350Z ECU Reset Guide (Check Engine Light) easy way

This video shows how to reset ECU on Nissan 350Z (or infiniti G35).

Following procedure resets Check Engine light as well as A/F ratio learning tables. Some people claim getting more power after performing it (especially after installing bolt-ons).
This procedure is considered absolutely harmless, however do it on your own risk.

1. Turn the ignition on and wait 3 seconds (it's better to use a stopwatch)

2. Depress and release the accelerator pedal 5 times during 4-5 seconds. Depress it fully with equal speed motions.

3. Release the accelerator pedal and wait 7 seconds.

4. Depress the accelerator pedal and wait till the check engine light starts to blink.

5. Release the accelerator pedal and wait another 10 seconds. (light continues to blink).

6. Depress the accelerator pedal and wait for more than 10 seconds, then release it and turn the ignition off.

7. Start the car and check if the check engine light has gone (if you had one), otherwise do it once again.

8. Some people say you should give a car some time "to learn" before going full throttle, but it's up to you to decide.
In my opinion, warm up the car, drive 10-15 minutes in a normal way and you are good to go, unless you've done
some major changes to the car (anyway you should get your ecu reflashed after doing major changes)
or the fuel is really low octane, so the car need some time to adjust.

Bought 350Z last week. Here i am now.
Thx man. Worked out

[iconicstance]

**Tip play the video as you're doing it and copy his movements exactly! Can't believe this worked🤣 Thank you man!!!

[oxillerate]

Yes! I thought I was doing these steps with the other documents and vids out there but following THIS video, playing it and going with the steps, completely worked the first time! Thank you!!

[patkaiser]

Here I’m writing everything down and you had it in the description the whole time. Thank you!

[charlesluce]

Thanks. I tried following written instructions but couldn’t get it to work on my 2005 350ZR. But those instructions had you waiting 10 seconds, not 7. So, I took a tip from a comment below and just followed the video. Worked first time. Thanks again!

[DJRoyalEdo]

If you do it right, it works! Failed first time but nailed it on the second lol

[RazeKayy]

My check engine light doesn't start blinking

[MrXJeep]

I couldn’t get the timing down, had to mirror your video real time to get it to work. Thanks!

[TheProdigyAccordion]

Thanks, it totally helped me out! I tried just going by the description but it was so much easier just doing it along with the video

[Paradice]

These cars really do be video games . Got cheat codes

[AZEVALPINE]

Took a few times to get it right, but it worked in the end. It's great to have the dash cleared now of all error messages thanks to You Tube. Great video, and thanks much for saving me a dealer service trip.

Gonna try this out, I just installed a plenum spacer and my car is idling poorly since I put it on. Hopefully it fixes it

[davetaylor]

Having read through all these happy little, it worked for me, it worked for me postings. My being the only one that has failed to be helped, am not going to get much attention in this sea of good tidings. Will having the original steering will replaced with a non factory one prevent this from working?

[AnAverageBoss]

Damn tire pressure light would not go off despite my tire pressure being perfectly fine. Good video

[Dori_alex]

Hello, old video.. but hopefully you'll reply! Do you have any idea if this will remove a tune that has been flashed on? I am scared to do it..

[odszza]

Until my new o2 sensor comes in I have to use this video like 2 times a day haha, but it is helpful!!!

[H_Vince]

This is the best video with timed movements

[Jemis_Bond]

Thanks so much! didn’t work the first couple of times but i got it eventually

[eythanlsrael]

Followed step by step, then I heard another guy say run it for about an HOUR and I did that and it haven't come back on YET.

[TERRORIZERRRR]

It worked for me just now but the cel came back on within seconds of starting the car. What do you think I should do?
