All i had to do on my Dodge Ram 1500 HEMI, was to disconnect the Neg. Terminal on my battery for a bit.. And you can spped the process, by turning your ignition key while its un-hooked. This will help drain it..
From what i understand, that when you reset the ECU you erase you drive habits that the car learns. This helps optimize max performance, or so they say. When i reset the one on my Ram, it increased my HP and MPG, and worked well with after market parts. The computers are designed to reset back to Stock Performance, even after you add aftermarket parts on it. Thats the reason to buy a TUNER, or Chip to keep what you set it to. This worked for my Ram, and i had to do it 2-3 times a month to get it to work correctly.. It does work. As for the Maxima, i think i read somewhere on here that it basically does the same thing.. It's a Learning/Smart Chip in your ECU that needs to be reset/drained..etc..

Hope you understnd my meaning.. guys??

Thanks for the tip- I know I'm gonna give it a shot. I seemed to have lost some power over the past few days. I'm wondering if my computer has made an adjustment. Earlier this month, I got a Nismo CAI. Response, power and sound were great until this week. Maybe resetting it will get that power back- worth a try.
guys, flashing our ECU's is possible just by the pedal/timing method? we dont need an Apexi etc etc..right? cause when i installed a new K&N filter...even such a small mod, throttle response felt crazy...but only for like 2 days. so im hopin that method works.. are those the directions uptop? thanks.
my SES light came on again, for the umpteenth time, while under warranty, dealer dealt with it, now out of warranty and on again, tried the "A33B" multiple times, never even gets the SES light to flash...some secret I am missing??? Takes something special to see the error codes? I had a mechanic with some type of analyzer that checked it and then cleared it for me twice. Something available to public. I do own the FSM, but, cannot find a reference to resetting the ecu anywhere...
The day your car blows up as a result of that procedure is the day I will sign over all my retirement, life savings and all my personal possessions to you.
Not to beat a dead horse but I've done the "idle air volume learning" procedure for my vehicle about 87459087435480 times now with a stop watch. I've also tried the 987590438 variations of the "idle air volume learning" procedures provided on other nissan related sites. Sometimes the SES light is gone after ignition and sometimes it's not. One thing that it does have in continuous fashion is a severly rough idle and the SES light comes on while driving. It will blink really fast on and off and then stay on after awhile. I just had my spacers installed and I'm wondering if I can just pull my neg cable and let the car sit over night and see if that will work. Maybe I just don't have the timing right for the procedure. Any help will be appreciated. Kevin

They all seems related to not doing the learning process correctly. I called the stealership and they said they would do an alignment (ecf programming) for 108 bucks. Thought it was a fair price to get my car back on the rode. It's been suspected that my tech touched the throttle body plate. I was told that throws the whole system out of whack and would definitely require an alignment. Nissan confirmed the suspected mistake. If any of you pro's were a beginner enthusiast like me, would you resort to letting the dealership do this to ease the stress?
Any advice on this will be great.
Thanks Again
Kevin
