What Does the “PS” Light Mean on My Nissan Dashboard?

Jan 11, 2021

Cars can be confounding at times. One day, they may be completely fine, and the next, you may notice a weird sound or strange smell. Because there are so many moving parts, it’s always possible for something to go wrong under your hood. This is especially true if you do a lot of driving or have an older vehicle.

Dashboard lights in particular can be very confusing. While some may be obvious – like the little oil can symbol – others take some deciphering. If, for example, the “PS” light illuminates on your Nissan’s dashboard, our Nissan service experts are here to help.

What Does “PS” Stand For?

When you see the “PS” light come on, something may be wrong with your power steering system. Chances are that even before you got the alert, you could tell that there was a problem when you turned the wheel.

The issue may just be related to the power steering fluid, which could be low. However, it might be something more involved. While you will still be able to operate your vehicle, if your power steering is acting up, it will make driving a little more difficult, especially if you’ve never driven without it.

That’s where our Nissan service specialists come in. When you bring your vehicle to our service center, we’ll take a look under your hood and quickly diagnose the problem. No matter how serious the issue is, we will rectify the problem so you can get back on the road with complete peace of mind.
