Hey everyone, 

I've read quite a few articles and forums about this if not all of them, however I couldn't find anything that could help me. for a bit of context, I've had an accident and my pedestrian hood pop up system activated. I have replaced the actuators with resistors and replaced the module itself with a second hand one. However I still have the light on the dash, I've tried the pedal dance and tried clearing fault codes with a cheap scanned but nothing has worked. the light on the dash is solid unlike other instances when it flashes.

so my question is, what do I need to do now that I've replaced the actuators and the module, would the crash sensors store crash data and need replacement too? or do I need to find someone with a consult tool to reset the system? I don't think I can go to a dealer because I've replaced the actuators with resistors. 

I believe @The Max solved it by resetting the module's EEPROM, but I don't have any access to the equipment needed and don't really know anyone in Sydney that does that kind of service, anyone has an idea if someone like that exists?

Does the different module need to be paired with the BCM for it to talk?  Are you sure the resistors are the correct value to imitate the bonnet actuators?  The impact may have damaged one of the sensors behind the bumper too.

I doubt any sensor would have the ability to store data, you may need someone who can read the codes to determine what is triggering the light.

The pedal dance is really difficult to do with the push button start as it takes a second or so for the button to actually turn the ignition on/off, so you have to compensate for that when pressing the button after 'x' seconds.

Nissan Datascan III might work, it can read a lot of the components in the Q50 (but not all).

I'm not sure if it needs to be paired with the BCM or not tbh, there's really no information online or a service manual that tells you what to do after replacing the module. I believe the resistors are correct, I bought them of ebay where the specific part number and system was mentioned and they came ready with the correct connector and everything. 

With the pedal dance, I'm not sure if that can even solve my problem as it requires the light to flash, mine doesn't do that, it just stays solid the whole time. 

I might look into getting that Nissan Datascan III software, see if it helps. Thanks mate.
