After installing my Kendwood DDX , the "Service Engine Soon" light came up?

f**ing cables are so damn hard to get in there with out brutal pushing , hope I didn't kill a cable, but I checked it again an nothin is cut off or somethin ??

 

I did fill up the car, but the light didnt go on right after fillin it up?! later that night I installed my radio and after starting up the car the "SES light" when on?
I check my gas cap again and turned it a couple of times but the light is still oN?!

 

Did you unplug the little white box under the radio and behind the AC controls with the battery still hooked up? If so that is it, that box process many signals that will set off the light if diconnected with the battery still hooked up, lesson is to disconnect the battery before doing the work.

 

Take it to the dealer and they will reset it for you...Just play dumb so they wont charge u anything. I dont think they would but just to be on the safe side.

 

sh*t ! yeah I did disconnect the little white box... take it to the dealer?

 

I hope its not a problem to do the reset thingy here in germany? It should be the same allover the world with Nissans?

 

That will do it, try the reset procedure here and see if it takes care of it http://www.technosquareinc.com/350reset.htm

 

car dealer

 

yeah "car" dealer

 

the radio works fine I can controll everything...why?

 

i had the same problem after i installed my alpine head unit...some guy advised me to unplug the negative terminal of my battery and leave it for about 12 hours (overnight). came back, plugged it back in, and the light was gone. no problems ever since. voodoo magic, coincidence, or an actualy fix? who knows, but it made the light go away

 

That reset the ECU so same effect as reset procedure.

 

Now, does anyone know what I did here. I took out the passenger seat and now I have an airbag light on. I had the engine light on after I removed the console and cleared it by unhooking the battery for a few hours. Yes, I did it all with the battery connected. "Real men do all of their work while their cars are fully powered!!!" lol!!! I do disconnect it when working on the amps or any high powered stuff, though.

Thanks
