Service Engine Soon Issues?

leepeen · 06-14-2009, 01:42 AM

I have same problem and it's only illuminating when the engine isn't running.
Once i press the iginition button, the engine service soon sign is disappar like a miracle.

I've already asked same issue on this forum and every single members claimed that engine service soon light is pretty normal status.

Anyway, I've booked on next moday at nissan dealership, in order to check up everything for make sure everything is working alright, so i can tell you what's the truth by next week! Sound's good eh?

This only happens when you have the ignition in the ON position without actually firing up the motor, right? This is what you wrote in the other thread:

This is completely normal. It is SUPPOSED to work like that! If you don't believe me, try any other car you have access to. Just turn the key to the ON position with out actually firing up the engine, and you will see that all the lights in the instrument cluster light up.

You should really consider putting the glue away.

take off the negative battery wire. wait a few min.. put it back on.....

and if u have problums with your window after that. put windows all way down and then pull back switch to auto and hold them till window is all the way up. and after window is up. how for abou 10 more seconds... that should do it..... if not , check owner manual

2500 miles on my 09 Z and my Service Engine Light just came on today. Gas cap is tight, bringing it in tomorrow...

1735 miles for me. Gas cap is tight. Bringing it in on Friday. I'm praying they don't screw me and "trace" it back to the Stillen CBE.

You know you can pick up a cheap code reader and scan the code yourself, right? The one I have came with a listing of all the codes in the little manual that came with it. This way, you'll either know or at least have some hint as to what the issue is. And you certainly won't have to take the service dept.'s word for it if they tell you it's the CBE (e.g., if you scan it yourself and the code says there's a problem with the A/C, you'll know they're BS'ing you).
