I have a 2014 1.6 dCi Tekna. recently we have seen issues with virtually all the warning light coming on intermittently. These include key fault, chassis management fault, system fault, start stop fault, DAA fault, the Speedo stops working, the tyre pressures are all at zero and occasionally the parking sensors warnings bleep whilst driving. It is intermittent, we’ve done 200 miles with zero lights and there is no loss of performance. I have had the battery checked out at Halfords and they say it’s fine but could this still be the problem?
Any ideas?

Has anybody attempted to get the Error Codes (DTCs) off the car.

May not be Battery problem..possibly Power Distribution (IPDM). But guessing without an accurate steer from DTCs

Thanks for the response we have had it plugged in at a garage but we didn’t get the codes. The garage just told us they couldn’t determine what the problem was and recommended we see an engine management specialist.

I think a Nissan dealer would be advisable. The fault you report here should have shown DTCs which may mean your garage does not have adequate test equipment for this problem.

I'm having same type of issue, multiple amber lights appear but then disappear for few days to few weeks then reappear again. No issues with the vehicle but I was lucky to get the codes when amber lights were on.
Just had battery replaced last week so no issue there.
Have attached pictures. As it stands just now I have zero amber lights on the dash so can't get diagnostic done as it would show nothing.
At the time of these photos all tyre pressures were good as in the pictures. Thought it strange it was saying there low.
Any ideas on what this could be? Is it common?

front tyre pressure need to be 33psi so pump them up to correct psi, rear drivers side showing no pressure, so i think you`ll find a problem with rear drivers side abs sensor cable damaged, got my other halfs car going in garage fri morn for the same problem, we thought it was the tyre pressure sensor at 1st but when getting it up on the ramps we noticed the abs sensor had been damaged some time ago and the connectors were missing and wires just joined together ;-( so got new sensor and connector.
when you had the new battery fitted did they program the car to let it know new batt was in. (gone are the days of easy things on cars lol)

Will have a look at the wire underneath to see if any are broken. Unknown about reprogramming car after battery, would like to think they know what there doing although these faults were there before the new battery. New battery was what they thought probably the issue was.
Attached pictures of diagnostic done on car today, now have even more codes. Lights still being intermittent. Hard to believe this can all go wrong all at once.

Looks a lot of codes but it could only be 1 wrong thing that has triggred all them off. You'll need to ask the garage that fitted the new battery.
The other thing about the codes is you'll never know how long they have been on the car for untill cleared and re-checked a few days later to see what has shown backup again.

Hi

I am wondering if you managed to resolve this problem. I have the same issue on a 2016 1.2 quashqui. I also had a new battery fitted, prior to this.

Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks

all the symptoms of a damaged offside rear abs sensor wire... even the 1 non-working tpms sensor is something seen before. Search on here for Fox Damage to see pics of what to look for underneath.

Re intermittent issues, sounds like a corroded wire to me.
