Nissan Juke Engine Dashboard Warning Lights

With increasingly complicated engines, electrical and mechanical systems on cars, dashboard warning lights are increasingly used to inform the driver of potential issues.



Almost all modern cars use built-in computers and sensors to monitor the vehicle throughout. The warning, or information lights are displayed on the dashboard in the form of symbols, many of which are universally used though some may vary depending on the manufacturing location of your vehicle.

As a general rules however, the colour of the light is used to relay the severity of an issue. Information lights and symbols will typically use green or blue colours, whilst amber or yellow lights are used to provide notice to a minor error or some form of maintenance that is required, such as an engine service for example.

Red lights, particularly those that flash represent a more urgent situation. Such lights may also use an audible beep to gain attention. Take notice of red / red flashing lights as continual use of the vehicle may potentially be dangerous, or may cause damage to the vehicle.

Below details the Nissan Juke dashboard warning lights and symbols with pictures, an explanation of the symbol along with the appropriate action that should be taken.

AWD Malfunction

Nissan Juke all wheel drive AWD-V active dashboard warning light

AWD Active

All Wheel Drive

On versions of the Nissan Juke that have the 4-wheel drive option, the ‘AWD’ light will illuminate along with the ignition being started and should shortly go out. If the AWD system malfunctions, the revolution or radius of the front and the rear wheel differs, the AWD warning light will either remain illuminated or flash. Whilst the vehicle is in motion and 4-wheel drive is selected, the AWD-V light will illuminate to inform system is active.

If the light comes on while the engine is running, you can drive the vehicle. In these cases, contact a Nissan dealer.





Nissan Juke low tyre pressure dashboard warning light

Low Tyre Pressure

Low Tyre Pressure Dashboard WARNING LIGHT

The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the pressure of all tyres except the spare. If the light illuminates whilst driving, it signifies either low tyre pressure with one or more of the tyres, or a malfunction with the TPMS where the light will flash for around 1 minute after ignition is switched to ON. If pressures are low, a message will also display on the information display. Tyre pressure can be found inside the door post and should ideally be inflated when cold. The warning light will only go out when the system is reset by driving at 16 mph or more.

Nissan Juke Service Engine Soon dashboard warning light

Service Engine Soon

Malfunction Indicator LIGHT (MIL)

If the malfunction indicator light (Service Engine Soon) comes on steady or flashes while the engine is running, it may indicate a potential emission control and/or Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT) malfunction. The malfunction indicator light may also illuminate continuously if the fuel cap is loose or missing, or if the vehicle runs out of fuel. Check to make sure the fuel cap is closed properly, and that the vehicle has at least 11.4 litres of fuel in the tank. If the symbol remains on for 20 seconds and then flashes 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.

    Hi Robert,
    In relation to the letter B on the Nissan Juke, there are 2 buttons down to the right of the driver; one for ‘A’ and one for ‘B’. They are both trip mileage recorders and you may have accidentally pressed one of them. If you press the trip button, ‘A’ will change to ‘B’ and so on. If you press it again, the total mileage will be displayed without ‘A’ or ‘B’ being displayed.

    Hi Kerry,
    It sounds like it might be a battery issue which appears to be quite common with the Nissan Juke. I would have the battery tested and go from there.

    It could be that your key needs to be reprogrammed and the immobiliser system is preventing engine start. You’ll have to arrange this with Nissan and take all your keys with you.

    Hi,

    I have a spanner and 0 on my dashboard and I’m not sure what this means? Is it okay to drive the car? I have a long journey coming up of 3 hours tomorrow and I wondered if it could be okay to drive?!

    The car was serviced back in Feb/March time!

    Hi Abby,
    The spanner symbol is telling you that a service is due and the ‘0’ is how many days remaining until it’s required. You’ll be fine on your trip as you’ve had it serviced, so it looks like the service department forgot to reset the service reminder or you’ve done a significant amount of miles in a few months.

    My VDC warning light is orange, what does that mean?

    ReplyCancel
  21. Driving Test Tips
    at

    If the light is constantly on (not flashing) this means that VDC has malfunctioned and is no longer in operation. There’s many reasons for this; wheel speed sensors, suspension parts or other parts associated with the wheels such as bearings, brakes, pads, rotors and calipers being deteriorated can cause an issue. Also if certain parts have recently been fitted that are not recommended by Nissan, it may trigger the VDC fault. If you haven’t had anything changed or fitted recently, it’s likely that a part has a fault. Vehicle stability may be reduced, so it would be ideal to have a workshop do a diagnostics error code check to see if you can locate the problem.

    Hi Mary,
    The flashing red car warning light is an indicator to inform you and potential thieves that the security system / immobiliser is armed.

    Hi Sammy,
    It could be an issue with the fuel sender unit / fuel level sensor inside the tank. Try filling the tank right up if possible as it may jog it back into action. Failing that, you’ll need diagnostics and replace parts.

    What does the letter H mean in the dashboard warning

    ReplyCancel
  28. Driving Test Tips
    at

    The Nissan Juke H on the dashboard I think what you are referring to is in relation to torque vectoring for the AWD (All-wheel drive) model.
    It’s two bars with an ‘H’ that displays the amount of torque (or force) that is applied to each wheel. In this mode, the indicator is displayed as a bar graph divided into 3 segments. The top graph shows the amount of torque to the front left and right wheels and the bottom graph shows the amount of torque to the rear left and right wheels. The number of segments shows the amount of torque currently distributed to each wheel.

    Hi Jerri,
    It’s not an issue or a fault, it’s just a particular mode or setting that it’s showing you. Go through your settings and look for torque vectoring to switch it off, but it’s nothing to worry about.

    VDC warning light issues can be related to ABS wheel speed sensors, yaw-rate sensors, steering angle sensors all of which are used to establish vehicle stability. Non-standard tyres or tyres that have significant uneven wear can trigger the warning light. Tyres that have incorrect / uneven pressures may also trigger a fault.

    Really difficult to say with such limited details. If you know where the light is on the dash, I would search for images showing dashboard warning lights on the Nissan Juke. Just make sure it’s the same dash as yours and hopefully you’ll spot it. Alternatively, you can look up owners manual for your model / year Juke.

    I’ve tried this and narrowed it down to either the car with a key in it or the oil light, I also put oil in the other day and it did stop blinking for like a week but had started again today. Like I said though it’s only every so often and one blink a time, so really hard to distinguish which

    If you’re absolutely sure the oil level is correct, it could be the oil level sensor is intermittently failing. That in itself is nothing to worry about. If it was low oil pressure or low oil level, it would likely stay on. check the oil regularly in case you’re losing any.

    Hi Angel,
    When the engine warning light comes on, a fault code is stored in the ECU. The fault code helps to identify the problem. There’s many possible faults when the engine light comes on, so the only way forward is to have the fault code read. All vehicle workshops have diagnostic fault code readers, so I’d recommend taking it in.
