2) within 5 seconds of step 1, depress the accelerator pedal and then release it 5 times
3) exactly 7 seconds after step 2, depress the accelerator pedal and hold it for 10 seconds until the CEL light starts blinking.
4) you can now let the accelerator pedal go and make note of the code that the CEL is giving you.
5)to reset the CEL, repeat steps 1-4, when you complete step 4, wait 10 seconds, then depress the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds again.
6)release the accelerator pedal, turn off the car, then fully turn on the car (make the engine run).

I did it this morning, thought it was a joke to make me look like an idiot but it worked, so if you just want the code, thats the way to do it, minus step 5 and 6.

does this actually work, because I threw a service engine soon light last night

How does it work when you the Z has a push start? It can't go into just ignition mode.

I'd just press the engine start button without holding down the clutch

This works with the manual tranny for sure. I've used it about 5 times so far since having installed my Berk test pipes. It's a little finnicky and you have to time it just about perfectly or you'll have to start over. Just be patient, use a stop watch and keep at it. Do NOT press in the clutch as that will allow the car to start up right away.

Two pushes on the button are required to get to the ON position. Exactly 3 seconds after that depress the gas pedal fully 5 times. Come off the pedal each time. 7 seconds after the last depression, hold down the pedal for EXACTLY 10 seconds, release for 10 seconds, hold down AGAIN for 10 seconds. Turn the ignition OFF...

Start back up regularly and the CEL should be gone. There has been a couple of times that I had to go through the procedure a few times as my timing was a little off, but it finally always works. A lot cheaper than buying a code reader as long as you know why you're getting the CEL in the first place.

The other CEL reset is putting your penis in the left exhaust pipe. Either way, you'll be embarrassed when a neighbor catches you trying to reset your ECU.

I tried this today and it works. I almost gave up as I could not get it working, but decided to try different things. What ended up doing it was pressing and releasing the gas pedal really fast. Within 5 seconds. That was the trick.

Hey guys
Just got F.I. rest. Test Pipes + TDX CBE installed. After 300 miles my SES lit up, how do i know if it is a test pipes leak causing it? and if so what can do about it? I was under the impression that one shouldn't throw an SES light with the test pipes because the 02 sensor still connect to them. any advice will help thanks.

you may very well have a leak, you can always run over to your local autozone and have them scan and give you the actual trouble code.
