Hi, friends,

I have a 2000 Maxima with 50,700 miles that just passed inspection 3 weeks
ago, and mechanically is in excellent condition. Four days ago, the Service
Engine Soon light came on, and the manual says to first check the gas cap to
make sure it's on tightly, and that it may take a couple of driving trips
until it recycles itself.

The light is still on after 3 days of driving, and I was hoping someone out
there may be able to give me a possible reason why it is on, and what, if
anything, I can do to reset it myself, short of bringing it to the dealer.

thanks!

Replace that sensor if problem persists, relatively easy DIY-project if you have the proper O2 socket-tool

Batt off =ECU reset on 2k2 max every time.  This very basic fact is easy for all owners to verify, on all models

I dont go into used chip types,  databus width -or- clock rate etcetc -as that info isnt given ouy by Nissan. Oh boy youre funny. Maybe your cowboy 'BS' bits [you mentioned] dont run on 12V but...

The FSM (follow the mentioned links, it pay$) tells that there is a self learn curve after reset. Also it details how to "teach" the ECU with a 20min drive pattern. Anyways, without thie 'teaching session' ECU seems to learn by itself, just on longer time span -if- that approach is not followed
