Malfunction Indicator Light
(MIL)

blinks while the engine is running, it may
indicate a potential emission control mal-
function.
The MIL may also come on steady 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
gallons (11.4 liters) of fuel in the fuel tank.
Af ter a few driving trips, the
light
should turn off if no other potential emis-
sion control system malfunction exists.
If this indicator light comes on steady 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. For additional information, refer to
“Readiness for Inspection/Maintenance
(I/M) test” in the “Technical and consumer
information” section of this manual.
Operation
The MIL will come on in one of two ways:
• MIL on steady — An emission control sys- tem malfunction has been detected.
Check the fuel-filler cap if the Loose Fuel
Cap warning appears in the vehicle infor-
mation display (if so equipped) or the trip
computer (if so equipped). If the fuel-filler
cap is loose or missing, tighten or install
the cap and continue to drive the vehicle.
The
light should turn off af ter a few
driving trips. If thelight does not turn

hicle inspected. It is recommended that
you visit a NISSAN dealer for this service.
You do not need to have your vehicle

sion control system. To reduce or avoid
emission control system damage:– do not drive at speeds above 45 mph (72 km/h).
