Nissan Vehicle Service Warning Indicators
We offer this page to help you familiarize yourself with your Nissan's warning indicators. These lights alert you to maintenance, repair, and safety issues. You'll likely find the following 10 indicators on your dashboard.
Airbag Fault
When this light stays lit after you start your car, your control system has discovered a fault in your airbag-related components. Until this problem is professionally repaired, you may not be able to rely on your airbags in a crash. Please do not ignore this serious problem.
Low Fuel Level Warning Light
We recommend that you stop for gas as soon as this light appears on your dash. While you can estimate your remaining fuel, don't risk going empty.
Oil Pressure Warning Light
Low oil pressure activates this dashboard light. In response, you should not run your engine. Check to see if your oil level is adequate, and add some if not. However, if the light stays on despite sufficient oil, your car will need professional service before you can safely run it.
Service Vehicle Soon
When you see this light, you may need an oil change and other scheduled maintenance. Your car may also illuminate this light because it needs minor repairs. For complete details about your SVS indicator, see your owner's manual.
TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)
This feature is required on new cars in the United States. It notifies you of low, unsafe tire pressure. You should return your tires' air to the pressure noted inside your driver's door. If the indicator remains lit, have a professional check your TPMS sensors.
Slip Indicator
Your car's traction control and stability control help it regain footing on slippery conditions. When those components engage, your slip indicator flashes. If this light glows when you're driving on dry pavement, have your slippage-fighting features checked by a professional.
Charging System Warning Light
Your battery's charging system helps it maintain its power. When your battery, alternator or voltage regulator fails, this light will appear. A professional technician can help you determine which component in the system needs replacement.
Brake System
This indicator warns you of trouble in your brake lines. You may lose brake pressure soon. Seek immediate repairs.
Open Door Warning Light
This light indicates at least one open door. Driving with an open door is unsafe.
Coolant Level Warning
Engine coolant fights extreme heat. This light lets you know that your coolant level is too low to win that fight. Driving without fixing this problem will cause serious engine damage.
