Re:
Just follow the DIY guide and I'm pretty sure I did it first go just by counting the seconds in my head.
Might be easier if you have someone reading what to do next so you don't get too confused.
Start counting with the ignition in the on position.

Re: Particulate filter error resulting in MIL light
I came accross an article in the editorial section of carsguide describing this problem. An owner had this issue arise 4- 5 times. Even with freeway work during week days and drives to country areas some weekends the car wouldn't complete the DPF burn. Each time a visit to a dealer was required to fix the problem (until it occured again).
I hope that Nissan can eliminate this problem for future upgrades, as published issues such as this will eventually hurt them.

Re: Particulate filter error resulting in MIL light
Steve,
I have a TS manual and I find that even when I'm predominantly city driving, as long as I can get it in a 70 zone once a week or so (it probably doesn't need it every week, but you just never know when it does need it) I can get the DPF regen cooking along okay. An interesting thing I've found with the manual is it doesn't always take a lot to get it to regen - and I could swear that it has kicked off in the past without exceeding the 67 km/h or whatever the minimum is speed is.
One thing that may be important is once the regen starts, to keep driving until it finishes. Maybe you have been having regens starting, but have been terminated too early.
Listen to your engine now and again, and watch your fuel usage. When a regen kicks off the engine changes sound to something similar to when its cold. Basically its doing the same thing - when its cold it runs rich to warm up, during a regen its running even more rich to burn off the soot. Learn that sound, and you'll hear it especially when accelerating during a regen. With careful listening you can even hear when the regen finishes - can't describe it, but there's a little change in the noise and then it goes quieter, ie. normal.
If you regularly reset your fuel usage then the regen will run rich enough to start changing the average consumption (so much for being efficient - regen blows efficiency out the exhaust).
Also I don't know if it happens with all the diesels, but if I do stop whilst a regen has been taking place, there can be a strong burning smell - to me it was sort of like burning plastic even.
