2010 Nissan GT-R Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2010 Nissan GT-R include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim issues), and various turbocharger or boost-sensor codes. Each code has cost and risk implications: unresolved misfires (P0300) can ruin catalytic converters and lead to expensive replacements; P0420 left unchecked reduces efficiency and may fail emissions testing; fuel trim issues cause poor drivability and increased fuel use.
