What is up with this code 0505?
I just checked my ECU 4 my 1st time after it been on my dash for awhile now, I got the code 0505 - No Failure Recorded/Detected - I kno I have a messed up speedometer because mine drops like 75% of all 4th gens and my alternator been given me problems. Any of you ever got this? How can my ECU not have detected these?

Are you saying your CEL was ON and you got that code or you where just checking it to check it?
I'm in Richmond and I have a scanner if you want to check your car out. Or you can go to Advanced. I've never seen this code when I use my ODB II scanner. But I only used it once when I first bought the scanner.

Same thing happened to me with code 0505. CEL came on and I cross referenced the code with the list in the stickies. Makes no sense to have a code for no fault detected. Maybe its a max's way of saying "im aite."
Made me worry a bit though, since after I cleared the code (no stored ones btw) it came back. Anyone have any idea what this is about?

Could just be a service reminder code that comes on at a certain mileage. Now back to what you said about the ECU not picking up on the speedometer and alternator problem. Its not designed to pick up every little thing that goes wrong with the car. It should tell you if you have a bad vehicle speed sensor but thats not the only thing that can throw a speedometer off. Reset it and if it doesn't come back on dont worry about it.

My theory
The ECU was triggered by something and that's why you got the SEL (duh). Maybe it was a "False Alarm" and the ECU recognized that but was unable reset the SEL. The engineers at nissan realised this could be an issue so they generated this code just to let you no the ECU did get a "False Alarm" but was unable to reset the SEL.
Only thing i can think of
