Question Service Engine Soon @ 860 miles???

My "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" lighted up when I had only 860miles on my ODOMETER, is this NORMAL???

I thought that this light will normally come up when is near to 3750miles for the first SERVICE & MAINTENANCE. Can anyone help me out here?

Thanks in advance!!!

Nismo133, thanks for your reply. Main problem now is that NISSAN Paraguay won't take care of any vehicles that are not imported by them.... this really SUCKSSSS!!! Is there any other way to check the code or anything I can do about it?

Well, the truth is that this light came up after I started the engine without connecting both of the AIR SENSOR on the pipes. I also noticed the TSC/SLIP light came up as well, so I STOP the engine immediately. After this, I found out the driver's sensor was not connected so I did connect it immediately. Following this, the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light come up...

Could it possible be that when I started the engine without connecting the AIR SENSOR correctly and caused some malfunction there or anything like that? Maybe some dirt got into and causing this problem now???

Most likely caused by starting the car without the sensors plugged in correctly. Use the Technosquare ECU reset procedure and don't worry about it unless the light comes on again. If it comes on again, get an OBDII scan tool to find out what code it's thrown and then post up again.

You might consider disconnecting the battery for a few minutes. I hope that helps.

Thanks PACFWU, I followed the TECHNOSQUARE ECU reset procedure today but maybe not within the specify time, therefore without any luck!!! I will try to disconnect the battery tonight and see what happens tomorrow.

It's a Nissan corporate message. Since you've taken the car over 150 mph your car will now lose it's warranty.

Just for your reference kiddo, unfortunately my NISMO don't have any warranty since the day it left FLORIDA...therefore your reply doesn't have anything to do with this THREAD. And FYI the light came up before I went over 150mph you FAILLLL~~~

YES SIR!!! WILL DO!!!
By the way, in the previous posts PACFWU already suggested me doing this.

"Most likely caused by starting the car without the sensors plugged in correctly. Use the Technosquare ECU reset procedure and don't worry about it unless the light comes on again. If it comes on again, get an OBDII scan tool to find out what code it's thrown and then post up again.

But still, really appreciate for your time dropping by and giving me some constructive reply to my inquiry. Now, problem solved by disconnecting and connecting back the battery after few mins.

Thanks TAC-M, wish you & ur family a very MERRY X-mas & GREAT NEW YEAR!!!
