Help with a code please (interpreting it...) I think it's P0455?
 
Could I get help on interpreting a code please :-)

I had 10 short flashes followed by 4 quick flashes
a pause
then 5 quick flashes
pause
and another 5 quick flashes

Is this code interpreted as P0455?


I wasn't expecting the second 5 quick flashes as i thought they would alternate between fast and slow....

Thanks guys :)

always start with the easiest thing to check! :)

I have the same code but the car is running fine. I took it to Autozone for a free scan and they told me the same thing about the gas cap. Even though the cap looks good, it could fail internally so the pressure won't be the same and that's enough reason for the sensors to throw an error code. I just bought a new cap but did not erase the code b/c according to the Nissan factory service manual, if the problem lies in the cap, the SES light will clear by itself after driving the car for a while with a new cap.

There's a bunch of reasons that could cause that code so don't count on the gas cap being the culprit. It's just the first and easiest thing to eliminate as a problem.
