Check Engine Light Flashing
When a check engine light flashes on a 2016 Nissan Versa it often indicates a severe misfire or a condition that could damage the catalytic converter if driven.

Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our first priority is your safety and preserving the vehicle’s long‑term value. Our factory‑trained technicians perform immediate scans, inspect ignition components, fuel delivery, and emission systems to find the root cause. We explain the findings plainly, present repair options, and outline immediate versus preventive steps so you can make an informed decision that saves money over the life of the vehicle.

2016 Nissan Versa Check Engine Light Codes
Common check engine codes for the 2016 Nissan Versa include P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst system efficiency below threshold), P0171/P0174 (system too lean), and oxygen sensor codes like P0133 or P0135. Left unaddressed, misfires can ruin catalytic converters (costing many times more than the original repair), lean conditions accelerate engine wear, and faulty oxygen sensors reduce fuel economy and emissions performance. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, we combine Nissan‑specific diagnostic tools with OEM parts to pinpoint causes and prescribe fixes that restore efficiency and reliability. Our transparent estimates illustrate immediate costs and projected long‑term savings—repairing a failing sensor or misfire promptly typically avoids far higher replacement bills later. We also maintain warranty integrity by performing work to factory standards: any warranty‑covered repairs must be done at a certified dealership. To get accurate code reading and a clear plan, schedule service and review available service specials.
2016 Nissan Versa Check Engine Light Reset
Resetting the check engine light on a 2016 Nissan Versa is quick with an OBD‑II tool, but resetting without fixing the underlying fault only delays inevitable problems and may clear important diagnostic data.

Choosing the dealership ensures repairs are completed to factory standards and keeps warranties valid—warranty work must be performed at certified dealerships. We provide a clear repair report, show pre‑ and post‑repair data when possible, and explain how the repair improves reliability and fuel efficiency, which results in long‑term savings compared with piecemeal fixes.
