into the gas tank?

I do have an Injen CAI, but it has been on for more than two months and I have never had this light come on. Any advice is appreciated.

Re: Service Engine Soon

thanks. I will try another ECU reset tonight. I have driven the car on a couple trips like the manual says, but the light is still on. I wonder if I got a bad tank of gas.....
