Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2012 Nissan Pathfinder. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK INTAKE SYSTEM

    Check the following for connection.

    • Air duct
    • Vacuum hoses
    • Intake air passage between air duct and intake manifold

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: Reconnect the parts.

  2. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection E24. Refer to Ground Inspection in "GROUND INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 3.

    NO: Repair or replace ground connection.

  3. CHECK MASS AIR FLOW (MAF) SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
    1. Disconnect MAF sensor harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between MAF sensor harness connector and ground.

      F53 4 F79 51 Existed
    2. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 7.

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

  7. CHECK INTAKE AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR

    Check intake air temperature sensor. Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 8.

    NO: Replace MAF sensor (with intake air temperature sensor). Refer to AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT .

  8. CHECK EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR

    Check EVAP control system pressure sensor. Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 9.

    NO: Replace EVAP control system pressure sensor. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

  9. CHECK MAF SENSOR

    Check MAF sensor. Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 10.

    NO: Replace MAF sensor. Refer to AIR CLEANER AND AIR DUCT .
