Hey everyone, 

I've read quite a few articles and forums about this if not all of them, however I couldn't find anything that could help me. for a bit of context, I've had an accident and my pedestrian hood pop up system activated. I have replaced the actuators with resistors and replaced the module itself with a second hand one. However I still have the light on the dash, I've tried the pedal dance and tried clearing fault codes with a cheap scanned but nothing has worked. the light on the dash is solid unlike other instances when it flashes.

so my question is, what do I need to do now that I've replaced the actuators and the module, would the crash sensors store crash data and need replacement too? or do I need to find someone with a consult tool to reset the system? I don't think I can go to a dealer because I've replaced the actuators with resistors. 

I believe @The Max solved it by resetting the module's EEPROM, but I don't have any access to the equipment needed and don't really know anyone in Sydney that does that kind of service, anyone has an idea if someone like that exists?

Does the different module need to be paired with the BCM for it to talk?  Are you sure the resistors are the correct value to imitate the bonnet actuators?  The impact may have damaged one of the sensors behind the bumper too.

I doubt any sensor would have the ability to store data, you may need someone who can read the codes to determine what is triggering the light.

The pedal dance is really difficult to do with the push button start as it takes a second or so for the button to actually turn the ignition on/off, so you have to compensate for that when pressing the button after 'x' seconds.

Nissan Datascan III might work, it can read a lot of the components in the Q50 (but not all).

I'm not sure if it needs to be paired with the BCM or not tbh, there's really no information online or a service manual that tells you what to do after replacing the module. I believe the resistors are correct, I bought them of ebay where the specific part number and system was mentioned and they came ready with the correct connector and everything. 

With the pedal dance, I'm not sure if that can even solve my problem as it requires the light to flash, mine doesn't do that, it just stays solid the whole time. 

I might look into getting that Nissan Datascan III software, see if it helps. Thanks mate.

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
