Check Engine Light Flashing

A flashing check engine light in your 2013 Nissan Armada signals an active misfire or condition that could damage the catalytic converter if driven without attention. Immediate evaluation at Larry H.

A flashing light commonly means unburned fuel is entering the exhaust stream, creating heat and risk to emission control components.

We emphasize transparent estimates, OEM parts, and the long-term savings of fixing problems correctly the first time.

2013 Nissan Armada Check Engine Light Codes

Understanding the most common check engine codes for a 2013 Nissan Armada helps owners in Mesa, AZ spot issues before they become costly. Typical stored codes include oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), catalytic efficiency codes (P0420), and misfire codes (P0300–P0308). Left unaddressed, an oxygen sensor fault can reduce fuel efficiency and damage the catalytic converter, turning a small sensor replacement into a far more expensive exhaust repair. Catalytic converter codes often originate from upstream failures; delaying repair can lead to component replacement costs many times higher than timely service. Misfires left unresolved accelerate wear on pistons, rings, and the catalytic converter. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, our certified Nissan technicians diagnose codes with factory-grade scanners, provide clear cost comparisons, and recommend OEM parts for the best long-term reliability. Choosing dealership service often saves money over time thanks to correct repairs, warranties that require certified service, and access to factory tools and training — book an inspection or schedule appointment and review available service specials.
