In a car with 30k miles, all those sensors should be covered. Well this is the G35 section, not the Rogue, but what sensor is your dealer talking about? You did not provide a name of the sensor, and you might want to talk to another dealer about it and see if it is indeed covered or not, or check your warranty papers. Then I was told that this part is not covered by warranty and will cost $500 to replace. It concerns me that one of my kids could have been driving and how the situation could have turned deadly. Does this make sense? This was a very dangerous situation, trying to coast off the interstate. The service tech said that when the sensor fails, this is how it is designed to operate to prevent further damage. Tried to turn it back up, but it shut back down. I turned the car off bec it was idling very rough. A warning was displayed 'chassis control system error'. I had to coast off the interstate to the side of the road. I was accelerating on the interstate this week and at 65 mph and it felt like the engine failed. I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue with 30,000 miles (purchased Jan 2016 from local dealer). Count to 12 (SES should be blinking), release pedalħ. Count to 10 (not 7!) and fully depress pedalĤ. Depress/Release pedal 5 times.hard and fast.ģ. The most critical step is step #3.wait 10 sec, instead of 7.Ģ. Just count in your head.one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc, or use stop watch. Timing is not as critical with this method.no stop watch needed. You'll get so darn good at it, you'll find yourself doing it while waiting at a traffic light. After a few times, you won't need a watch or instructions. I've used this method successfully a dozen times, or so, now w/o a watch. This method works EVERY time, even w/o a stopwatch. Timing is EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU.Įdit: Added the 'Easy Method' for ECU ResetĪfter experimenting with different timing, and reading posts by other members, I've come up with a condensed method of doing this reset. If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and now you can start the car. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).Ĩ. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.ħ. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)Ħ. 10 seconds until the CEL starts blinking.Ĥ. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).ģ. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly five times within 5 seconds.Ģa. Confirm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and wait 3 seconds.Ģ. A stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful.ġ. If it is NOT DONE within the specify time, the ECU will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON.

I was wondering if this is how to reset the ECU
