SYSTEM INFORMATION
System designed to inform driver of malfunctions in computer controlled operating system. Computer monitors system for values outside of suggested levels. Technician uses code to identify problem area (s) requiring repair.

RECOMMENDATIONS
One of the most common reasons the engine light comes on, is due to a loose gas cap. Make sure the gas cap is secure then after a few days the light should turn off.

If you would like to reset the ?Engine Light? (Service Engine Soon? Light) disconnect the car battery for more than 24 for hours. Why? The back up battery in the Engine Control Modulo last up to 24 hours only

If after disconnecting the battery the light is still on you should have a technician scan for trouble codes present in computer memory. Your vehicle is equipped with on board diagnostic capabilities. Check Engine light indicates when illuminated, malfunction has occurred in operating system. Technician with scan tool can retrieve stored malfunction code (s), this identifies system area requiring repair.

Remember any technician with a scan tool can check for codes, you do not have to use a Nissan Dealer.
