2021 Nissan NV Passenger Check Engine Light Codes

The most common codes for a 2021 Nissan NV Passenger relate to oxygen sensors (P0130–P0167), catalytic converter efficiency (P0420), and misfire codes (P0300–P0306). Ignoring a P0420 can lead to a failing catalytic converter — a repair that may cost significantly more than early intervention. Oxygen sensor faults lower fuel economy and can increase emissions; handling them early preserves fuel savings and avoids costly converter replacement. Misfires left unchecked risk piston, rod, or catalytic damage and will drive repair costs much higher. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa our certified technicians quickly read codes with OEM scanners, provide transparent estimates, and prioritize repairs that deliver immediate and long-term savings. We offer OEM parts, trained Nissan technicians, and clear warranty assistance. Use our schedule appointment tool to book diagnostics and check current service specials that can reduce out-of-pocket cost.

2021 Nissan NV Passenger Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on your 2021 Nissan NV Passenger should follow a confirmed repair — clearing codes without fixing the root cause can mask problems and lead to worse damage. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, we reset codes only after resolving the issue and completing a verification drive to ensure the fault will not recur. This guarantees transparency and reduces repeat visits. We use OEM diagnostic tools so resets, software updates, and repairs follow factory standards; that precision helps preserve warranty coverage and long-term reliability. Dealership service often costs less in the long run thanks to exact repairs, genuine parts, and fewer follow-up visits compared with trial-and-error fixes. Take advantage of our service specials and ask about service financing when you schedule service. Trust our Mesa team for clear estimates, fast turnarounds, and care that keeps your NV Passenger running strong.
