2023 Nissan Sentra Check Engine Light Codes

At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, we see a range of common codes on the 2023 Nissan Sentra that affect emissions, fuel delivery, and ignition systems. Typical codes include misfire (P0300–P0304), oxygen sensor faults (P0130–P0167), and evaporative emissions leaks (P0440–P0457). Ignoring a misfire can damage the catalytic converter — a repair that can run into the thousands — while an oxygen sensor left unchecked reduces fuel efficiency and increases emissions, costing you at the pump over time. Evap system leaks are often inexpensive to fix when caught early, but left too long they lead to failed emissions tests and more extensive repairs. Our certified Nissan technicians provide precise code interpretation, clear estimates, and OEM parts to restore reliability. Choosing Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa often saves you money compared with independent shops because our diagnostics reduce unnecessary parts replacement and we deliver long-term value through warranty-backed repairs. To arrange diagnostics, schedule service and review current service specials before you visit.

2023 Nissan Sentra Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2023 Nissan Sentra is straightforward technically, but only a true repair clears the underlying issue. A simple reset without addressing the cause can lead to recurring faults and missed warnings. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, our approach is to diagnose the root cause with OEM scanners, perform the necessary repair using genuine Nissan parts, and then reset the system so the light stays off for good. This process protects your vehicle, preserves warranties, and avoids repeated visits. We provide transparent pricing and explain how the immediate investment produces long-term savings in fuel economy, reliability, and resale value. If a warranty covers the repair, it must be performed at a certified dealership to remain valid — a benefit we emphasize. You can schedule appointment online and check available service specials to maximize savings.
