There are two ways, you can disconnect the battery negative cable for 5 minutes or you can reset it with a system scanner.

I have a 2000 Altima GXE. My alarm goes off intermittently and sometimes will not stop until battery lead is pulled. Have removed fuse and relay. Please help :)

It sounds like your water pump is going it usually vibrates throughout everything if it was your alternator it would show signs with your power the easiest way would to take your belt off remembering the belt route and spin the alternator pulley and the water pump pulley to see if they spin freely without noise

yes...your engine belt is little bit lose that's y its causing noise...and hope when u speed up..it will stop squealing ..right?? so just tight your engine belt little bit and it will solve your problem in a min...take care n have a safe journey...n also if it help...rate it plz

typically, this sounds like a wheel bearing. To test, the noise can often be altered by accellerating /decelerating, and more evident by turning the vehicle.

The truning process is to put load on one side, then the other. if the right side has a damaged bearing, for example, the noise would be noticibly altered (less in this case) when turning to the right. Load would be slightly less. Testing speed in the area of 25 to 35 mph.

No....the rpms differ from engine to engine and from manufacturer to manufacturer. RPM's are always higher at higher speeds.

My first reponse would be to remove ***********-in-law from the rear seat. LOL

Try applying the brakes lightly, does the squealing stop? If so it could simply be worn brake pads on that side however, this will usually happen a slow speeds as well. Another possibility could be your CV joint. Crawl under the vehicle on that side and check for a torn CV boot (rubber boot around the axel shaft where it comes out of the transmission/ or rear end and attaches to the spindle (wheel).
