Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC WITH ECM 
    • Check P code with CONSULT-II "ENGINE".

      Turn ignition switch ON and select "SELF DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS" mode for "ENGINE" with CONSULT-II.

    Refer to MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP (MIL) ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK (with CONSULT-II): GO TO 2.
    2. OK (without CONSULT-II): GO TO  3.
    3. NG: Check throttle position sensor [accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor] circuit for engine control. Refer to DTC P0122, P0123: TP SENSOR and DTC P2122, P2123: APP SENSOR .
  2. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL (WITH CONSULT-II) 

    With CONSULT-II 

    1. Turn ignition switch to ON position.

      (Do not start engine.)

    2. Select "TCM INPUT SIGNALS" in "DATA MONITOR" mode for "A/T" with CONSULT-II.
    3. Read out the value of "THRTL POS SEN".

    1. Voltage: 
    2. Fully-closed throttle: Approximately 0.5V 
    3. Fully-open throttle: Approximately 4V 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  4.
    2. NG: Check harness for short or open between ECM and TCM regarding throttle position sensor [accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor] circuit. (Main harness)
  3. CHECK INPUT SIGNAL (WITHOUT CONSULT-II) 

    Without CONSULT-II 

    1. Turn ignition switch to ON position. (Do not start engine.)
    2. Check voltage between TCM terminals 41 (GY) and 42 (B/W) while accelerator pedal is depressed slowly.

      1. Voltage: 
      2. Fully-closed throttle valve: Approximately 0.5V 
      3. Fully-open throttle valve: Approximately 4V 
      4. (Voltage rises gradually in response to throttle position.) 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO 4.
    2. NG: Check harness for short or open between ECM and TCM regarding throttle position sensor [accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor] circuit. (Main harness)
  4. CHECK TCM INSPECTION 
    1. Perform TCM input/output signal inspection. See INPUT/OUTPUT SIGNAL OF TCM .
    2. If NG, recheck TCM pin terminals for damage or loose connection with harness connector.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: INSPECTION END 
    2. NG: Repair or replace damaged parts.
