About a month ago, check engine light came on. Had it read: P2423 Code. My bro in law asked if I had put in different gasoline than what I regularly use and I had. He suggested I let it go to empty and put in premium of the gas that I regularly use and see if the light turns off. After 2 hours on the premium gas, it turned off and hasn't turned back on (2 weeks now). Do you think I have anything to be concerned about? Should I have it rescanned to see if the code comes back up? Mechanic's Assistant: Does the light stay on, or does it blink? It's off now Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2010 Nissan Rogue SL Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Rogue yourself? What have you tried so far? My bro in law asked if I had put in different gasoline than what I regularly use and I had. He suggested I let it go to empty and put in premium of the gas that I regularly use and see if the light turns off. After 2 hours on the premium gas, it turned off and hasn't turned back on (2 weeks now).

Hi! Sandra Hope I can help sorry to hear about your code the P2423 is for the catalytic converter HC loaded in the exhaust catalytic converter , you might just need to run the car for a while and see if that comes back on and use some good fuel also might clean it out . You could also have a exhaust leak in the system

Just post back to me

Ok. I have been using premium gas in it for 2 weeks now and it hasn't come back on. I do have a faint smell of exhaust but can't confirm that that's not from other cars when I'm driving.

Okay just monitor the codes if comes back you might have a issue I would make sure your [spark plugs](/topics-spark-plug-nissan/) and filters are good also
