How to SHUT OFF your check engine light - Nissan Sentra, Versa, Rogue

Watch until the end, this does work to both read and reset your SES light.
Read the codes from your cars computer and reset your service engine soon and check engine soon light without any special tools.
Do NOT have the engine running during this procedure or you will damage your engine.
This has been tested on Nissan’s from approx 2004-2016 and have had successful results. Make sure to use a timer if you can’t get the timing right.
These are the steps you need to remember:
-Turn ignition switch to on position but do not start vehicle
-Count to 3, and press and release the gas pedal 5 times fast
-Count to 10, push the gas pedal all the way to the floor and hold it there
-Count to 12, release the gas pedal completely
-Count to 10, push gas pedal fully to the floor and hold or
-Count to 10, release gas pedal completely
-Turn ignition to OFF position, wait approximately 5 seconds
-Start vehicle….codes will be cleared.
Do NOT have the engine running during this procedure or you will damage your engine.
Video first shows the steps to this process then explains the steps. Then I show how to check the codes and then show you how to clear those codes.
CORRECTION TO VIDEO: I mentioned that I use a K&N oil filter, but I was actually meaning the K&N reusable AIR FILTER. These are fairly easy to over oil, and then the oil sucks from the air filter onto the MAF (Mass Airflow Sensor) causing a fault and a SES light to come on.

This worked on my 2013 Nissan Altima. It took me about 4 tries. My timing was off. My check engine light is now off! Thanks for the video.

[@SMR-Tactical]

Nice! Glad to hear it!

[@ResidentGG]

Thank you, Your video is the only one that works. Others are missing the last step!

[@SMR-Tactical]

You're welcome!

[@LovelyCroissant-ei1hq]

Thanks, worked on my 2016 Nissan Rogue. Make sure you press the pedal fast at the beginning. Also, do it with the video on. 4:32

[@i_refuse_2_quit609]

Thank you I am literally about to do it on my 2016 rogue as well.

[@LovelyCroissant-ei1hq]

@@i_refuse_2_quit609It took couple of tries to do it successfully. I was about to quit before it worked at the end. If it doesn’t work, there’s a cheap diagnostic tool on Amazon, less than 15 bucks, that can erase engine lights.

[@luisacevdo15]

Awesome! It worked on my Nissan Sentra 2014, thanks man. You saved me at least 50 bucks

[@SMR-Tactical]

Glad to hear! I appreciate you sharing!

[@PrevailPal]

It works on my 2014 Nissan Rogue, thank you so much. Very Informative and instructive

[@SMR-Tactical]

You're welcome!

[@barbarahockett7244]

It worked on my 2016 Nissan Sentra. Thank you thank you!!

[@SMR-Tactical]

You're welcome!

[@SamF0003]

I did it successfully… thank you My car is 2016 Nissan Versa SV… and it seems like I have the same diagnosis for the 4-digit code so it is the MAF sensor too then?… this is such big help… thanks again.

[@SMR-Tactical]

Correct. That 0101 code is a MAF sensor code. I would also recommend checking rockauto for the MAF sensor, they seem to be about half the price for the same exact MAF sensor as a brick and mortar parts store.

[@kilogramobravo3077]

I have a 2018 Nissan Titan and this will work perfectly. Thank you.

[@thinhtut]

Thank you very much. God bless!

[@SMR-Tactical]

You are quite welcome!

[@bennyvolleny186]

It worked on a 2017 Nissan Sentra. Thank you

[@DRGR9GRE9]

Worked for my 2018 rogue! I just had to put my car play on sleep (for those having a hard time doing it) took me a couple of tries but def did the job

[@SMR-Tactical]

Glad to hear it!

[@itsbigdub8172]

WHT do you mean by car play ? Like turn the radio off?

[@tallldarkandhandsome216]

It worked, It worked ................................................ for my 2013 Nissan pathfinder...... other instructions in youtube were wring. Yours was right. Thanks.

[@SMR-Tactical]

Glad to hear it!

[@jeffreysmith3754]

Worked on my wife's 2016 Sentra. Now I don't have to sheepishly go to the auto parts store and ask them to do it.

[@user-uz1pm4my6j]

It's worked!!! on my 2014 Altima. Thanks!!!

