Frequently Asked Questions

What is the first thing to check when the check engine light comes on?

• Look and listen: check for smoke, unusual smells, or severe loss of power—these signs require you to stop driving immediately.
• Verify the gas cap is secure; a loose cap can trigger an EVAP code and is an easy first check.
• Note driving behavior and conditions (startup, acceleration, idling) to help technicians diagnose faster.
• Avoid resetting the light yourself; clearing codes can mask intermittent faults and affect warranty coverage.

What does it mean when the check engine light comes on in a 2026 Nissan Rogue?

• Common triggers include EVAP system leaks (loose gas cap or leak), oxygen sensor failure, catalytic converter inefficiency, and engine misfires.
• On turbocharged 1.5L engines, ignition components or fuel delivery issues can cause misfires that illuminate the light.
