Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Nissan Titan XD. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK DTC PRIORITY 
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Connect CONSULT and check for other existing "ENGINE" diagnostic trouble codes.

    If DTC P06A4-00 or P06A5-00 is present, perform the confirmation procedure (trouble diagnosis) for these other DTCs first.

    Is applicable DTC detected?

    YES

    Perform diagnosis of applicable DTC. Refer to DTC Index .

    NO

    GO TO 2 .

  2. CHECK FOR ACTIVE ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR DTC 

    Check for DTC P2122-00 being active on the CONSULT screen.

    Is applicable DTC active?

    YES

    GO TO 3 .

    NO

    Refer to Intermittent Incident .

  3. INSPECT ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR AND CONNECTOR PINS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor from engine harness connector.
    3. Inspect the accelerator pedal position sensor connector pins for the following:
      • Loose connector
      • Corroded pins
      • Bent or broken pins
      • Pushed back or expanded pins
      • Moisture in or on the connector
      • Missing or damaged connector seals
      • Dirt or debris on or in the connector pins
      • Connector shell broken
      • Wire insulation damage
      • Damaged connector locking tab.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 4 .

    NO

    Repair or replace error-detected parts.

  4. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Check the voltage between accelerator pedal position sensor supply voltage and return circuit terminals.

    NO

    GO TO 7 .

  5. CHECK THE CIRCUIT RESPONSE 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Connect a jumper wire between accelerator pedal position sensor connector 5V supply terminal 2 and signal circuit terminal 3.
    3. Turn key ON and wait 30 seconds.
    4. Connect CONSULT and check for current "ENGINE" diagnostic trouble codes.

    Did P2123-00 DTC become active and P2122-00 DTC become inactive?

    YES

    GO TO 6 .

    NO

    GO TO 7 .

  6. CHECK THE CIRCUIT RESPONSE 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the jumper wire.
    3. Reconnect the accelerator pedal position sensor connector.
    4. Key ON. Connect CONSULT and check for current "ENGINE" diagnostic trouble codes.

    Did P2122-00 DTC become active?

    YES

    Replace the accelerator pedal position sensor. Refer to Removal and Installation .

    NO

    The removal and installation of the connector corrected the issue.

  7. INSPECT ECM AND ENGINE HARNESS CONNECTOR PINS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM from engine harness connector.
    3. Inspect the ECM connector pins for the following:
      • Loose connector
      • Corroded pins
      • Bent or broken pins
      • Pushed back or expanded pins
      • Moisture in or on the connector
      • Missing or damaged connector seals
      • Dirt or debris on or in the connector pins
      • Connector shell broken
      • Wire insulation damage
      • Damaged connector locking tab.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES

    GO TO 8 .

    NO

    Repair or replace error-detected parts.

  8. CHECK ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUITS FOR OPEN 

    Check the continuity between accelerator pedal position sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
