Nissan Kicks Check Engine Light Malaysia — P15 & e-Power
Standard Kicks common codes: P0300–P0303 (misfire — check plugs), P0744 (CVT slip — urgent CVT service), P0420 (catalyst efficiency). e-Power: additional codes relate to the e-Power system — P3000–P3999 range for HV system faults, often triggered by a weak 12V auxiliary battery rather than a true HV fault. On e-Power, if the check engine light appears with e-Power warning light, do not continue driving — have the vehicle scanned immediately. A standalone check engine light without e-Power warning is usually a minor issue (O2 sensor, catalyst, throttle body).
Kicks Check Engine Light
- Scan OBD immediately when CEL lights up — do not ignore
- Flashing CEL = active misfire — stop driving, risk of catalytic converter damage
- Steady CEL with normal driving: non-urgent but repair within 1 week
- Common causes: O2 sensor, loose fuel cap (EVAP), misfires, MAF sensor
