Unhappy with life?

When I first heard of this regulation years ago, I had to reread the article as I thought "this must be California".

Watch it

Watch it

Hey, Minnesota is trying to push through legislation emulating Cali's automotive fantasies, so I'm in that same boat bailing water.

Get your downpipes now.

update should someone else find this

i found a really old obd2 scanner i had in the boot that obviously is better than the new one i bought

as after connecting it i downloaded Carista that found lots of error codes (carista did not work with my other obd2 Bluetooth dongle) ... BUT asked to pay to clear them
so then i went back to Torque Pro.... No errors!!! confused i continued search on Google Play Store and found Car Scanner (com.ovz.carscanner) that has a Infiniti mode - scanned and found lots of inactive/archived errors... one of which was:

U1000(00)
Raw code: D00000
ECU: Pop-up engine hood for pedestrian protection[Archive (inactive)]
Status: Confirmed
OBDII: Class 2 Communication Malfunction
Infiniti: SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Primary Id

cleared code and the light turned off immediately....

went for a drive, nothing reappeared!!

happy days, will probably pay for that app to keep it as very handy!

Does anyone know of a garage between Bristol and Birmingham (UK) that has experience of fixing this type of issue with the pop up bonnet warning light? I’ve just been told it’s a £800 part that needs replacing.

if its a defective electronic part - then i guess you can try and search it on ebay and replace yourself.
if you have part number i'm sure there will be a generic nissan or mercedes part (my MAF replacement was a mercedes part i got off ebay for like <£50 whereas garage quoted something crazy)

i would get a cheap obd scanner and the carscanner app (i think its still free for a few uses), and check what error code you get.

 

[Peter 65]

I’m not sufficiently competent of my ability to do that, unfortunately. I’m ok with topping up fluids but that my limit. Especially where electronics are concerned.

 

[Sonicii]

Get a quote for repair, hopefully it will contain the details of the part required, you can then search online for that part number. Unlikely to be a Mercedes part. The 2.0T and 2.2D engines are Mercedes, but that is about all the parts any Q50 shares.
I you can get the genuine parts cheaper, buy them and take them to the shop to install and clear the error code.

i found a good auto-electrician in Bristol, he cleared the code for the pop-up warning light within a few seconds. Not returned after 900 miles.

I have the same issue on my infiniti q50 2.2d 2016 but in my case when i bought it on the passenger side was a little bump on the corner I assume was hit the curb and my hood I'm struggling to get it close beacuse and sometimes when I'm getting the bums the hood pop up its obviously is something wrong and also Is missing the left front sensor but I'm not sure exactly the piece I need to look for any advice?

 

[Peter 65]

The auto electrician ran a lot of checks, or rather his computer did, and examined the actuators that fire the pop-up bonnet, they’re by the bonnet hinges. The actuators hadn’t fired, fortunately. He cleared all the codes and it looks like there was an issue with a sensor from when I’d had a minor bump. Haseebch’s advice matches my experience, so an OBD scanner could be the best way forward. Though how you find a reliable one I don’t know. The ones on EBay for under £10 look a bit dubious to me.

Good luck

Hi, I have the same issue with active bonnet light on. What scanner and program did you used to reset the light. Thanks

I have the same problem. Can you let me know what obd2 dongle you have and what app worked. My MOT is coming up and I can't get this warning off the dash and don't want to pay extortionate rates to a garage as I'm sure there is like only 1 authorised infiniti garage in the UK

Try this.

It worked on mine, this light was on when I bought the car because the previous owner had a front bumper repair and I suspect it was started without the front bumper, and therefore the impact sensors connected.
On my hybrid it seems to take a while to action a button press, so you have to press it about 1 sec before the specified time period so the ignition actually turns off when you need it to. not sure if the 2.2d is the same though.
Otherwise you need consult or a diag tool that can access the SRS system.

Hi, the page is not valid anymore. Do you remember what was the process on fixing this error?

 

[Sonicii]

I believe it was this, but it isn't easy, as mentioned, it takes a second or 2 for the car to recognise the button press, so you have to pre-empt the behaviour and press the button early or you miss the window.


The procedure to reset Pop-Up Hood light manually is:


1) Press twice the Start Button (Do not start the Engine, only instrumentation!)
2) wait about 7 sec, the Pop-Up light goes off ---> Press Start Button immediatly (Switch Off)
3) Press twice the Start Button (Do not start the Engine, only instrumentation!)
4) wait about 7 sec, the Pop-Up light goes off, Flashes 3 times, when goes off press Start Button immediatly (Switch Off)
5) Repeat steps 1-2-3-4
6) Press twice the Start Button (Do not start the Engine, only instrumentation!)
7) The Pop-Up light blinks slowly
8) Turn Off
