I had the cel come on and pulled a code out then I reset it right after pulling the code. I finally replaced the o2 sensors today, 5 days later.

I reset the code according to the instructions from the faq. My question is if there is a problem next time will it trip the cel light again? Assuming I reset it properly (got code 0505 after resetting)

Reason I'm concerned is someone from work told me you have to bring it to a mechanic, dealer, etc to have them reset it with a special machine or else the cel won't function next time.

By the way, after some struggling I did get the o2 sensors replaced (thanks to all who helped) WARNING : DON'T get the bosch universal sensor even if they say it's compatible with maximas. It ISN'T. I ended buying 2 oem (returned the universal) and they worked perfectly.

Does no one have any idea if the cel will function after resetting it this way?

you have absolutely nothing to worry about. im swaping ecu's out all the time, always checking, reseting, the ecu. I have had auto ecu's in my manual and who knows what else.

as long as you follow the faq (turn clockwise - 2sec - turn back - and repeat once more) and the light goes off you are good.
