Diagnostic Procedure (3.3L)

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Xterra and 2002 Nissan Frontier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. Turn ignition off. Loosen and retighten engine ground bolts. See Figure . Loosen and retighten appropriate HO2S1 to 30-44 ft. lbs. (40-60 N.m). See Figure . Go to next step.
  2. Start engine and let it idle. Check for exhaust leak before 3-way catalyst (manifold). Listen for intake leak after MAF sensor. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. If using CONSULT-II, go to next step. If not using CONSULT-II, go to step  4 .
  3. Select SELF-LEARNING CONT in WORK SUPPORT mode with CONSULT-II. Clear self-learning control coefficient by pressing CLEAR. Let engine idle for at least 10 minutes. If 1st trip DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 or DTC P0175 is detected and engine is difficult to start, perform diagnosis for DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 or DTC P0175. See DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 OR DTC P0175: FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION  . If 1st trip DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 or DTC P0175 is not detected and engine is not difficult to start, go to step  5 .
  4. Turn ignition off. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector. See Figure . Start engine and let it idle for at least 5 seconds. Turn ignition off. Reconnect MAF sensor. Ensure DTC P0102 is set. Clear DTCs. Start engine and let it idle for at least 10 minutes. If 1st trip DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 or DTC P0175 is detected and engine is difficult to start, perform diagnosis for DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 or DTC P0175. See DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 OR DTC P0175: FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM FUNCTION  . If 1st trip DTC P0171, DTC P0172, DTC P0174 or DTC P0175 is not detected and engine is not difficult to start, go to next step.
  5. Turn ignition off. Disconnect appropriate HO2S1 harness connector. Disconnect ECM harness connector. See Figure or Figure . On bank 1, check continuity of Black wire between HO2S1 harness connector terminal No. 2 and ECM harness connector terminal No. 50. See Figure . On bank 2, check continuity of Green wire between HO2S1 harness connector terminal No. 2 and ECM harness connector terminal No. 51. Also, check circuit for short to ground and short to voltage. If problem is found, repair as necessary. If problem is not found, go to next step.
  6. Measure resistance between appropriate HO2S1 outer terminals. Resistance should be 2.3-4.3 ohms at 77°F (25°C). Check continuity between center terminal and each outer terminal. Continuity should not exist. If resistance and continuity are as specified, go to next step. If resistance or continuity is not as specified, replace HO2S1.
    7. CAUTION: DO NOT use ECM ground terminals when measuring voltage.
  7. Reconnect all harness connectors. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Measure voltage between ground and ECM terminal No. 54 (Red wire) by backprobing, with engine at specified speeds. See MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR VOLTAGE (3.3L)  table under DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE under DTC P0101: MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR. If voltage is as specified, go to step  9 . If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
  8. Turn ignition off. Disconnect and reconnect MAF sensor harness connector. Repeat step  7 . If voltage is still not as specified, remove MAF sensor. Check hot film for damage or dust. If problem is found, clean or replace MAF sensor as necessary. If problem is not found, go to next step.
  9. With engine idling, remove PCV valve with vacuum hose connected. A hissing noise should be heard and a strong vacuum should be felt immediately when a finger is placed over valve inlet. If operation is as specified, go to next step. If operation is not as specified, replace PCV valve.
  10. Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. If using CONSULT-II, go to next step. If using generic scan tool, go to step  12 .
  11. Select MANU TRIG, and adjust TRIGGER POINT to 100% in DATA MONITOR mode with CONSULT-II. Select HO2S1 MNTR (B1)/(B2) and HO2S1 MNTR (B1)/(B2). Hold engine speed at 2000 RPM. Press RECORD. The following should occur:
    • HO2S1 MNTR (B1)/(B2) changes from RICH to LEAN to RICH 5 times in 10 seconds.
    • HO2S1 (B1)/(B2) voltage goes above 0.6V at least once.
    • HO2S1 (B1)/(B2) voltage goes below 0.3V at least once.
    • HO2S1 (B1)/(B2) voltage never exceeds 1.0V.

    If operation is as specified, go to step  14 . If operation is not as specified, replace HO2S1.

    12. CAUTION: DO NOT use ECM ground terminals when measuring voltage.
  12. Measure voltage between ground and ECM terminal No. 50 (bank 1) or No. 51 (bank 2) by backprobing. Increase engine speed to 2000 RPM. The following should occur:
    • Voltage should cycle from less than .3 volt to more than .6 volt and back more than 5 times within 10 seconds.
    • Maximum voltage should be more than .6 volt at least once.
    • Minimum voltage should be less than .3 volt at least once.
    • Voltage should never exceed one volt.

    If operation is as specified, go to next step. If operation is not as specified, replace HO2S1.

  13. Turn ignition off. Disconnect Gray, 6-pin joint connector No. 2 (connector F32) located near ECM. See Figure or Figure . Check the following:
    • Check continuity between ground and connector F32 terminal No. 1 (Black/Yellow wire).
    • Check continuity between each joint connector terminal (component side).

    Continuity should exist. Also, check circuit for short to voltage. If problem is found, repair as necessary. If problem is not found, go to next step.

  14. No problem is indicated at this time. Problem may be intermittent. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article.
