On the 2010-2019 Nissan Juke 1.5L dCi K9K turbodiesel (110 PS), an ESP or VDC warning light on the Juke sends many owners chasing wheel-speed sensors, the steering angle sensor or the ABS module. Haynes reports that owners have traced the light, with C1130 or C1132 stored, to the small pressure pipe running from the exhaust manifold to the pressure sensor becoming clogged with soot, and that cleaning the pipe usually sorts it without replacement. These are engine-signal codes logged by the stability control module, so related engine fault codes should be diagnosed first; a clogged pipe is a reported cause once those are ruled out, not an automatic conclusion. Because the codes sit in the VDC module rather than the ECM, a generic reader that only looks at powertrain codes may report no faults.

This issue also affects: Nissan Armada

Common Symptoms

  • ESP / VDC / traction control warning light permanently lit
  • Stability and traction control inoperative
  • No powertrain fault codes on a basic OBD-II reader
  • Slip indicator flashing without loss of traction

How to Fix

Have a technician scan both the engine and ABS/VDC modules and follow the service procedure for the exact engine and codes. C1130 indicates an unrecognized engine-control signal; Nissan's diagnostic guidance requires related engine P-codes to be diagnosed and repaired first. It does not by itself identify a blocked exhaust-pressure pipe. On a diesel equipped with that pipe, inspect the pressure-sensing circuit only when the engine diagnosis indicates it, then confirm sensor response and clear/recheck the relevant faults. Do not replace ABS components or clean a pipe solely from the stability-warning lamp.

On the 2015-2018 Nissan Juke, an official European safety notice includes certain right-hand-drive Nissan Juke F15 vehicles whose rear child locks may fail to prevent a door being opened from inside. The notice gives a shared September 28, 2015–March 14, 2018 production range across several Nissan models; the UK recall listing for the Juke gives September 28, 2015–March 3, 2018 build dates. A model year or trim alone does not establish recall eligibility. Ask Nissan to check the VIN and market-specific campaign.

Common Symptoms

  • Rear door opens from the inside despite the child lock being set
  • Child lock does not stay in the engaged position

How to Fix

Contact a Nissan dealer to confirm VIN eligibility and the required recall remedy. If a rear door opens from inside despite the child lock being engaged, do not use that seating position for a child who depends on the lock, and seek dealer assistance. A successful one-time test does not establish that the recall has been completed.
