Is your Nissan’s check engine light on? Maybe your car is telling you to “service engine soon”. Don’t worry, we’ve compiled a list of Nissan fault codes to help you find out what is causing it!
When your Nissan has a problem, its On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) system will log a fault code so a mechanic can identify and troubleshoot the error.
Often the cause is something you can fix at home with a mechanic’s tool set, and avoid having to visit a Nissan dealer and pay a premium to use their diagnostic tools.
If you have access to an OBD-II scanner, you can search for the check engine light code that is causing issues in your car. This will help you to get a better idea of what might be wrong with your vehicle.

Nissan Check Engine vs Service Engine Soon Lights
Different trouble codes will display as different lights on your dashboard, so even if your Nissan is not showing a “Check Engine” light, but it is showing “Service Engine Soon”, and it hasn’t been long since your last service, chances are it is logging a fault code.
Diagnostic codes in this list that start with “P1” are Nissan-specific. If your car is showing a fault code that is not on this list, it’s time to consult a local dealer or workshop that specializes in working with Nissans for more in-depth troubleshooting.
