P155B-00

The code on a Nissan is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code that typically refers to an issue with the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) control system, specifically a calibration or "initialization" error with the VGT actuator .

Precautions:

: Some models may restrict fast charging (DC Quick Charge) if the battery heater is non-functional in freezing temperatures. CarParts.com Recommended Troubleshooting Steps Check 12V Battery

The Conflict:

Because the air inside the cylinders isn't hot enough, the diesel doesn't ignite properly. This leads to rough idling , white smoke from the exhaust, and eventually, the Check Engine Light glowing on your dash.

Nissan P155B-00

The code signals a stuck-closed coolant bypass valve. While it may seem minor, it carries the real risk of engine overheating and catastrophic damage. The good news: the repair is well-understood, parts are readily available, and a competent shop or DIYer can fix it in a few hours.

Use a bidirectional scan tool (not just a basic code reader). Clear the code and perform a road test to see if P155B-00 returns immediately.

Conclusion

Reductant Heater Failure:

The engine's computer (ECM) has detected that the heater responsible for keeping the AdBlue fluid from freezing or maintaining its operating temperature is not performing correctly.
