new 2018 nissan frontier for sale in snohomish washingtonHi Robert,

I was out in my 2018 Nissan Frontier recently when the 'check engine' light came on. I don’t know how serious this is so haven’t driven it since: what should I do?

Thanks,
Emma

Hi, Emma!

Don't be alarmed if the 'check engine' light has come on in your 2018 Nissan Frontier.

This light doesn’t mean you need to pull over whilst driving or call a mechanic straight away. You should, however, do your best to bring the vehicle to a garage at your earliest convenience.

Since the 1980s, computers have been monitoring and, in many ways, controlling vehicles. If a problem is detected with any of your car's systems, the 'check engine' light will turn on.

This light could be triggered by anything from a loose gas tank cap to a faulty oxygen sensor. A mechanic can quickly determine what’s causing the problem through the use of an electronic scan tool. My advice is to call down to our Service Department at your earliest convenience and let the Technicians have a look

Thanks for the question, Emma. Please don’t hesitate to contact Kirkland Nissan, Washington again if you ever need anything else.
