sebo-z Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Hi All, today I tried the manual method of checking the engine codes, so as per ECU reset procedure i played with the stopwatch and the acceleration pedal, and I think it worked well, except that results are a bit of a mystery to me... What I got were 2 long blinks, then 10 short ones, again 10 short ones, and then 1 short. After that it starts again, so 2 long ones, 10 short ones etc... So can anybody tell me if I'm right saying it's a P2001 code, if so what does it mean?I could'n find anything on the web, maybe someone here has got a complete list of error codes for 350z? I'm thinking of completing the reset procedure, but could that have any "side effects"? And would 2001 error still be there after the ECU reset? Car works just fine, I bough it 2 months ago (UY GT4 #123/176 - loooove it ), don't really have any problems, it recently had the P3 service done, everything seems to be ok. I've got the clicking CV joint problem to sort out, but afaik that's got nothing do to with OBDII codes. I don't want to dig to deep, because "if it ain't broken-don't fix it", hehe. But still it would be nice to know for sure if it's something to worry about... Any ideas? Quote
daveparkin Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 Can't help with that code, but I do have a cable to read the code for you if it helps - am only near Wimborne in Dorset Quote
sebo-z Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 thanks daveparkin, have you tried comparing the "manual method" results with the reader - is it accurate? Quote
daveparkin Posted June 21, 2012 Posted June 21, 2012 I haven't compared, but I think the difficulty is interpreting the flashes of the MIL, and not missing any blinks. The cable and laptop just show the code in the application window, so there is no interpretation problem! I'd be very happy to read it for you if you were able to get to Wimborne (I presume yours is a UK car). An alternative is to do the 'pedal dance' method again and video the MIL flashes then post it up here - somebody may be able to help decipher it for you. Quote
sebo-z Posted June 21, 2012 Author Posted June 21, 2012 Ok, I'll try to establish what is the error number in the first place. Thanks for the offer, if I don't get it sorted over the weekend I might come and see you for help. Quote
daveparkin Posted June 22, 2012 Posted June 22, 2012 OK mate, no problem. Good luck with finding the code. Dave P.s. I don't think P2001 is a code used on the 350z Quote
sebo-z Posted June 25, 2012 Author Posted June 25, 2012 Right, found someone with the OBDII reader - no errors found I haven't re-tried the manual method, but I will today. The results may vary though as I had the battery disconnected nearly whole Saturday... Quote
