300ZX Self-Diagnosing
- If power shift indicator flickers at intervals of 1 second up to D2 speed (8-9 MPH), check for broken wiring between shift switch and ECU connector, harness. If wiring is good, shift switch is malfunctioning.
- If power shift indicator flickers at intervals of 1 second above D2 speed (8-9 MPH), vehicle speed sensor is defective or wiring between vehicle speed sensor and ECU is broken.
- To check vehicle speed sensor, connect voltmeter between terminals No. 11 and No. 22 of ECU connector. Good vehicle speed sensor will give voltage reading varying from 0 volts to over 5 volts while driving vehicle very slowly over 3 feet.
- If power shift indicator light flickers at 1/4 second intervals, throttle sensor is defective, wiring harness is broken between throttle sensor and ECU, or ECU is malfunctioning.
- To check throttle sensor, connect voltmeter to ECU connector terminals No. 4 and No. 22. Reading should be 0 volts in fully closed throttle position. Reading should be 4 volts in full open throttle position.
