2011 Nissan Cube Check Engine Light Codes

Common codes on a 2011 Nissan Cube that we see at Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), P0135 (O2 sensor heater circuit) and P0440 (evaporative emissions leak). Left unaddressed, these issues raise fuel consumption, risk long-term engine and exhaust damage, and often lead to much higher parts and labor costs — a faulty oxygen sensor can foul a catalytic converter, converting a relatively inexpensive sensor repair into a costly emissions component replacement. Our certified Nissan technicians diagnose codes precisely and explain the projected costs and benefits of prompt repair, prioritizing fixes that preserve vehicle reliability and resale value. By choosing Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa you gain OEM parts, trained techs, and transparent estimates that often provide immediate and long-term savings compared with less specialized shops. We also offer service financing and frequent service specials to make timely repairs easier — schedule service today for fast, dependable care.
