2021 Nissan GT-R Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, our technicians commonly see a handful of diagnostic trouble codes on the 2021 Nissan GT-R that affect drivability and emissions. Typical codes relate to oxygen sensors (O2), catalytic converter efficiency, ignition misfires, and mass airflow sensor readings. Left unaddressed, an O2 sensor fault will reduce fuel economy and may overwork the catalytic converter, costing significantly more to replace; a misfire can damage pistons and catalytic components; airflow sensor issues reduce peak performance and increase wear. Our factory-trained technicians use Nissan OEM diagnostic procedures to isolate the exact cause and present clear repair options. Choosing dealer-performed diagnostics prevents unnecessary parts replacement, provides immediate and long-term savings, and protects your vehicle’s performance pedigree. To get prioritized diagnosis and genuine parts, schedule service and review current service specials to reduce costs.

Miller Nissan Mesa we prioritize flashing-light cases and offer expert diagnostics, OEM replacements, and warranty-backed repairs to protect both short-term safety and long-term value. We also communicate repair timelines, parts options, and financing choices so you can start repairs right away without stress.
