The malfunction indicator light — also known as the check engine light — on your Pickup can illuminate for a variety of reasons, including engine issues, electrical problems, damaged sensors, transmission problems, misfires, and faulty connections.

Can you clear the Pickup check engine light on your own?

It may be tempting to reset the malfunction warning light on your Pickup, but it's important to resist the urge. The check engine light is designed to warn you of potential problems with your vehicle, and resetting the light without fixing the underlying issue could lead to further damage or safety issues. The best course of action is to bring your Pickup to your local Firestone Complete Auto Care for diagnostics and repairs.

How worried should I be about a drivetrain malfunction in my Pickup?

Don't ignore a drivetrain malfunction in your Pickup. As soon as you notice a problem, have it checked by a professional mechanic to diagnose the issue and carry out any necessary repairs. Driving with a faulty drivetrain is risky and may further damage your Pickup.

Does my Pickup drivetrain include the transmission?

Yes, the transmission is an essential part of your Pickup’s drivetrain.

When you maintain the drivetrain in your 1997 Nissan Pickup, you help maintain your vehicle's power. You can help prevent repairs by checking and changing differential fluids, and lubricating bearings and gears according to Nissan's recommendations.
