Hi, I did a wrong hook up of my head unit and since then, even though I have fixed the wiring of the head unit, the open bonnet warning light is still on. I have done an engine light scan and tried to remove this light but no success. I have also disconnected my battery for 20 minutes and then when that did not work I left the battery disconnected overnight but the light is still on when I drive off. It does flicker a little at the start but stays on. 

Can anyone offer an answer? 

Thanks John 

Yes, that is the light, a picture of the front of a car with the bonnet up. My car is a 2008 skyline 370GT. 

I have checked the fuses in fuse box by the accelerator, all good there. 

I have checked out the fuses in the little easily accessible fuse box in front of the battery but i haven't gone into the big fuse box under the trim pierces next to the battery. That is my next port of call tomorrow. 

What do you mean by the bonnet pop up component of the SRS. If it is then how do I test that and how do I fix it? 

Thanks John

When you hit a pedestrian, explosive charges pop the rear of the bonnet up to provide more crumple space above the engine to soak up the pedestrian/car energy to reduce injury. These are, obviously, self destructive and need replacing after such a thing.

There are hundreds of posts by V series owners on here whinging about it. Look them up.

Hey John.

 

The following works on my v36.

I've done this many times.. may take a few tries to get it.

 

The procedure to reset Pop-Up Hood 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

😎 Turn Off

Hi, with reference to step number two:

The light does not Turn off for more than a milli second and so I cannot kill the ignition fast enough before it comes back.

turn off for more than a milli second and so I cannot kill the ignition fast enough before it comes back but I am killing it as soon as I can.

With subsequent Steps and the light blinking three times it does not actually turn off after that so I am killing the ignition on the third flash. Is this correct?

Does this issue show up in an ODBII error code scan? if so, have you tried clearing the error codes? On my 350GT I had an error that I could clear (temporarily until it occurred again or I had it fixed). When the error was flagged, it turned my VCD off, but clearing the code and restarting the car, temporarily cleared the issue

I had this light on my Q50 when I bought it as the previous owner had unplugged one of the impact sensors for a bit, the above process worked for me, but I had to allow for the time it takes for the system to respond to the start button, so I had to press the button at about the 5sec mark, so the ignition actually turned off at 7sec.  so you had to kind of pre-empt the time it takes for the light to turn off.

otherwise, you may need something like NDSIII or a consult to clear it.  I don't think an OBDII reader will do it, could be wrong though.

On my 350GT, I used NDSII, running on Android, connected to the ECU via a Bluetooth OBDII reader.

Thanks for this. It worked first time for me.

    • That's not a transistor --- it's marked ZD1 which makes it a zener diode. As to what the breakdown voltage is, not enough there to divine.
    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • The incentives are mostly the same, yes. Ethanol is cheap compared to the cost of doing 98-100 RON with crude oil alone. 87 to 93-94 AKI all with E10. In 2020 Canada mandated E10 as a part of their "renewable fuel standard" and is supposedly going to go to E15 in 2030. In California where there are only 8 refineries with two threatening to shut down next year it's been over 20 years now of E10 and 91 AKI maximum because there's just not enough refinery capacity or crude oil supply relative to the demand for premium unleaded fuel. And CARB's low carbon fuel standard means functionally none of the diesel available at the pump is made from crude oil anymore. It's almost all entirely 20% biodiesel blended with 80% renewable diesel (hydrotreated vegetable oil) now. The number of gasoline vehicles that support E15 or higher ethanol concentrations is surprisingly low, I can't imagine it being wise to play tricks like this without flex fuel sensors in most of the fleet.
    • It's almost certainly the same as the one next to it.

    • South Australia, which is hardly as far behind as the rest pf Oz makes out, and who is also not a paragon of progressiveness (read that as over-legislation) in the area of vehicle standards, has this to say on the subject: Adjustable coil-over suspension Aftermarket adjustable coil-over suspension components are suspension units that incorporate an external thread on the main body and corresponding threaded spring saddle that allows the vehicle's suspension height to be varied. If fitting aftermarket or coil-over suspension components you must submit an Application to modify a light motor vehicle form and a report from a light vehicle engineering signatory (LVES).
