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 P21CA-00 is present, perform the confirmation procedure (trouble diagnosis) for this other DTC first.

    Is applicable DTC detected?

    YES

    Perform diagnosis of applicable DTC. Refer to DTC Index .

    NO

    GO TO 2 .

  2. CHECK FOR CURRENT DEF LEVEL SENSOR DTC 

    Check for DTC P203D-00 current on the CONSULT screen.

    Is applicable DTC current?

    YES

    GO TO 3 .

    NO

    Refer to Intermittent Incident .

  3. INSPECT DEF SUPPLY PUMP ASSEMBLY AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the DEF supply pump assembly connector.
    3. Inspect connector and 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 DEF LEVEL SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUITS 
    1. Turn ignition switch ON.
    2. Check the voltage between DEF supply pump assembly connector 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 DEF supply pump assembly 5V supply terminal 5 and signal circuit terminal 6.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON and wait 30 seconds.
    4. Connect CONSULT and check for current "ENGINE" diagnostic trouble codes.

    Did DTC P203D-00 become current and P203C-00 become past?

    YES

    GO TO 6 .

    NO

    GO TO 7 .

  6. CHECK THE CIRCUIT RESPONSE 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect the jumper wire.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON and wait 30 seconds.
    4. Connect CONSULT and check for current ENGINE diagnostic trouble codes.

    Did P203C-00 DTC become current?

    YES

    A damaged tank level sensor has been detected. Replace the aftertreatment DEF supply pump assembly. Refer to Exploded View .

    NO

    The removal and installation of the connector corrected the issue. Repair complete.

  7. INSPECT DEF CONTROL MODULE AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS 
    1. Disconnect the DEF control module.
    2. Inspect both connectors and 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 TANK LEVEL SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN 

    Check the signal circuit for continuity between the DEF control module and the DEF supply pump assembly.
