Armada error messages

I'm having a weird issue with my 2008 Nissan Armada with a gasoline engine. I'm getting an error message on both the speedometer and infotainment system. My OBD-II scanner shows a fault code. I've tried clearing the codes, but they return. I've read it might be incorrect vehicle coding. Anyone experienced something similar? I'm at 223555 km and getting worried!

Sounds frustrating! I had a similar problem with my old BMW 3 series. I kept getting an engine light and some weird errors even after resetting. The problem was a control module that needed a proper reset. Is it possible that the Armada's computer just needs a full system refresh?

Interesting! When you say 'full system refresh', do you mean a dealer-level diagnostic reset or something more involved? I'm not super experienced with this, so any extra detail would be awesome.

I ended up having to take my BMW to a shop. They had to re-code the module. It was beyond my capabilities with a basic OBD-II scanner. It's probably best to get it checked out by a professional unless you're comfortable digging into the car's computer.

Thanks so much for the insight! I'll book an appointment with a trusted workshop to get this sorted. They've quoted 360€ for the recoding... fingers crossed it solves the issue!
