How to decipher error codes for all Nissan models?

Qashqai 1st and 2nd generations are equipped with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive (4WD). The complexity of a modern car means that the car owner cannot keep track of the correct operation of all components and devices. To help him, a self-diagnosis system has been created. For example, if a problem with the SRS system is detected, a corresponding code appears. This is why it is so important to know what Nissan Qashqai error codes indicate. The fault can be read through the OBD I diagnostic connector located under the steering column. It is also displayed by flashing the Check. In order for the car to perform self-diagnosis, it is necessary to carry out the following manipulations:

  • turn on the ignition;
  • wait 3 seconds;
  • press the gas 5 times, each for 5 seconds, and release the pedal;
  • wait 7 seconds and turn the gas to the floor for 10 seconds.


If everything is done correctly, the check icon begins to flash; as soon as this starts to happen, the gas pedal can be released. This is how the procedure has looked since 2016.

Nissan Qashqai errors on the dashboard

The fault code consists of five values ​​- a letter and 4 numbers. The letter indicates the type of defective system. For example, P - about a malfunction of the transmission or variator, or a breakdown of the catalyst. The second is about the specifics of the error. Third - about the type of breakdown. And the fourth and fifth are the serial number of the malfunction. You can read the code using a special scanner.

Every time you start the car, it undergoes self-diagnosis, as evidenced by the exclamation mark in a yellow triangle burning on the dashboard.

Car diagnostics

Of course, without checking the vehicle, reading codes and decoding them is in principle impossible. Therefore, today you will learn how to diagnose your Nissan on your own and how to correctly decipher code combinations in order to correct them in the future.

Nissan Qashqai car

Before you start checking your car, you need to know where the corresponding connector is located in your Nissan. To do this, you will need to refer to your Nissan owner's manual. In most cars, the diagnostic connector is located on the left side of the dashboard under the steering wheel. It may be hidden by a plastic cover, so to get to it, remove the cover with a screwdriver.

  1. To begin, turn on the ignition and pay attention to the dashboard. If you are sure that there are malfunctions in the system, and the Check Engine light does not light up, then you need to check the functionality of the light diode.
  2. Open the diagnostic connector and connect the IGN and SNK clamps with a jumper.
  3. Wait two seconds and remove the jumper. So the system went into diagnostic mode.
  4. Now you need to start the engine. The Check Engine and ECU lights will flash on the instrument panel. The breakdown combination itself in this diagnostic mode will be presented in two-digit form and is determined by the blinking of the lights. First you will see the LED flash for 0.6 seconds: this means tens. Next, the lamp will blink for 0.2 seconds. Eg? code 24 will be represented by a double flash of 0.6 seconds duration and four single flashes of 0.3 seconds duration.
  5. Then repeat the procedure of closing the jumpers on the diagnostic connector again. Wait a few seconds and remove the jumper. This way you can read the next fault combination.

Diagnostic adapter for checking Nissan

Please note: when diagnosing yourself, you may have an incomplete picture of breakdowns. A more accurate check of a vehicle for breakdowns can be done using specialized equipment. In this case, you will need a computer or laptop, a special adapter that will need to be plugged into the diagnostic connector, and software. This procedure can be carried out at a service station: of course, you will have to pay for this service, but you will know exactly what the problem is.

Removing Qashqai errors

If the system fault is resolved, it becomes necessary to reset the fault. To do this, you need:

  1. As soon as a code indicating an error appears, hold down the gas pedal for 10 seconds and wait for four zeros on the odometer.
  2. Turn off the ignition.

To reset the code in the control unit's memory, you need to disconnect the battery for 10 seconds.

If the airbag error appears, you need to:

  1. Insert the ignition key.
  2. Press the brake and hold it in this position until the end of the procedure.
  3. Turn the key.
  4. Wait until the icon goes out.
  5. Turn off the ignition immediately.
  6. Wait 3 seconds.
  7. Repeat steps 3 to 6 three times.

anyway, the service does not reset the km to zero, but there are still up to 500 left

In short, it seems to have been reset, but I don’t know how it will show

So not a single button is pressed, you will have to reset it with the key

what key? where are you going? let the procedure complete. You don't need any buttons other than those for going back.

look, I pressed reset, the card wrote something in English, should I wait until this inscription disappears?

I can't know what's on your monitor. If the reset procedure is completed, return the monitor to its original state and drive as I wrote.

So I turn it off and then you look at the monitor and it still increases

This doesn’t happen, you’re just doing something wrong, as in the previous case. There is one topic for a service reminder and two more reminders: turn the ON function to OFF and nothing should appear. www.drive2.ru/l/126371/#post There has never been a person who couldn’t do it...

