the dealership wants to charge me a stupid $95 canadian to pull the code and if its covered under powertrain warr he will remburse me money heres where my dilema is... i have powertrian warranty is till Oct 25th of this year.....

Did you retighten the gas cap after u check it. Cause I usually retighten mine once the cel goes on and it goes away after a 3 cycle drive, meaning you drive it 3 times and it should go away. Thats what I got from the owners manual.

Darren, don't you work at a Nissan dealership? If so, why not get the service guy to pull the code for you. Any OBDII system will pull the code.

I never reset my ecu. The 3 cycle drive is when you drive it 3 times. For example I drove my car once and parked it, I did that 3 times and after the 3rd time when I start the car the light goes off. I drove about 10-15 miles for each time since thats how far I have to drive to get to work or school. Hope this helps for future reference.
