I just perchased this car, MIL bulb missing. Need any advice to be offered. What I do know, speedo is working, car is running pretty well, no noticeable issues, please help! Thanks in advance for expertise and advice
Given you have no background on the car, you just want to replace the MIL bulb, clear the codes and see if any of them come back. After all there are no symptoms by the sounds of it..... just a thought!

Thank you, I will try to install bulb, how do I clear stored codes, also, i can't pass NC state inspection til I get a clean OBD II bill of health, I didn't even know any codes were thrown til going to get it inspected today. I greatly appreciate the reply and advice! Thanks again
To clear the codes, you'll need a code reader. AutoZone reads codes for free, they may clear them for free too.... not sure. I believe you'll have to go through another drive cycle before you go to the emissions test again though. I don't know the Infiniti drive cycle off-hand.

Thanks so much, what is a drive cycle? I understand OBDII, codes, but wtat and how do I accomplish a drive cycle ps your input has truly been appreciated
I found this on the net. I don't know if it's an "official generic OBD-II" drive cycle or not. It's probably worth a shot.
RUNNING AN OBDII DRIVE CYCLE
Suppose you have "fixed" an emissions problem on an OBDII-equipped vehicle. How can you check your work? By performing what is called an "OBDII drive cycle."
The purpose of the OBDII drive cycle is to run all of the onboard diagnostics. The drive cycle shold be performed after you have erased any trouble codes from the PCM memory, or after the battery has been disconnected. Running through the drive cycle sets all the system monitors so that subsequent faults can be detected.
The OBDII drive cycle begins with a cold start (coolant temperature below 122 degrees F and the coolant and air temperature sensors within 11 degrees of one another).
NOTE: The ignition key must not be on prior to the cold start otherwise the heated oxygen sensor diagnostic may not run.
1. As soon as the engine starts, idle the engine in drive for two and a half minutes with the A/C and rear defrost on. OBDII checks oxygen sensor heater circuits, air pump and EVAP purge.
2. Turn the A/C and rear defrost off, and accelerate to 55 mph at half throttle. OBDII checks for ignition misfire, fuel trim and canister purge.
3. Hold at a steady state speed of 55 mph for three minutes.
OBDII monitors EGR, air pump, O2 sensors and canister purge.
4. Decelerate (coast down) to 20 mph without braking or depressing the clutch. OBDII checks EGR and purge functions.
5. Accelerate back to 55 to 60 mph at half throttle. OBDII checks misfire, fuel trim and purge again.
6. Hold at a steady speed of 55 to 60 mph for five minutes.

Well went to get all the codes cleared, all are clear and I found what *may* have caused the VSS according to a forum specific to my vehicle. what I was wondering is if the codes would come back how long does it usually take? Also, when the guy cleared the KS(p0325) he said it wouldnt clear, he said he tried it 3 times? I do know that the ks on my vehicle only throws ghost codes, meaning it alone will not illuminate the CEL. I have purchased a KS, but i'm wondering even if I install, will it remove the KS code if it couldnt be cleared via a scantool? Any info appreciated
