2011 Nissan Armada Check Engine Light Codes

The 2011 Nissan Armada typically stores common OBD-II codes such as P0300 (random/multiple misfires), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171 (system too lean), P0455 (evaporative emission control system large leak), and various O2 sensor codes. Left unaddressed, misfires can damage pistons and the catalytic converter, leading to repairs that range from a few hundred dollars for sensors and ignition components to thousands for a failed catalytic converter.

Promptly fixing a lean condition or bad oxygen sensor preserves fuel economy and prevents more expensive downstream failures.
