Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)
GUID-7AE6836F-62DC-4F8F-81D2-F95B25AF5E24If the malfunction indicator light comes on
steady or blinks while the engine is running, it
may indicate a potential emission control or the
muffler with electronic control valve (if so
equipped) malfunction.
The malfunction indicator light may also come on
steady if the fuel-filler cap is loose or missing, or
if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make
sure the fuel-filler cap is installed and closed
tightly, and that the vehicle has at least 3 US
gallons (12 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
After a few driving trips, the
light should
turn off if no other potential emission control
system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light remains on for 20 seconds
and then blinks for 10 seconds when the engine
is not running, it indicates that the vehicle is not
ready for an emission control system inspection/
maintenance test. (

blinking and remain on.
It is recommended you have the vehicle
inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN
dealer. You do not need to have your vehicle towed to the dealer.

Continued vehicle operation without
having the emission control system
checked and repaired as necessary
could lead to poor driveability, reduced
fuel economy, and possible damage to
the emission control system.
