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 ENGINE diagnostic trouble codes.
    3. Are any of the following displayed as current on the CONSULT screen:
      • P0405-00
      • P0406-00
      • P0489-00

    Is applicable DTC detected?

    YES

    Refer to DTC Index .

    NO

    GO TO 2 .

  2. INSPECT EGR VALVE POSITION SENSOR AND CONNECTOR PINS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect EGR valve position sensor harness connector F144.
    3. Inspect the engine harness and EGR valve 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 3 .

    NO

    Repair or replace error-detected parts.

  3. CHECK THE CIRCUIT RESPONSE 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect EGR valve harness connector F144.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON and wait 30 seconds.
    4. Connect CONSULT and check for current ENGINE diagnostic trouble codes.

    Did DTC P0406 become current?

    YES

    GO TO 4 .

    NO

    GO TO 6 .

  4. CHECK THE CIRCUIT RESPONSE 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect EGR valve harness connector F144.
    3. Connect a jumper wire between EGR valve harness connector F144 terminals 3 and 4.
    4. Turn ignition switch ON and wait 30 seconds.
    5. Connect CONSULT and check for current ENGINE diagnostic trouble codes.

    Did DTC P0405-00 become current?

    YES

    GO TO 5 .

    NO

    GO TO 6 .

  5. CHECK THE SENSOR SUPPLY VOLTAGE AND RETURN CIRCUIT 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the EGR valve harness connector F144.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Measure the voltage between EGR valve position sensor harness connector F144 terminals 2 and 3.
