2017 Nissan Pathfinder Check Engine Light Codes
Understanding common check engine light codes for a 2017 Nissan Pathfinder helps you make smarter repair decisions. Typical codes include P0420 (catalytic converter efficiency), P0171/P0174 (fuel trim issues), P0300–P0306 (misfires), and P0130–P0167 (oxygen sensor faults). Left unresolved, each carries costs: a failed catalytic converter can mean several thousand dollars in replacement and downstream damage; persistent misfires can ruin catalytic converters and reduce fuel economy; oxygen sensor failures lead to poor fuel mileage and higher emissions. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, we prioritize quick, accurate diagnostics to prevent those expensive outcomes. Our factory-trained technicians use Nissan-specific scanners and OEM parts to correct root causes rather than treating symptoms. That accuracy often yields immediate savings versus repeat repairs from imprecise work, plus long-term protection of engine and emissions components. We explain each code, present transparent repair options, and confirm warranty coverage when applicable—remember warranty repairs must be performed at a certified dealership. To minimize downtime and cost, schedule service today and review available service specials to reduce your total expense.
