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.

Choosing the dealership ensures repairs are completed to factory standards and keeps warranties valid—warranty work must be performed at certified dealerships.
