Hold the presses a minute. I know I don't spend as much time on here as I may want to, but ....

"... ECU in "mode 4" ... adjusted the timeout of my auto-off-headlamps from 180secs to 60secs and my blinker settings to blink 3 times when I slightly lift/drop the turn signal lever."

What are all the possible ECU modes and what are the differences?

I'd love to have the headlamp auto off time decreased and always liked rentals hat had the tap-to-flash-blinker-3times feature.

I just thought it wasn't an available feature. How much is customizeable like this on the car?

Good question. If any Nissan Service Techs subscribe here, that would be a very useful bit of knowledge. :tup:

My ECU service was no charge at Modern Nissan of Lake Norman here in NC. But, I was also getting my tpms looked at and is not the normal situation from dealerships from reading the forums. :hello:

NOTE: My blinker stopped doing the tap-to-flash 10 miles out after the ECU reset. And the Service Assistant said it might stop working "in that mode", he wasn't certain of the difference between the modes either as I asked the same question. He also said that many other Nissans seem to have the tap-to-flash feature, but doesn't know why the 370Z won't keep it on.

NOTE: I bought my Z from a forum member, OppositeLock. I bought it in the DC area and drove it home 500 miles. The tap-to-flash worked up until I got it home and installed my GT-R button (disconnected battery for installation). After the battery disconnect, I had to fix the auto-open/close feature of the windows. So, I guess I lost whatever setting made it work for the first 500+ miles I owned the car.

I'll hook up my OBD2 sensor up tonight and see what I can f*ck up on my own, or at least be able to read what non-engine settings there are - alarm settings, power windows auto-open/close, headlamps, etc.

Yes, I have read page 2-25 of the manual before and saw that.

As I had read it and understood the car's functionality, I assumed that you just have to partially hold the lever down and it flashed until you release it.

Mr. Bucket, where have you been and why haven't you posted in the other thread? :hello:

It is because of you Guys and Gals on this Forum that I got the Information that I needed BEFORE I asked my Wife anything.

You people on this forum rock....

My Wife does not even know it happened, and my Keyfob is not in my pocket on my keychain anymore..Problem solved.

Some slight damage on the Leather side pieces ,wrinkling, but I will call that "normal wear"...

Man, without checking with you people, I would have confronted her and asked her if she did it.....You think I feel stupid now ? That would have been suicide and it would have cost me my dignity...

Hey Pint....I have been busy with first of the year stuff...Always a busy time..

But I am back during my breaks to harass you Guys and Gals...

I hope all is well with You Ms.Pint...

:tiphat::hello:

Okie dokie. I can send a customized command to my system. Anyone know what command to send to change crap? :rofl2:

Side note, since my reflash the other day at the dealership, I've had no misfires....all kinds of cool info from Torque Android App.

This happened to me once!

I accidentally rolled down my windows when it was sprinkling in a shopping center parking lot. Luckily nobody noticed my car; it was unattended, windows down, unlocked, parked far away in the dark, and my wallet and MacBook Pro were in a backpack tucked behind the passenger seat. I was away from my car for a little over an hour. When I returned, my heart nearly sank to my stomach when I saw it sitting there with the windows down.

I'm way more careful now because of it, but I sometimes have a nagging suspicion that my car is unlocked as I'm walking away from it. It always happens when I'm just far away enough that the remote doesn't work.

I've found myself leaving my fiance halfway to a building, usually in the middle of a parking lot, while I jog back to make the car alarm beep because I was 'just' too far out of range. Some paranoia is healthy.

I am not a fan of this feature. Is there a way to disable it? Happened to me once when I parked on the street visiting my buddy in LA. Found both windows wide open at 6AM almost had a heart attack!
