Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Nissan Pathfinder. 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.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK (with CONSULT-II): GO TO 2.
    2. OK (without CONSULT-II): GO TO  3.
    3. NG: Check accelerator pedal position sensor (throttle position sensor) circuit for engine control. Refer to "ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION 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".

      Voltage: 

      Fully-closed throttle: Approximately 0.5V 

      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 accelerator pedal position sensor (throttle position 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 harness connector M120 terminals 41 (P/L) and 42 (B) while accelerator pedal is depressed slowly.

      Voltage: 

      Fully-closed throttle valve: Approximately 0.5V 

      Fully-open throttle valve: Approximately 4V 

      (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 accelerator pedal position sensor (throttle position sensor) circuit. (Main harness)
  4. CHECK DTC 

    Perform Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) confirmation procedure, DTC U1000 CAN COMMUNICATION LINE .

    OK or NG 

    1. OK: INSPECTION END 
    2. NG: GO TO 5.
  5. CHECK TCM INSPECTION 
    1. Perform TCM input/output signal inspection.
    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.