[@gurwinderhanda]

Good worked on my nissan sentra 2014

[@SMR-Tactical]

Good to hear!

[@rockygonzalez206]

This worked on my 2014 nissan sentra. I changed airmass flow sensor yesterday and check engine light came on today. Will i pass stare inspection tomorrow or should i drive more

[@SMR-Tactical]

If the light came back on there might still be a problem. You can get it into diagnostic mode and count the flashes to figure out the code, before resetting it…but yes…if you have already done all that I would reset the light and take it for a spin. Hopefully light stays off and you can run it through inspection without any issues. Good luck!

[@carolinadejesus3099]

Thank you so much!! You explained everything very well. ❤❤ this really worked thank you thank you!! Worked for 2016 Nissan rogue

[@SMR-Tactical]

You're welcome!

[@carolinadejesus3099]

Any suggestions for 2006 Toyota scion. The reader at auto zone stated that it needed an oxygen sensor. I changed it and the check engine light is still on .😢

[@Hootus65]

Worked on my 2019 Nissan Frontier

[@GabbieCarmona]

It worked on my 2013 Nissan Sentra thank you!! Will it help me pass my smog check?

[@SMR-Tactical]

It should. Most places will hook up a computer to your OBD port and read the cpu. If there are any codes present or an engine light on you will fail.

[@Kedrabbeastin]

It worked on my 2017 Nissan Versa

[@stanleygoodnight]

worked on 2013 Pathfinder!

[@septimusheap7391]

Worked for me 2015 altima

[@SMR-Tactical]

Awesome! I appreciate ya!

[@awais5768]

Wow this really works 😂

[@mainawaititu]

Thanks, this procedure worked on my nissan wingroad

[@SMR-Tactical]

Excellent! Glad to hear that!

[@dannyvenable1540]

Worked on 2018 rogue 😂

Thank you 🙏

[@stevenhistory]

thank you sir

[@JoanAlvarez-Coaching]

It worked

[@SMR-Tactical]

Glad to hear it!

[@bryanshanto8469]

Worked on 2017 rogue

[@landa_voigt]

Do you need to perform idle air volume learning after resetting the light? I've been seeing that in some places, but wasn't sure if it's necessary with this method.

[@SMR-Tactical]

That’s a good call. And depending on why the SES light was on…I would say absolutely you should do the idle air volume relearn. Worst case you are just resetting it when it isn’t needed, but best case…it needed resetting. I appreciate the input and am realizing I need to make a follow up/part 2 type video.

[@landa_voigt]

@SMR-Tactical thanks for the response! do you know if there's a way to do the relearn without an advanced scanner tool?

[@awakeneddrybones7777]

I've tried it twice on my 2015 Rouge. It's not working for me 🥴

[@carolinadejesus3099]

I just followed this yesterday. It really works. I had to do it twice. The first time my timing was off.

[@DazedFilipino]

Who came up with this cheat code system?

[@SMR-Tactical]

Nissan did. And it’s pretty smart in my opinion, because if you just memorize this procedure as I have done…you don’t need any fancy tools to read and then clear the codes. I love it.

[@rockygonzalez206]

Will it pass inspection after I do this and if so how long di I need to drive till it will pass

[@SMR-Tactical]

With the light off you should be good to pass inspection. Most places hook up to the OBD II port under the dash, so as long as you are actively throwing an error right then you should be good. I would clear the code and hopefully the light stays off.

[@user-vp5nl3fh7t]

Sorry but it didn't work on my Nissan Sentra 2016. I tried it 3 times and it failed each time.

[@SMR-Tactical]

Could be a few different things. Make sure all accessories are unplugged (any radar detectors or cameras or phone chargers….all that stuff needs to be unplugged). All accessories like the stereo and the a/c blower etc need to be turned to off. Lastly, use a stop watch or a phone to count the time, and hopefully you will have better luck.

[@DelicatelyMocha]

😢 didn’t work 2017 Nissan rogue

[@SMR-Tactical]

It could be because the fault or error is still present and still being detected by the computer, not sure though…but it should work on your vehicle. I would make sure the problem has been fixed/corrected, then follow the steps again and I think the procedure may work for you. Good luck!

[@iCrello]

Will this clear battery code ?

[@hollywoodclipp]

Woohhhh hooooo that shii workedddd
