Nissan Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
Our dash warning indicators inform us about vehicle issues. Some of these lights regard periodic maintenance. Others cover serious issues. Let's learn about ten indicator lights most commonly seen in Nissans today.
Airbag Fault
When this light appears, your airbags or seat belts may malfunction. Please do not drive for long with this restraint-system problem. Find a service center soon. We want your airbags to deploy if you need them properly.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
When you are low on fuel, you will get this indicator on your dashboard. Please do not ignore it. Stop for gas. You have about a gallon remaining in your tank.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Your oil pressure is low if you see this light. Stop safely and check your oil. If the level is acceptable, you'll need service before your car functions properly.
Service Vehicle Soon
This light indicates that you have crossed the number of miles recommended for an oil change by your car's builder. Make a service appointment. Your service pro will replace your oil and filter, and they will perform other appropriate maintenance for your odometer's mileage.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
This indicator tells you that your tire pressure has fallen dangerously below the range at which you can safely operate your car. Stop for air. If your levels are fine while the light still shines, your sensors require service.
Slip Indicator
Your car has traction control and electronic stability control if you see this light. A quick flash means that either feature has engaged due to inadequate pavement contact. It will disappear when you gain full traction. If the indicator shines without a traction problem, the attached features need repair soon.
Charging System Warning Light
You'll see this light if your battery cannot properly charge. It means some part of your charging system requires repair. Potential parts needing replacement include your battery, wiring, alternator, or fan belt.
Brake System
Attached to your braking components, this light indicates a fault. Please do not drive long with this light present. It would be best if you had repairs to your brake calipers, master cylinder, or fluid lines.
Open Door Warning Light
When you have an open door while your car's power is engaged, this indicator will appear. Shut all open doors before commencing your drive.
Coolant Level Warning
This indicator warns of a serious problem. Do not drive your car with this indicator lit. It warns you of a low coolant level. Insufficient engine coolant causes extreme temperatures and expensive damage.
