Altima Hybrid: What Owners Should Know

  • The 2007–2011 Altima Hybrid uses a 34-module NiMH pack of about 245 volts in the trunk, behind the rear seat.
  • Nissan licensed the hybrid system from Toyota, so the battery design is closely related to the 2007–2011 Camry Hybrid.
  • Every Altima Hybrid is now well past its factory battery coverage.
  • Some were used as taxis and fleet cars with high mileage — a module repair can still make sense when the rest of the car is solid.
  • Check your VIN for open recalls on NHTSA.gov before paying for any hybrid repair.

Common Symptoms

  • Hybrid system warning and check engine light
  • Engine running more often and lower MPG
  • Battery gauge swinging quickly
  • Weak acceleration
  • Loud battery cooling fan

Problems We See Most

Aging modules

After 15+ years, uneven module wear is the most common cause of warnings.

Cooling fan

A clogged fan raises pack temperature.

Not always the battery

Other hybrid parts can set warnings — we test first.

Warning Codes on the Altima Hybrid

The Altima Hybrid reports battery problems much like a Toyota hybrid: P0A80 and P0A7F are the most common. We confirm with block-voltage and load testing — see our hybrid error code guide.