Although I don’t have anything, I go into the service section itself, it’s on for 500 km and I can’t reset it

Turn off the service reminder completely.

I can’t reset the service, but not the icon itself, but where do you add when what needs to be done and what kilometers

Can I ask another question?

understood well then

and the engine needs to be heated to 90

Another question: the reset is done when the engine is warm

It is better to do the reset while the car is fully warmed up on the highway and then drive a couple of tens of kilometers in the most economical mode in 5th gear and monitor the economizer. Then drive as usual. In the city, if you do this, you will only increase the indicators. This is all in the comments to the post at the link.

so I entered and then how to set the language

just click on the setting button and in the language section select English in km. that's all.

I seem to have everything in it, but except for the last two as shown in yours

I have already explained below why you do not see these items.

Knowing step-by-step instructions on how to perform self-diagnosis of the Nissan Primera P12 may be necessary for every owner of this model, if there is no ability to contact specialists, and the car system requires checking. Of course, in a car service, such diagnostics are performed using special equipment, and there, for a certain amount, they will do what remains for our client to do quickly and perfectly. However, what if a failure occurred during the drive, and it is necessary to identify errors in the operation of different compartments more quickly in order to understand what is happening and what is threatening the upcoming operation: in a word, decide on subsequent actions so as not to harm the car and even avoid unexpected repairs.

How to do self-diagnosis of Nissan Primera P12 in order to count errors without the help of others? Our client remains realistic, it is only necessary to realize how step by step what remains to be done for our client to do. Our step-by-step annotation will help you with this process. We carry out self-diagnosis by counting the flickers of the Check-Engine indicator. Then we add up the acquired data and analyze it, in a special plate we find the interpretation of the error shown by the light bulb.

The process of implementing the verification itself is preceded by a certain procedure to start the mode.

  • Turn off the ignition like in a movie theater for 10 seconds;
  • Insert the key into the ignition again and turn it to “ON”. 3 sec.;
  • Next - 5 pressures in 5 seconds: press the gas pedal all the way to the floor;
  • We wait 7 seconds. and once again depress the appropriate pedal one hundred percent, holding it for 10 seconds. in a recessed position (the Check-Engine indicator should blink);
  • Tip:
    it’s best to count seconds with a stopwatch (for example, on a phone or a watch). Alas, you can also pronounce at a leisurely pace: 1, 3.5, 3, etc.;
  • We release the pedal completely and count the number of blinks of the Check-Engine lamp. There will be a lot of them - short and long. The main thing: do not yawn and look closely, reading possible errors.

Nissan Primera p12. Clearing the error

Note:

the absence of one or another error is accompanied by a 10-fold flicker in a row. And one more thing: defect codes are 4-digit and consist of short and long flickers.

If you want to reset the error code, press the accelerator pedal for 10 seconds. To exit the self-diagnosis mode, turn the ignition key to the “OFF” position. Or - another option - we start the engine, the Check-Engine indicator goes out.

When working in self-diagnosis mode, as mentioned above, flashes of the corresponding indicator light indicate 4-digit code characteristics. In the first number, the duration of the barrel winks is longer than the next ones. And the numbers themselves are separated by intervals of 1 second, and the codes are separated by approximately 5 seconds. If there are several errors, then they are encoded in a string. “Zero” (no fault) is indicated by 10 flashes.

It is better to have a table of error codes nearby in your apartment (usually it is published in the instruction manual - it is better if in Russian). The error number consists of a Latin letter and 4 digits. What do they mean?

  • Letter P – malfunction under the hood and gearbox;
  • 1st digit – main SAE code;
  • The next reason is a number:
    if 1 or 5, then there is a problem with the supply of air or fuel (injector). If 3 – problems in the ignition system. 4th – with control of the exhaust process, 5 – speed and idle. 6 – ECU. 7, 8 – with box;
  • The last two numbers on the right indicate a specific error code.
  • Problems with the air flow meter: as it is also called in the circuit, or not regulated, otherwise low/high indicator - P0100 - P104;
  • The air pressure sensor has come out, in other words, it is burning out. P0105. High/low signal level. P0107
    ,
    P0108
    .

Secrets of resetting the airbag error Nissan primera p12

And further, according to the list (and it consists of a huge number of positions - it is quite long, so it makes no sense to list it completely below). A complete table to decipher possible errors, as already recommended, should be kept nearby, just in case, in the glove compartment, for example. It is quite possible that you might need it on a long journey? Also, not necessarily between populated areas, but in small towns it is possible to find the appropriate equipment.

