Hi there, I got this dashboard light pop up today and looking from it its something to do with the hood? I'm wondering why I'm getting it as my hood is okay and its intact well.
I have disconnected the battery as well for 24hours and connected and still is there. Please if anyone knows help would be appreciated thanks! Photo attached for reference

Looks kind of like an a$$-backwards hood or trunk warning, or maybe the deck latch if it's a hardtop vert. I've never seen that one before.

According to your Owners Manual it is "Approaching Vehicle Sound for Pedestrians (VSP) OFF indicator light"

Turn the sound back on and that indicator will go away.

P.S. No need to use a large font, we can read it just fine. :bigthumb:

Wow, that's weird. Here's what the Leaf VSP warning looks like. It's the same icon on the Ariya but located in the cluster:

And where on earth did you find a Fuga hybrid OM, Noel? Outstanding! :bigthumb:

Well, as luck would have it, the OM I found was in Japanese. :ohno: So I cross-referenced it with the 2012 Infiniti M35h.

Hi all after some looking online I found the fix and it worked, I had to reset the hood bonnet sensor via this method:
