slimjim Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 After servicing my car to day, the damn Engine light has come on... Anyone bought a "Consult" setup? Seen some on eBay for like 40 quid, thought they might be worth a punt. Rather than paying Nissan a load of cash. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clarkie34 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Take it back to Nissan and tell them to pull the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris`I Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 Do the pedal dance properly and get the code Or get someone with an OBD reader. You may not need Consult, it may be a generic fault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Take it back to Nissan and tell them to pull the code. I presumed Nissan would r4p3 me for just looking at the car. Probably charge me an hours labor just to give me the code. Do the pedal dance properly and get the code Or get someone with an OBD reader. You may not need Consult, it may be a generic fault I found out about the "dance" yesterday. But I didn't know the flashing give you the code! I will do it again this morning and work out what the code is. How do I work out from that what the error code is? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 OK so... I get 10 slow, 1 Fast, 10 Fast, 2 Fast, 10 slow, 3 Fast, 10 fast, 10 fast.... Have I read it wrong? Or does it look right.. And how do I work out the code? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimjim Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I THINK that works out too.... P0102 MAF Sensor P0300 Random Misfire Does that look right peeps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark@Abbey m/s Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 have you started the car with the MAF disconnected this will cause both those CEL,s , disconnect the battery for a couple of minutes this should cure this problem ( make usre you do reconnect the MAF 1st thou) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it WAS started (a few times) only firing on 4 cylinders. When we put the coils back onto the sparks, two of them were not sitting right... so it mis-fired. We whipped the coils off again, re-seated them, and she now runs fine. Taken her out and she actually feels like she pulls BETTER now. Presume that is down to the new sparkies Alex sorted for me.... So how do I reset the error codes? Shouldn't the "dance" do that? (Lesson one, never put EVERYTHING back on... cover, strut brace etc BEFORE checking it fires up fine!)

slimjim Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 BLOODY USELESS!!!! I managed to get the Engine light to flash... but DIDN'T read the extra "Hold Gas for 10 to reset" line... Light reset... all looking good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
