ah i have the same problem with mine , but its been on for almost 5 months i took it back to the place where i bought it and the mechanic hooked up a computer and apparently he fixed it but the light turned on again in a week and has been on since , i think i should shoudl get it checked again but no problems for now, my advice is to get it checked by someone with the right equipment ---

I’ve typed this response several times… next time use the search feature 🙂 Anyway… here it goes: 1 pop open the passenger side kick panel… 2 locate the ECU - rectangular box under the kick panel 3 undo the 3 screws that hold the ECU 4 get a flat head screw driver 5 locate a hidden switch on the BACK end of the ecu 6 use the flat head screw driver to turn the switch all the way to the other end and back 7 REMEMBER NOT TO USE TOO MUCH FORCE WHEN TURNING ---

Don’t know if this trick works on Nissan’s but it does on almost all domestics if your check engine light is on. Turn the key on/off 5 times, ending in the on position. The check engine light should flash now. Depending on how many times it flashes, that is the code. For example, 25 would be: FLASH,FLASH…pause…FLASH,FLASH,FLASH,FLASH,FLASH ---

Don’t know, then please don’t post. the appropriate response has already been posted… turn the screw on the ECU. Turning your ignition on and off will not work on your 240SX. any year. okgthxbye
