DTC Confirmation Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Sentra. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
NOTE: If DTC confirmation test has been previously performed, always turn ignition off and wait at least 10 seconds before performing next DTC confirmation test.

With CONSULT-II

  1. Open hood. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Turn ignition off and wait at least 10 seconds.
  2. Turn ignition on. Select DATA MONITOR mode with CONSULT-II. Ensure COOLAN TEMP/S indicates more than 158°F (70°C).
  3. Select HO2S2 (B1) P1146 or HO2S2 (B2) P1166 of HO2S2 in DTC WORK SUPPORT mode with CONSULT-II.
  4. Start engine. Follow instructions on CONSULT-II screen. Press SELF-DIAG RESULTS.
  5. If NG is displayed, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE  . If OK is displayed, system is okay at this time. If CANNOT BE DIAGNOSED is displayed, perform the following:
    1. Stop engine and allow to cool until COOLAN TEMP/S indicates less than 158°F (70°C).
    2. Turn ignition on. Select DATA MONITOR mode with CONSULT-II.
    3. Start engine. When COOLAN TEMP/S reaches 158°F (70°C), return to step  3 .
NOTE: Use the following test to check overall function of HO2S2 circuit. During this test, 1st trip DTC may not be confirmed.
CAUTION: DO NOT use ECM ground terminals when measuring voltage.

With Generic Scan Tool (Overall Function Check)

  1. Start engine. Drive vehicle at a speed of more than 43 MPH for 2 consecutive minutes. Stop vehicle with engine running.
  2. Measure voltage between ground and ECM terminal No. 95 (bank 1) or No. 63 (bank 2) by backprobing. See Figure and Figure .
  3. While observing voltmeter, snap throttle to 4000 RPM at least 10 times. Voltage should be less than .43 volt at least once during this procedure.
  4. If voltage is as specified, system is okay at this time. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
  5. Let engine idle for 10 minutes, then measure voltage again. Or, measure voltage while coasting from 50 MPH in 3rd gear. If voltage is as specified, system is okay at this time. If voltage is not as specified, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE  .
