2011 Nissan GT-R Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ we frequently diagnose codes such as P0300 (random/multiple misfire), P0171 (system too lean), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0442 (EVAP small leak), and P0128 (coolant thermostat). Each code carries different risks: persistent misfires can damage pistons and the catalytic converter; lean conditions increase engine temperatures and wear; an unresolved P0420 can result in failed emissions tests and a catalytic converter replacement that may exceed $1,000. Delaying repair often multiplies cost and reduces the high-performance reliability expected from a 2011 Nissan GT-R. Our team offers transparent diagnostics, Nissan-approved repairs, and OEM parts to restore performance and protect long-term value. We explain repair options, provide itemized estimates, and highlight immediate and long-term savings — and we often deliver lower total ownership costs than independent shops by preventing repeat repairs. To get a clear diagnosis and expert care, schedule service and review current service specials.

2011 Nissan GT-R Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2011 Nissan GT-R should follow a confirmed repair, not precede one. At Larry H.

We provide upfront pricing, factory-trained technicians, and the option to use service financing so you can complete necessary repairs now and pay over time. Transparency and documented testing are central to our service: you receive clear before-and-after reports showing the repair and verification steps.

Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light on a 2011 Nissan GT-R usually signals an active misfire — a condition that can allow unburned fuel into the exhaust and overheat the catalytic converter, risking severe and costly damage.

Our certified technicians will prioritize a quick diagnosis to identify problems like failing ignition coils, spark plugs, fuel delivery issues, or sensor faults.
