How to Reset the Code on an Infiniti

How to Reset the Code on an Infiniti

You can reset the code on your Infiniti right from your home garage, saving yourself time and money. If your Infiniti was manufactured in 1996 or later, you need to purchase an OBD II scan tool. If your Infiniti is an earlier model, you need to buy an OBD I scan tool. In either case, you can purchase one of these tools from your local auto parts retailer. The Infiniti comes equipped with an on-board diagnostics computer that stores trouble codes. The scan tool reads the trouble codes to help you troubleshoot the problem with your vehicle. Once the vehicle has been serviced or repaired, you or your mechanic may need to reset the code using the scan tool.

Instructions

    1

    Locate the OBD port on the drivers side dash underneath the steering column. Plug the OBD scan tool into this port. Dont force it in because you may bend the pins inside.

    2

    Put the key into the ignition and turn it to the "on" position, taking care not to start the engine.

    3

    Wait while the scan tool interfaces with the computer. Select "Delete Codes" or a similar command to erase the codes and reset the computer. Wait until the scan tool indicates that it has completed the task.

    4

    Unplug the scan tool from the port and start the engine. Verify that all warning and service lights have shut off.
