Seeking Advice on 2002 Nissan Almera's Warning Lights Issues

Hey there! I had a similar issue with my 2000 Nissan Primera, diesel engine, not too much difference, just a couple of years older. I'm no expert, but I've got some experience with car maintenance. Looks like we're in the same boat. My speedo and airbag lights were flashing too. I thought at first it was just a loose connection or something silly. It turned out to be a defective acceleration sensor. Drove me nuts until I figured it out! The warning light was basically telling me the accelerations weren't being read correctly. Lovely, right? I took it to my usual workshop, those guys are pretty good, they found the problem, had the part replaced, and voila! No more warning lights. The replacement part and labour ended up costing me around 315 Euro. Could you tell me more about your vehicle? The model, mileage, how it's been acting lately, apart from the warning lights? More info could help zero in on your issue.

Hey, thanks for the reply! Wow, a defective acceleration sensor, huh? Didn't even cross my mind. My Almera's been acting normal, just those warning lights are bothering me. She's done about 137002 KM now. Last service was done a while ago, maybe I should consider taking her into a maintenance check too. I'd be chuffed if the issue was as simple as yours! :)

Hey! Absolutely, getting a thorough once-over from the pros never hurts, especially with that mileage. Good call! Your Almera behaving normal apart from the lights, yet showing the warning, rings a bell. Sounds almost identical to my Primera's situation. Although we can't be sure it's the same issue, I'd definitely suggest having the acceleration sensor checked out. Maybe you could swing it by a local workshop and get a rough diagnosis? If it turns out to be the sensor, my resolution might come in handy: remember, cost me around 315 Euro for the part and labour. Hopefully, you bust these annoying warning lights with that. Good luck!

Thanks a ton! I'll definitely look into having that sensor checked, your advice has been really insightful. I really appreciate you sharing your experience. Hopefully, it's nothing more than that. I'll take her to the local garage for a diagnosis and fingers crossed it's the similar issue and resolution. Thanks for the heads up about the potential cost too. I'll let you know how it goes. Cheers!
