Re: Malfunction Indictor (dashboard engine light)
I had my engine warning light come on a while back when I was fiddling with my MAF sensor.
There is no way to get that light to go out and only nissan can turn it off for you.
Nissan will also be able to indicate the cause of the fault.

Re: Malfunction Indictor (dashboard engine light)
The cause of my error was one of stupidity as I attempted to install a mod from eBay, which involved removing the MAF wiring plug and shorting out the terminals with a resistor. My engine warning light came on immediately and didn’t go out.
I brought my exy into Nissan and put it in under warranty. They didn’t charge me anything. They indicated that the MAF sensor was the problem, which to them was a bit unusual as the sensor was still in good working order.

Re: Malfunction Indicator (dashboard engine light)
Hi Brett,
I have created a pdf file from that cheat sheets you sent me and it is now hosted locally within our forum. I will soon be linking this file to be part of our DIY Guides as it is quite useful for those of us who don't have the ECU reader software and hardware.

Re: Malfunction Indicator (dashboard engine light)
I take back my words from a few days ago....
I was tinkering with my Cold Air Intake last night and accidentally started my exy with the MAF sensor unplugged, Engine Warning light came on straight away,
I've tried out the procedure you found and can say it works a treat. It even gave me back the correct error code and I have now cleared the trouble codes from the ECM, all back to normal again

Re: Malfunction Indicator (Dashboard Engine Warning Light)
I am not sure about that Craig, as I had a blown brake light fuse before and didn't get the MIL light.
There is a quick way to verify the dealers theory if you remove the brake light fuse

Re: Malfunction Indicator (Dashboard Engine Warning Light)
I had a problem a couple of times today.
The first time I had driven to work & was going to move the car after a short stop & it wouldn't start. I've had this a few times previously usually starting from cold in the morning. I tried a couple of times then depressed the accelerator, released and tried again & away she went.
Then coming home I pulled up at an intersection & am not sure if the car stalled or I stalled it by not being quick enough with the clutch. Again after a try or two with no result I depressed the accelerator & let go & she started again. But, then I noticed that the yellow engine light on the dash was on & stayed on the rest of the way home.
Any ideas? The car seems to run no different than before except for the light.
