Nissan Vehicle Service Warning Indicators

On your Nissan's dashboard, you will find warning lights that keep you aware of maintenance needs and repair issues. For your convenience, we detail 10 warning indicators below.

Airbag Fault

Airbag Fault

You should seek immediate repairs by a professional if this dashboard light stays on after you start your car. It indicates that your vehicle discovered a fault in its airbag components. Until you have your supplemental-restraint system serviced, your airbags may not correctly deploy in a crash.

Low Fuel Level Warning Light

Low Fuel Level Warning Light

This light simply lets you know that you need to stop for gas. Please stop as soon as possible. Running out of gas is a hassle.

Oil Pressure Warning Light

Oil Pressure Warning Light

Low oil pressure is dangerous to your car's engine. Turn off the vehicle as quickly as you safely can. You might solve this issue by merely adding oil if your level is low. If the light shines despite adequate oil, you have a mechanical problem that must be repaired before you can drive again.

Service Vehicle Soon

Tire Pressure Monitoring System

TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System)

This system keeps you safe by alerting you if a tire has inadequate air pressure. As soon as possible, adjust your tires' air to the recommended pressure. The light should turn off soon after you resume your drive. If it does not, schedule an appointment for TPMS sensor service.
