Theres a place called Lightspeed Innovations in Red Deer that does tuning with COBB. I talked to Cam about dyno tuning my Z for nitrous...2.5hrs its going to cost $700. That includes setting up, dyno time, tuning and installing a O2 bung for a wideband senser since they dont use the sniffer

If you know 100% there isnt any issues with the car try disconnect your battery for a few mins, usally that will kill the service light if its not a issue actualy going on.

... before you reset the ECU did you try clearing the code?

WTF! - $100 to plug in the 'puter and clear the code - that's insane! You can get your own hand held unit - Crappy Tire had them on sale for $59 not long ago. Dealers suck....

Yeah, but those $59 units from crappy tire won't clear a fault code from the 370. But still, if you get the proper unit (CAN), then do it yourself.

What do you need to get to be able to access the fault codes and reset them? Are they readily available?

Equus Innova 3360. Google it. Cost about $200 but does a whole lot more than clear codes.

Any "newer" ODB-II scan tool with the CAN (controller area network) protocol will do. These run around $150-$200. And yes, they do a lot more than clear fault codes. They will decode manufacturer specific codes and MIL issues.
