This afternoon when I went to start the car I noticed the check engine light on. I was thinking thats kinda strange what couldve been wrong. So I went to autozone and scanned the code and it came out to be U1010. I tried looking this code up but no luck on details. What I did find was a tsb on it.

I drive an '03 but have had this happen to me.

A couple of things ... first, ensure you closed the gas cap tightly the last time you filled the car. Not doing this will result in the check engine light coming on. Something else could be gas station related --as mine was. There was an issue with the gas pump I regularly used to fill the car with. Every time I filled it up I would get the CE light on for 2 - 3 days and suddenly it would clear as fast as it came on. Since changing gas stations this is no longer an issue.

A n Infiniti mechanic could also look up what the code means for you usually for free.

Yeah, first thing I did was retighten the gas cap. Since they had a tsb on it I'm gonna bring it back to the dealer. I'm sure my service advisor is sick of seeing me there all the time. lol
