Question
Hi
After starting the vehicle all the lights on the dashboard stays ON except the ECM.
I have checked the brakes,oil levels,fuel levels etc.
The car is running ok what could be the problem?
Look forward to your reply.
Thanks in advance.

Answer
Bob,

The check engine light (ECM) should come on when the key is turned and then off after the vehicle starts.  If the other warning lights are not going off you need to check to make sure the key returns to the run position.  Second, if the key is fine then have the alternator inspected to make sure it is putting out proper voltage.  Nissan has a strange way of indicating the the alternator is going out and usually the brake and alternator light stay on.  If you need more information please feel free to email me back.
