Juke Diesel Drift Compensation Error

I've got a perplexing issue with my 2016 Nissan Juke diesel. At 26491 km, it's running rough, the check engine light is on, and it's throwing a 'reset quantity drift compensation' error, probably a bad injector. Anyone seen this drift compensation issue before? Thinking about doing a reset via onboard diagnostics, but want advice first. Any thoughts on fuel injection compensation adjustment?

Summary of the thread

A 2016 Nissan Juke diesel is experiencing a 'reset quantity drift compensation' error, causing rough running and a check engine light. This issue is likely related to a faulty injector, as suggested by the error code. The recommended solution is to have the injectors checked and possibly replaced, followed by recalibration of the fuel injection system, preferably at a professional workshop.

I had a similar issue with my Juke, though not diesel. The 'drift compensation' error sounds like the ECU is struggling to fine-tune the fuel delivery, almost like a musician trying to keep an instrument in tune with a broken tuner. I would check the injectors first; however, without the proper tools, you won't be able to rule out a faulty ECU, which may require injector mapping/coding.

Thanks. Could you give me more detail about your experience? Did the onboard diagnostics pinpoint the injector, or were there other things to consider? I'm wondering if a simple compensation adjustment was enough, or if it needed more work.

The onboard diagnostics pointed to an injector issue but suggested further testing, which I could not complete without the appropriate tools. Given the symptoms and error code, it's likely an injector. However, like a doctor trying to diagnose an illness, it's best to confirm with proper testing before starting treatment. I'd recommend a workshop. It was the best thing to do in my case.

I appreciate the advice; a workshop seems best. It turned out to be a defective injector, needing replacement and fuel injection recalibration. Cost me 515€.
