service engine soon light is on solid.
mileage is only 54000.
still within my last oil change
I filled up tank, made one stop and the light came on
I read the book, I checked my fuel cap, its on, maybe it has a leak or bad seal
are there any other ideas what the light means?
or take it to dealer and let them figure it out
would it be safe to unplug battery? but the light came on for a reason, correct?
thanks

Re: service engine soon light is on
First, there's nothing about disconnecting the negative battery cable that will harm anything. Yeah, you'll lose your radio pre-sets and the clock will be screwed, but that's about it.mtbpath wrote:service engine soon light is on solid.

Second, just because the fuel filler cap is on tight doesn't mean that it's sealed properly. Remove it, then re-install it and turn past 3-4 clicks. I've read that it takes more than a few miles for the CE light to reset after doing that, if that is, in fact, the issue with yours. Personally, I've never experienced the problem.

I just had mine pop on last week as well. I pulled the codes and it was something to the effect of the gas cap. I reset the code and it's never come back. I recommend anyone buy a Scanguage so they can read their own codes, diagnose problems, and also get a lot of real-time data from the vehicle. Best $150 you can spend.
dropping off car Monday morning.
it could be the fuel sensor reader. why you ask?
went to top off my half tank.
after I filled up and drove away, the fuel needle dropped to empty and empty light came on.
of course I know its an error due to the fact I filled up.
and this is possibly why the service light is on.
drove about 40 miles to my destination and when i got back into car and left, the needle was at full and empty light off.
won't know the truth until the dealer do their service.
I will post results later in the week.

Im in the exact same boat. Within the last week, after I filled up, the fuel guage showed I was empty...then today my Service Light came on.
Im going to call Nissan in the morning. Mine is a 2006 and it seems there may be a recall with the floater in the fuel tank that tells the fuel level.
Hopefully Nissan will take care of it for me, but who knows...

Fuel sender sensor failed
the check engine light was a fuel sender sensor unit.
basically affecting the fuel gauge. it will give you a false reading.
it was replaced for free under Nissan. they issued an extended warranty for this unit.
can't remember exactly, but they extended I believe 1 more year and another 15000 miles, something like that.
so, hopefully you don't get this problem and if you do, hope it falls within the extended warranty period.

Mine is the Fuel Relay Sensor. You're fortunate to have it under warranty. I called 3k miles after the warranty expired. I just bought the vehicle and the first fill up the light came on. Found out it was that. Called and they "studied my case" and found that I'm past the extended warranty and blah blah blah. Tell ya what. I didn't want to buy a Toyota because of the price. But I may consider it from the customer stand point of the MFG.
The guy at the dealership though is top notch. He thought it was pretty crappy that they weren't going to cover it and agrees that they should cover it with it being so close to the milage. He actually cut me a break on the cost of the service (from $70 to 40).

My service light is on and has been for 11 months. I took it in 3 times to have the code read and they said it is a gas cap. They reset it I changed the Gas cap and the message is still there.
