A Simple Solution for DPF Issues on the Nissan Qashqai

Model: Nissan Qashqai J11 - Years 2014-2022
Part: Checks and maintenance

In this video, you will see how to easily resolve DPF issues on the Nissan Qashqai: here, the DPF management light is illuminated. To fix the problem, you will need an additive to add to the diesel to clean the DPF filter, and an OBD2 reader to connect to the EOBD diagnostic socket located under the dashboard next to the steering wheel (this is a right-hand drive vehicle, but in left-hand drive vehicles, it is mirrored in the same location). Turn on your reader to read the error codes, and you will see the one related to the DPF filter; go back and clear it. You will see that the light has turned off. Add the additive to the diesel so that the filter cleans itself of impurities.
