Bulletins and campaigns Nissan filed with NHTSA whose summary names U1000. Quote the document number at the service desk — it is a diagnosis the maker has already written down.

What U1000 means

Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-II

U1000 is a manufacturer-specific code: the second character is a 1, which under the OBD-II standard hands the definition to whoever built the vehicle. The same code can mean one thing on a Ford and something unrelated on a Hyundai. Any site that prints a single definition for it is guessing.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Nissan and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA files and the OBD-II standard

Is U1000 a known problem on Nissan vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 11 manufacturer filings and 2 owner reports naming U1000 on 10 Nissan model years (2016–2018). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

Which Nissan models does U1000 appear on most?

2016 NV200 (2 documents), 2016 Rogue (2 documents), 2016 Versa (2 documents).

Does U1000 on a Nissan mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
