    1995 Altima computer codes

    Folks,

    I'm looking at my son-in-law's 1995 Altima in hopes of tracking down his
    check engine light code.

    My research on the Web has turned up conflicting information.

    It looks to me like the ECU is on the floor at the front of the center
    console. My understanding is that one turns a diagnostic knob clockwise for
    two seconds and then returns the knob all the way counter-clockwise while
    the key is ON (not running). If that is correct where is that knob? Side
    of the ECU? Somewhere else? Does it take a screwdriver to turn it? Where
    is the indicating LED on the computer that flashes to reveal the stored
    code.

    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    Yes. You've found it. No knob but there is a screw driver slot under
    a piece of transparent tape. You should find the slot in the
    10:30\4:30 position stop and the next stop should be at the 1:30/7:30
    position. Be careful the stops can break if excessive torque is
    applied afterwhich the screw will turn no end.

    OK. Thanks for the reassurance. My eyesight was letting me down while
    trying to look at this thing from an awkward angle.

    Now is there an LED on the computer itself to watch? The reason for asking
    is that the check engine bulb recently burned out. Replacing it will be
    another task.

    An error code(s), or a 5 long 5 short no stored code, will be signaled
    via the check engine lamp after the screwdriver slot is moved from the
    first position to the second position then back to the first position.
    Multiple error codes will be given in sequence. You must replace a
    burned out check engine lamp in order to see the codes unless you can
    figure a way to access the circuit path and intercept with a meter.

    OK. That's what I was afraid of. Is it very difficult to access the check
    engine bulb?
