Nissan - Reset

This document provides instructions for resetting the electronic control unit (ECU) on a Nissan Titan truck. It describes both a standard method involving disconnecting the battery for a period of time, as well as a quicker "easy method" that can reset the ECU within 30 seconds without tools by precisely depressing and releasing the accelerator pedal at timed intervals while the ignition is on and off. Additional sections provide procedures for learning the accelerator pedal position, throttle valve closed position, and idle air volume on the Titan's ECU.

Nissan Titan Forum

I came across this info a couple of months ago while cruising the 350Z section
of the Technosquare site. With the exception of the ecu reset procedure, all the
other procedures here are available in the Titan service manual. The ecu reset
procedure in invaluabe, as it allows almost instant reset of the ecu's RAM
instead of the usual method of disconnecting the battery and guessing as to
how long you must leave it disconnected.

ECU Resetting Procedures

Timing is extremely critical. If it is NOT DONE within the specify time, the ECU
will not reset and the Check Engine Light (CEL) will continue to remain ON. A
stop watch or an analog clock with a second’s needle will be useful.

Operations Procedures

1. Con rm that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and
wait 3 seconds.
2. Repeat the following steps (2a and 2b) procedures quickly ve times within 5
seconds.
2a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD).
2b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
3. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 10
seconds until the CEL starts blinking.
4. Fully release the accelerator pedal (while the CEL is still blinking)
5. Wait about 10 second.
6. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for more than 10 seconds.
7. Fully release the accelerator pedal (The CEL light will continue to blink).
8. Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position and now you can start the car. The CEL
light should be gone.
If the CEL light continues to remain ON, repeat the above steps. Timing is
EXTREMELY critical to resetting the ECU.

Edit: Added the "Easy Method" for ECU Reset

The Easy Method:


After experimenting with different timing, and reading posts by other members,
I've come up with a condensed method of doing this reset. This method works
EVERY time, even w/o a stopwatch. I've used this method successfully a dozen
times, or so, now w/o a watch. After a few times, you won't need a watch or
instructions. You'll get so darn good at it, you'll nd yourself doing it while
waiting at a tra c light.

Timing is not as critical with this method...no stop watch needed. Just count in
your head...one-one thousand, two-one thousand, etc, or use stop watch. The
most critical step is step #3....wait 10 sec, instead of 7.

1. Ignition "ON", count to 3.


2. Depress/Release pedal 5 times...hard and fast.
3. Count to 10 (not 7!) and fully depress pedal
4. Count to 12 (SES should be blinking), release pedal
5. Count to 10, depress pedal
6. Count to 10, release pedal.
7. Turn off ignition, then start engine. Done!

Accelerator Pedal Release Position Learning

Operation Procedure

1. Make sure that the accelerator pedal is fully released.


2. Turn ignition switch “ON” and wait at least 2 seconds.
3. Turn ignition switch “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Turn ignition switch “ON” and wait at least 2 seconds.
5. Turn ignition switch “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds.

Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning

Operation Procedures

1. Make sure that accelerator pedal is fully released.


2. Turn ignition switch is “ON”.
3. Turn ignition switch is “OFF” wait at least 10 seconds.
Make sure that the throttle valve moves during above 10 seconds by con rming
the operating sound.

Idle Air Volume Learning (Throttle Position Learning)

It is better to count the time accurately with a clock.


1. Perform “Accelerator Pedal Released Position Learning”.
2. Perform “Throttle Valve Closed Position Learning”.
3. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
4. Turn ignition switch “OFF” and wait at least 10 seconds.
5. Conform that accelerator pedal is fully released, turn ignition switch “ON” and
wait 3 seconds.
6. Repeat the following (steps 7a, 7b) procedures quickly ve times within 5
seconds.
7a. Fully depress the accelerator pedal (HARD)
7b. Fully release the accelerator pedal.
8. Wait 7 seconds, fully depress the accelerator pedal and keep it for approx. 20
seconds until the Check Engine Light (CEL) stops blinking and turned ON.
9. Fully release the accelerator pedal within 3 seconds after the CEL is ON.
10. Start engine and let it idle.
11. Wait 20 seconds.
12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure the idle speed and
ignition timing are within the speci cations.
