Resetting Engine Warning Light (Nissan Qashqai)

jaipal2004

Not all car interfaces / ECU's are available via odb2 so may require specialist software.

Hi . How did you get on with this ? The exact same thing has happened to me today . Did you just need to replace the pipe ?

Yep, I just replaced the pipe.  Cost £62.23 from a Nissan dealer.  I did try and shop around, but the price differences were negligible plus they held it in stock so I was able to collect and fit the part within a day.  The fitting was simple enough, even for me to manage

The engine management light did come on, so I bought a cheap bluetooth OBD2 reader from eBay.  But I failed to research properly as the Bluetooth ones aren't supported on iPhones.  

So had to use a laptop, with a lot of faff getting the software to work on the laptop.  Once I did get the software loaded on the laptop, it would connect to the car, but appeared to be more of a read-only capability...  The reset options all appeared to not work, however the management light did go off, eventually - however I have no idea how I did it .  I then also read that the ODB2 reader doesn't support diesels...

Faults stored in the Ecu will sometimes reset them selves after the car has been started x amount of times without the fault present.

I mentioned in an earlier post that the light should go out by itself.

Glad it's all done and dusted

I needed to get rid of the engine warning light because of the new MOT rules. I bought i
LC OBD OBD2 on Amazon for less than £9. Fantastic. Took no more than 3 minutes to plug in, connect to Bluetooth and use the app to clear the light.

I trust you fixed the underlying fault too?

No.The light has been there 6 months without any known problems. The two error codes were to do with the glow plug and something to do with the accelerator.

Ah that’s ok then The light must just come on for fun then

Glow plugs don’t usually throw an error light, but will log an error code in memory....well, not in BMW world anyway.

That EML will soon come back on.
