Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection E9. Refer to Ground Inspection in "CIRCUIT INSPECTION ".

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 2.

      NO: Repair or replace ground connection.

  2. RETIGHTEN A/F SENSOR 1

    Loosen and retighten the A/F sensor 1. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

    : GO TO 3.

  3. CHECK EXHAUST GAS LEAKAGE
    1. Start engine and run it at idle.
    2. Listen for an exhaust gas leakage before three way catalyst (manifold).

      Is exhaust gas leakage detected? 

      YES: Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

      NO: GO TO 4.

  4. CHECK FOR INTAKE AIR LEAKAGE

    Listen for an intake air leakage after the mass air flow sensor.

    Is intake air leakage detected? 

    YES: Repair or replace malfunctioning part.

    NO: GO TO 5.

  5. CLEAR MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING VALUE
    1. Clear the mixture ratio self-learning value. Refer to "MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING VALUE CLEAR: SPECIAL REPAIR REQUIREMENT ".
    2. Run engine for at least 10 minutes at idle speed.
    3. Check 1st trip DTC.

      Is the 1st trip DTC P0171, P0172, P0174 or P0175 detected? Is it difficult to start engine? 

      YES: Perform trouble diagnosis for DTC P0171, P0174 or P0172, P0175. Refer to "DTC LOGIC " or "DTC LOGIC ".

      NO: GO TO 6.

  6. CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
    1. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ground.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 8.

      NO: GO TO 7.

  7. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART

    Check the following.

    • IPDM E/R harness connector F10
    • 15 A fuse (No. 37)
    • Harness for open or short between A/F sensor 1 and fuse

      : Repair or replace harness or connectors.

  8. CHECK A/F SENSOR 1 INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check the continuity between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ECM harness connector.

    5. Also check harness for short to power.

      Is the inspection result normal? 

      YES: GO TO 9.

      NO: Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  9. CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 HEATER

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 10.

    NO: GO TO 13.

  10. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".
