Resetting the check engine light on a 2020 Nissan Kicks might seem simple, but a reset without resolving the root cause can lead to repeat failures and missed warranty protection. At Larry H.

Our technicians use Nissan factory diagnostic tools to read stored codes, clear false alerts, and confirm repairs with test drives and re-scans. That means you get a true fix — not just a temporary reset.

2020 Nissan Kicks Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for a 2020 Nissan Kicks include P0420 (catalytic efficiency), P0135 (oxygen sensor heater), P0300 (random/multiple misfires), and P0456 (small EVAP leak). Each code has a cost implication if left unaddressed: unresolved misfires accelerate engine wear and can damage the catalytic converter, leading to expensive replacements; persistent EVAP leaks increase emissions and reduce fuel efficiency; faulty oxygen sensors cause poor fuel trims and can ruin fuel economy over time. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, our Mesa, AZ service center explains these risks clearly and provides cost-effective repair plans using OEM parts and certified technicians. Early diagnosis often prevents larger bills later, so we emphasize the immediate and long-term savings of timely service. We also help you take advantage of available service specials and offer service financing.
