Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing on a 2012 Nissan Cube usually indicates a serious misfire or condition that could damage the catalytic converter if you continue driving. A flashing lamp is not a suggestion—it’s an urgent prompt to stop driving if safe and have the vehicle inspected immediately. At Larry H.

We evaluate symptoms, isolate the failing component, and explain repair tiers so you know both immediate and long-term implications. Choosing our dealership often reduces overall costs because we fix root causes correctly the first time and protect your Cube’s emissions system and fuel economy. We accept service financing to help with unexpected repairs and run frequent service specials to lower out-of-pocket expense. To avoid escalation and costly catalytic converter damage, schedule service right away—our service team will prioritize safety and efficiency to get you back on the road with confidence.

2012 Nissan Cube Check Engine Light Codes

Common trouble codes for a 2012 Nissan Cube include P0420 (catalyst system efficiency), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater circuit), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), and P0171/P0174 (lean condition).