Therefore, knowing how to do self-diagnosis of the Nissan Primera P12 is not as worthless as some, especially novice drivers, think. They say, I won’t continue delving into the insides of the car, but at 100 they will do the diagnostics much more thoroughly and professionally. However, thinking like this is a gross mistake, since self-diagnosis of the engine, carried out on time (if you find the wrong sound or leak, for example, on the road), can give a hint to the sequence of subsequent actions and save you from more severe problems of the accounting system, leading, respectively , to more severe costs.

The most common error codes starting with the letter P

The appearance of such a breakdown indicates difficulties in the operation of the transmission or engine. For example, P0015 indicates that the camshaft is in the wrong position, and P0171 indicates that the fuel mixture in the engine cylinders is too lean.

Qashqai Error P0420

Talks about problems with the catalyst, especially in the operation of the oxygen sensor. A common cause of the error is also oxidation of contacts or breakdown of the controller.

Qashqai: fault P0826

Indicates problems with manual gear shifting. To find out the cause, the service station diagnoses the transmission.

Qashqai: error P0300

Indicates a misfire, which is usually caused by a breakdown of the valve timing control solenoid on the intake shaft. In most cases, checking the angle of rotation of the solenoid and correcting it to normal will be enough.

Trouble code P0725

In Qashqai, it indicates problems with the operation of the variator or crankshaft/camshaft sensors. To accurately determine the cause, it is necessary to diagnose the gearbox.

P1564 - error

Evidence of problems with cruise control. To find out the reasons, detailed diagnostics of the sensors is necessary. Sometimes the error appears due to poor contact on the switch, so checking the steering wheel will not hurt.

Code P1111

This indicates an intermittent voltage supply from the Qashqai intake air temperature sensor. The reason may lie in the controller and connected contacts. To find out the exact results, use a multimeter. Damaged wires are replaced.

Error P1122

Occurs when the throttle sensor signal decreases. This is due to poor contacts, moisture ingress, or sticking of the damper. In the latter case, the malfunction is eliminated by updating the lubricant.

Nissan Qashqai fault code - P0132

Occurs if the voltage in the oxygen controller circuit is too high. They diagnose the device and check the operation of the relay to determine further steps to troubleshoot the problem.

Error P0011

Indicates an incorrect camshaft position. This is usually caused by wear on the pulley gears, and sometimes by the sensor itself. You can find out exactly by visual inspection.

P1777 fault

Indicates that the winding circuit of the automatic transmission electric motor has broken and requires replacement.

Error code P1715

Occurs if the Nissan input shaft speed controller fails. You need to check the contacts on your device.

Code P0715

It speaks of problems with the speed controller on the turbine or its electrical circuit.

P17f0

The error indicates problems with the operation or even complete failure of the inductive signal coupling of the torque converter.

Code P1614

Occurs when there is a problem with the immobilizer. It is necessary to check the wires for oxidation, reliability of contacts and good operation of the motor blocker antenna.

P1706

The meaning of the error depends on the type of transmission - manual or automatic. If we are talking about a manual transmission, then its appearance indicates a malfunction of the start permission sensor-switch. Usually due to broken wiring. But in an automatic transmission this indicates a breakdown of the neutral sensor.

Error P0744

Indicates a malfunction of the clutch circuit. Usually the problem is caused by a breakdown of the automatic transmission torque converter.

PS Error

Evidence of problems with electric power steering.

P1147

Appears when the voltage supplying the oxygen controller increases.

P0138

Appears on the screen when the voltage supplying the oxygen sensor increases.

Code P1777

Indicates the occurrence of an open circuit in the automatic transmission motor winding.

Malfunction P0301

It indicates the occurrence of misfires in the first cylinder of the Qashqai engine.

P0014

Indicates reduced valve timing efficiency or a broken camshaft sensor. It is necessary to carry out detailed diagnostics of the regulator.

Qashqai engine error: P0134

Indicates the inability of the engine control unit to detect the oxygen sensor circuit. Often associated with damaged wiring or loose contact.

P2138

He talks about a broken touch controller located on the electronic gas pedal. The device requires replacement.

Error 0340

Occurs when the electrical circuit of the camshaft position sensor is faulty. This is usually caused by broken wires, for example due to oxidation or fracture, or insulation failure. A multimeter is used to diagnose an electrical circuit. In some cases, the regulator may need to be replaced.

Nissan Qashqai: check engine light comes on - how to clear the error

If you have diagnostic equipment, determine the reason for the appearance of the icon. Depending on the specified code, the action plan will develop. If you erase the error without taking specific steps to eliminate the causes, the check icon will reappear.

How to check?

