2010 Nissan Versa OBD-II Code P0555: Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Issue & Cruise Control Symptoms

Model: Nissan Versa Fault Code: P0555 Posted: 2014-09-06 15:52

The check engine light (also referred to as 'Service Engine Soon') has activated on my 2010 Nissan Versa. After taking the vehicle to an auto parts store, I was given the OBD-II diagnostic code P0555. Trouble Code: P0555 System: Vehicle Speed Control, Idle Controls, and Auxiliary Inputs Description: Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Circuit I have been unable to locate a brake booster pressure sensor in any auto parts store inventory or technical documentation. This raises concerns about whether the code is accurate or if there may be another underlying issue. Key details: - Vehicle: 2010 Nissan Versa (North American model, 1.8L MR18DE engine) - Location: United States (domestic model) - Symptoms observed: Intermittent cruise control issues — the cruise control light turns on automatically and the 'set' function flashes without user input. The system does not respond to button presses until the vehicle is turned off and restarted. - Timeline: The cruise control issue occurred twice prior to the check engine light appearing, which came on approximately two weeks after the last incident. I am seeking confirmation: 1. Is P0555 a valid code for this model year and trim? 2. Where is the brake booster pressure sensor located in the 2010 Nissan Versa? 3. Could the cruise control issues be related to the P0555 fault? 4. Should I get a second diagnostic reading from another auto parts store? (Note: Ensure the code is truly P0555 and not B0555 or another variant.) Any insights, technical references, or known fixes for this code on the 2010 Nissan Versa would be greatly appreciated.

Something seems off — is it really P0555 on a 2010 Nissan Versa? This is a North American model, right? What engine variant? 1.6L (HR16DE) or 1.8L (MR18DE)? I did not find P0555 in the official Nissan technical manual — can you confirm this code exists for your vehicle?

Yes, the code is P0555. The owner took the car to Auto Zone using their handheld OBD-II scanner, and that's exactly what they received. It's a 2010 Nissan Versa with a 1.8L engine. We're in the U.S., so it's a domestic model. I'll have her try another auto parts store — different scanners might yield a different code or clarify if it's truly P0555.

I'm not sure if this is directly related, but the owner has noticed intermittent cruise control problems. When cruise control isn't active, the cruise light turns on automatically and the 'set' function flashes. No response occurs when pressing buttons — only turning off the ignition and restarting fixes it. This issue has happened twice before the check engine light appeared. The current 'Service Engine Soon' light is new and came on about two weeks after the last cruise control incident. Clarification: The light now shown is 'Service Engine Soon,' not 'Check Engine.' I'm unsure if these are different in terminology.

Yes — 'Service Engine Soon' and 'Check Engine Light' refer to the same indicator. Old habits die hard! Since it was purchased in the U.S., this is a domestic model. Getting a second code reading from another store is advisable — pay close attention to the alpha prefix (e.g., P0555 vs B0555). I’ll have better access to Nissan service manuals tomorrow and will investigate whether P0555 is actually present in the 2010 Versa system.

Alright — I'll have her stop tomorrow and recheck the code. It might not be available until after 6:00 PM CST, so I won't be able to provide an update immediately. Thank you for taking the time to help clarify this issue.
