Check Engine Light Flashing

The check engine light flashing in your 2013 Nissan NV200 is a sign of an active misfire or a condition that can cause immediate engine damage. When a light flashes, it often indicates that unburned fuel is entering the exhaust system — a situation that can overheat and damage the catalytic converter and other emissions components. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our priority is to diagnose and act quickly: our Nissan-certified technicians use OEM diagnostic tools to read codes, test fuel and ignition systems, and evaluate whether the issue relates to spark, fuel delivery, or the charging/battery system. We bundle diagnosis with a clear estimate and recommend only necessary repairs, helping you avoid unnecessary costs while protecting engine life. If replacement parts are required, we install Nissan OEM components and honor factory warranties; any warranty-covered work must be performed by a certified dealership to maintain coverage. For immediate concerns, please schedule service online or call our Mesa service team. Check our service specials for current offers and loyalty program benefits that reduce out-of-pocket expenses.

2013 Nissan NV200 Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2013 Nissan NV200 is simple technically, but resetting without addressing the underlying fault can mask problems and lead to bigger repairs. Our technicians at Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa always start with a comprehensive code read and system test before any reset. We explain each code, show inspection results, and recommend OEM repairs or maintenance that restore proper operation — transparency that builds trust and protects resale value. We also emphasize genuine parts and certified labor so that resets coincide with permanent fixes; this approach keeps warranties intact and reduces repeat visits. If you prefer to plan repairs, ask about our service financing options to spread payments responsibly. When work is complete we clear codes, verify the problem is resolved through road testing, and document the repair for your records.

2013 Nissan NV200 Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2013 Nissan NV200 include P0455 (EVAP large leak), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0135/P0136 (oxygen sensor heater/circuit), and misfire codes like P0300. Left untreated, each can lead to escalating costs: an EVAP leak may start as an inexpensive repair but can degrade fuel economy; oxygen sensor failures accelerate catalytic converter wear and may lead to a 10x increase in repair cost if the converter requires replacement. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, we focus on accurate diagnosis and customer-centered service—identifying whether codes are caused by sensor failures, wiring faults, or secondary effects like a weak battery or charging issue. Our team uses OEM parts and factory procedures to repair the root cause, which lowers long-term ownership costs and preserves factory warranties. We make it simple to protect your investment: schedule service online, review current service specials, and ask about service financing to get the work done now and pay over time.
