What should I do if the malfunction indicator light blinks?

2013–2017

  1. A blinking light indicates an engine misfire that may damage the emission-control system.
  2. Do not drive above 45 MPH (72 km/h), and avoid hard acceleration, hard deceleration, and steep uphill grades.
  3. If possible, reduce the cargo load, and have the vehicle inspected by a GT-R certified NISSAN dealer.
  4. The light may stop blinking and remain on, and towing to the dealer is not required.
  5. Continued operation without checking and repairing the system could cause poor driveability, reduced fuel economy, and possible emission-control-system damage.
