2024 Nissan Pathfinder Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2024 Nissan Pathfinder can be done with an OBD-II tool, but resetting without resolving the underlying fault only masks the problem and risks long-term damage. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa, we recommend a complete diagnostic and repair plan before any reset. Our process includes reading Nissan-specific codes, performing live-data checks, and using OEM-calibrated procedures to clear codes once the defect is repaired. This ensures the vehicle runs correctly and maintains warranty and diagnostic integrity. We provide clear documentation of the issue, the repair performed, and any parts used; this transparent approach saves money over time by preventing repeat visits. To protect your investment, schedule an appointment via schedule service, and check applicable service specials to reduce out-of-pocket costs.

Common check engine codes for the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder include P0171/P0174 (lean condition), P0300–P0304 (misfire), P0420 (catalyst efficiency), and P0135 (oxygen sensor). Left unaddressed, each can lead to higher fuel consumption, failed emissions tests, poor driveability, and costly component failures. For example, a persistent P0420 can mean a failing catalytic converter—repair costs can rise dramatically if the converter is damaged by untreated misfires. At Larry H. Miller Nissan Mesa in Mesa, AZ, we diagnose codes quickly with OEM tools and outline repair options and costs so customers understand immediate versus long-term savings.
