Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Altima. 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 RETRIEVING DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES .

    OK or NG 

    1. OK (with CONSULT-II): GO TO 2.
    2. NG: Check accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor circuit for engine control. Refer to DTC P0122 OR DTC P0123: THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR and DTC P2122 OR DTC P2123: APP SENSOR . If CAN communication line is detected, GO TO "DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE ".
  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".

      Voltage: 

      Fully-closed throttle :Approximately 0.5V 

      Fully-Open throttle :Approximately 4V 

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: GO TO  4.
