Default Service Engine Light, WTF (need help)

I have 2600 miles, installed the JWT PopCharger at 2200 miles. On the way back from a road trip toad, my service engine light pops on.

How do I get this to go away? Will the dealer fix it? What about my popcharger? Will the dealer say its that Mod and charge me to turn the light off?

Should I disconnect the negative battery terminal? And if so, for how long?

Thanks for any help!

Disconnecting the battery does nothing for the 350z here is Z a link to the correct wat to reset your factory ecu . Keep in mind though this service engine light may be unrelated to your popcharger and you might be ignoring a serious problem!

Take it to AutoZone or a similar place and see what the code says, they can clear it if you want.

Suggest putting the stock intake back on and going to the dealer for a possible ECM reflash.

Well I tried to reset it, no luck. I will take it to auto zone and see if they can reset it.

I DO NOT want to take the Pop charger off just for the dealer to reset the Check Engine Light.

My question is, do I have to take it off? I am almost certain the dealer will say its the po charger causeing the engine light to go on, and they will charge me to reset it.

Figures, the week after I pay it off, crap starts going wrong.

You can always buy the little gizmo they use to check it for about $100
