Service Engine Soon Light
Just driving to work today and all of the sudden the service engine soon light appears. My car has 42.6K miles and it had an oil change at the dealer about a month ago.
I turned off the car when I arrived at work and restarted it with the same light appearing.
Any ideas what it might be?

^^^ you can't read the code without an OBDII reader. Most parts stores like checkers, auto zone etc.. will read the code for you and tell you what it is. If you post the code on here, I'll check it against the infiniti service manual and tell you whats wrong and what could be the cause, plus how to diagnose the fix. This way the stealership wont rip you off !

From my understanding, the hidden diagnostics menu pertains to all the a/v stuff in the car. It will show errors with the speakers, back up camera, ipod hookup, sat antenna, nav unit etc.. as well as run self diagnosis to make sure your a/v components are functioning properly. It will not display CEL's (check engine light) or the codes associated with them.

There IS a way to get codes without a OBDII You just have to know what the codes mean. I've gotten all my codes this way from aall my nissans and infinitis
The check engine light will flash in a style like sos and give you the codes once you enter diagnostic mode. for example (just random number) 0375 would be 10 flashes. then a pause then 3 flashes then a pause then 7 flashes, pause then 5 pause then repeat.

After step 3 when the check engine light blinks that is when you get the code. get the code and finish the rest of the reset ecu or turn the ignition off.
