2025 Nissan Altima Check Engine Light Reset

Resetting the check engine light on a 2025 Nissan Altima can be done with a scanner, but a reset without repair only clears the symptom and may hide an active problem. Larry H.

2025 Nissan Altima Check Engine Light Codes

Common check engine light codes for the 2025 Nissan Altima include P0171 (system too lean), P0300 (random/multiple cylinder misfire), P0420 (catalyst efficiency low), and EVAP codes like P0446/P0455 for vapor leaks.

At Larry H.