One of the main reasons to diagnose a Nissan car is the illuminated Check Engine icon on the instrument cluster. To read error codes, either a special scanner is used, connected to a connector in the vehicle’s on-board network, or a special self-diagnosis system. Deciphering Nissan error codes will allow you to identify the failed unit and carry out repairs.

On some Nissans, for example, the Sunny model, owners are unable to enter self-diagnosis mode. To read errors on them, an ELM scanner is used, which is inserted into the diagnostic connector. Error data is transmitted to a regular laptop or smartphone.

Auto Selection 24 RF shows in this video the diagnostics of a Nissan Murano.

Reading errors in self-diagnosis mode

Launching the diagnostic mode on the Nissan Primera P12 is done as follows:

For example, error code 1514 (open in the engine idle speed control signal circuit) will be displayed as:

Error codes are read in the same way on the following Nissan models:

The video (author Nikolai Nikolaevich) shows the procedure for reading errors on a 2007 Nissan Tiida.

On the earlier Nissan Primera P11, the procedure for reading errors is different:

It should be remembered that engine errors on P11 are not read this way. Another procedure is used for this:

On a right-hand drive Nissan Winroad, equipped with a mechanically driven gas pedal, errors are also displayed by closing the pins in the diagnostic contact. The connector has a slightly different appearance.

Close pins 1 and 8

The video from Alexey Nikitin demonstrates self-diagnosis on a 1999 Vinroad with a 1.8 liter gasoline engine.

Common error codes starting with the letter C

This indicates that problems have arisen with the chassis or chassis as a whole.

C1130

There are several problems from which the following error may appear on the Qashqai screen:

  • failure of the engine control module;
  • malfunction of the ABS drive or ABS computer;
  • lack of signal to the CAN bus;
  • fuse failure.

C1143 - malfunction

Evidence of a breakdown of the wheel speed controller. The reason may be a poor sensor connection.

S1111

Lights up if there is increased voltage to the exhaust air temperature sensor.

S1210

Appears if the ABS exhaust valve is broken and requires replacement.

Qashqai J11 chassis error: settings

If the car refuses to drive at a speed after 30 km/h, then most likely there are problems with the engine. This is a designation for various breakdowns associated with the power plant of a car with a CVT since 2014. Additional diagnostics are required.

Scanners

A modern car contains many sensors to operate, which collect information and transmit it to the ECU. The on-board computer collects and processes this information and issues a command to control the actuator. Scanners have the ability to connect to the computer through a special connector and, using a program, read, process and display the information collected by the sensors.

It is possible to purchase a software and portable scanner. To work with the software, you need a computer, tablet or smartphone with the appropriate program and a cable with an ODB2 connector for connection. Nothing is required for a portable one. The program, a small screen for displaying information on it and a connector for connection are supplied in the kit.

The main functions of the scanner are:

A scanner can hardly be called a measuring device - it is a device for recording and issuing information received from the control unit.

If one of the sensors fails and produces incorrect information, then the information displayed on the scanner will be incorrect.

Group B faults

This letter in the code indicates that the car owner has encountered a malfunction in the operation of Airbag airbags, power windows, door locks and other body components.

B1049 - error

The airbags are faulty. First of all, check the contact of the system sensors.

B1054 - Qashqai code

It indicates damage to the cable located under the upholstery on the steering column - check it with a multimeter. The airbag icon often lights up along with the error number.

Reset Qashqai airbag error

This is especially often required for modifications of 2007-2008 with a 2 liter engine. If such an error appears, to remove it you need to:

  • insert the ignition key;
  • press the brake and hold it in this position until the end of the procedure;
  • turn the key;
  • wait until the icon goes out;
  • immediately turn off the ignition;
  • wait 3 seconds;
  • repeat steps 3 to 6 three times.

To prevent the situation from recurring, it is worth checking the connector under the passenger seat. Perhaps there is a loose contact there.

Gas analyzers

They analyze exhaust gases and, based on their condition, help auto mechanics:

These devices are used not only for diagnosing injection engines. They easily cope with carburetor ones.

All devices can be either universal or specialized. When purchasing, you need to focus on your needs. If you buy only for yourself, then a scanner that is oriented specifically to your car or a universal one, but designed for diagnosing the most common cars, will suffice.

For a service station, you should not save on measuring instruments and will have to purchase the entire set to cover the need for diagnosing the entire range of cars.

Group U

This letter indicates that the failure indicates improper operation of electronic modules or digital data buses.

Error U1000

The user guide states that it indicates invalid or missing data for the primary identifier. Simultaneously with the error being displayed, the Checker and ESP lights light up.

The main causes:

  • damage or short circuit of the CAN bus controller circuit;
  • problems with the engine control microprocessor;
  • problems with the CAN bus connection to ground.
