i just disconnected my battery after leaving it disconnected for about a week (waited for my indash screen) anyways, i reconnected it the other day and todai i went to turn on the car and the service engine light is on...should i be worried?

 

I would say it should go away as quickly as it came......
If it were mine, I'd do a pedal reset of the ECU to see if it clears.
Otherwise drive it (provided it's not showing any bad signs) and it will go.
If not get, the dealer to scan for a code to see where the problem is.

the pedal thing doesnt like to work for me lol

 

i dont know if you have one wher ur from go to a local discount auto part or pep boy's they have check engine scanner and can tell you what wrong for FREE, if it is from a mod you did to the engine do not take it to the dealer. all they will do is VOID your warranty and fix it, then charge you and on top of all that you lost your warranty..

long story short see what the problem is, if u had nothing to do with it take it to infiniti, if its becuase you did something take it to a local mechanic who knows how to work on our cars and have them repair and you can save your warranty.. DO NOT give it to any jo shmooo mechanic.


anyway hope the advice helped !!!

 

C.The pedal method isn't easy for sure, but once you get it down, it's very easy. If you'd like some help with it, pm me and I'll try to help you thru it.
The most frequent mistake peeps make is to not wait at least 10 seconds after a failed attempt.

well i did have a ztube and pop charger installed if thats wats the problem is ..i just called the dealer about it todai and they told me to bring it in just in case. im not sure about the voiding warranty thing, but now u got me sorta worried lol

 

BUMP

can sumone let me know if havin a pop charger will void my warranty?

 

If you have an issue with the MAF they will try to pin it on the pop charger // Z tube. If you are having issues with the motor starving for air they will blame it on the pop charger. It all depends on who the tech is that looks at it and the problem. Just remember, in order to void your warranty they have to prove that your aftermarket part cause a problem.

 

there is no problem, just the service light is on (which im hoping is no problem) i havent driven my car for over 3 months so i have no idea if there really is a problem from the pop charger...guess ill have to see

 

You just need an ecu reset. Drew's car did the same exact thing when we stuck the pop charger on it. Took him 5 tries working(and a stopwatch I might add) to get the pedal thing just right but i finally reset.

 

wait a minute, doesnt disconnecting my battery reset my ecu??

 

Look at this link again

Resetting the ECU is all about timing. You're not going to get it right the first time, trust me. The dealer is going to charge you $xx diagnostic fee to clear the DTC (diagnostic trouble code), so just go to your local autozone where you can get it pulled for free with an OBD-II scanner. See what the problem is and if SES comes back on, take it in.

 

haha i just did the pedal thing....dunt know wat happened but my alrdy almost dead battery died again...dunno if thats wats supposed to happen...should i be gettin a new battery?
