Manners Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 On my way home today the Z Decided to have a jolt and then light up my dash to try and make me feel festive. ESP/Traction control and engine lights came on. After pulling over and turning it off and waiting for a while, the ESP/traction control light has gone out, however the engine light is still on. No difference in how it drives now, but I'm just wondering if this has happened to anyone else or something similar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex350z Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 This happened to me, did it go into limp mode the first time? I turned it off and back on and it was just the engine light. Did the pedal dance and its back to normal now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manners Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 The car or me? Yeah it lost power, similar to how my old corsa used to go when the turbo cut out. The pedal dance? Is that something that can reset the lights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex350z Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Yes, look it up on here. I wish id checked the codes now before resetting it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stutopia Posted December 8, 2015 Share Posted December 8, 2015 Best few quid you'll ever spend on your car I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manners Posted December 8, 2015 Author Share Posted December 8, 2015 Any particular brand/model that's worth looking at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stutopia Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Do a quick search, you'll get hits, but if you're thinking of going for a mobile connecting one and you have an iphone, you need wifi not bluetooth. Don't know if you're JDM or not but you need to check the reader if you are. Couple of recentish examples. http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/94389-what-bluetooth-obd-dongle-to-buy/ http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/101554-fault-code-reader/ There's loads on ebay/amazon but some of them just flat out don't work - at a few quid though, it's not a disaster.

Pimm Junior Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 The pedal dance can be found in "350z FAQ" then in "Guides" pretty sure it's the one at the top pinned at that point Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
