Re: Drive Cycles to Clear ECM Monitors? Am I the Only One?

The TSB assumes you are a dealer and have a Nissan Consult system.  You
don't need the computer hook up to get it to initialized.  Just execute
the
sequence and you should be fine.  Do it twice if you want to make sure. 
Any
codes that set without lighting the MIL (like knock sensor) will not fail
you on an annual inspection.
