PRECAUTIONS
PRECAUTIONSPFP:00001
Precautions for Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) “AIR BAG” and “SEAT
BELT PRE-TENSIONER”
The Supplemental Rest raint System such as “AIR BAG” and “SEAT BELT PR E-TENSIONER”, used along
with a front seat belt, helps to redu ce th e risk or se verit y of i njury to the driv er and front passenge r for ce rtain
types of col lision. Information necessary to service the system safely is includ ed in the SRS a nd SB section of
this Service Manual.
WARNING:
●To avoid rendering the SRS inopera tive, whi ch could incr ease the risk of pe rsonal injury or death
in the event of a collision which would result in air bag inflation, all maintenance must be performed by an authorized NISSAN/INFINITI dealer.
●Improper maintenance, inc luding incorrect removal and installation of the SRS, can lead to per-
sonal injury ca use d by unintentional ac tiv atio n o f the s ys tem . F or re moval of Spiral C ab le and Air
Bag Module, see the SRS sec tion.
●Do not use electrical test equ ipment o n any circu it related to the SRS unless in structed to in this
Service Manual. SRS wiring harnesses can be id entified by yellow and/or orange harnesses or
harness connectors.

The ECM has an on boa rd diagnos tic system. It wil l light up the m alfunction indicator la mp (MIL) to warn th e
driver of a malfunction causing emission deterioration.
CAUTION:
●Be sure to turn the ignitio n switch OFF and disconne ct the negative battery term inal before any
repair or inspection work. The open/short circuit of related switches, sensors, solenoid valves,
etc. will cause the MIL to light up.
●Be sure to connect and lock the connectors securely after work. A loose (unlocked) connector will
cause the MIL to light up due to the open circuit. (Be sure the connector is free from water, grease,
dirt, bent terminals, etc.)
●Certain systems and components, especially those related to OBD, may use a new style slide-
locking type harness connector. For description and how to disconnect, refer to PG-65, "
NESS CONNECTOR" .
●Be sure to route and secure the harnesses properly after work. The interference of the harness
with a bracket, etc. may cause the MIL to light up due to the short circuit.
●Be sure to connect rubber tubes properly after work. A misconnected or disconnected rubber tube
may cause the MIL to ligh t up due to the m al func tion of the EVAP system or fuel injection system ,
etc.
●Be sure to erase the unnecessary malfunction information (repairs completed) from the ECM and
TCM (Transmission control module) before returning the vehicle to the customer.
PrecautionEBS000PV
●Always use a 12 volt battery as power source.
●Do not attempt to disconne ct b attery c abl es w hile engine is
running.
●Before connecting or d isconnecting th e ECM harnes s con-
nector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect negative
battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applie d to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned off.
●Before removing parts, turn ignition switch OFF and then
disconnect battery ground cable.

PRECAUTIONS
●Do not disassemble ECM.
●If a battery terminal is disconnected, the memory will return
to the ECM value.
The ECM will now start to self-control at its initial value.
Engine operation can vary sl ightl y w he n the te rmin al i s di sconnected. However, this is not an indication of a problem.
Do not replace parts because of a slight var iation.
●When connecting ECM harness connector, fasten it
securely with a lever as far as it will go as shown at right.
SEF707Y
●When connecting or discon necting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
●Securely connect ECM harness connectors.
A poor connection can cause an extremely high (surge)
voltage to develop in coil and condenser, thus resulting in
damage to ICs.
●Keep engi ne con tr ol ha rn es s a t le as t 10 cm (4 i n) a way f rom
adjacent harness, to prevent engine control system malfunctions due to receivin g external noise, degrad ed operation of ICs, etc.
●Keep engine control system parts and harness dry.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The amount of fuel injected from the fuel injector is determined by the ECM. The ECM controls the length of
time the valve remains open (inj ection pu lse durati on). The a mount of fuel inject ed is a pr ogram val ue in the
ECM memory. The program value is preset by engine operating conditions. These conditions are determined
by input signal s (for engine speed an d intake air) from both the cra nkshaft positio n sensor and the mas s air
flow sensor.
VARIOUS FUEL INJECTION INCREASE/DECREASE COMPENSATION
In addition, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance under various operating conditions as listed below.

●During warm-up
●When starting the engine
●During acceleration
●Hot-engine operatio n
●When selector lever is chan ged from “N” to “D”

MIXTURE RATIO FEEDBACK CONTRO L (CLO SED LO OP CONTRO L)
A
EC
C
PBIB0121E
The mixture r atio feedback system provides the best air-fuel mixture ratio for driveability and emission control.
The three way catalyst (manifold) can then better reduce CO, HC and NOx emissions. This system uses
heated oxygen s ensor 1 in the exhau st manifold to m onitor if the engine operation is rich or lean. The ECM
adjusts the injection pulse width according to the sensor voltage signal. For more information about heated
oxygen sensor 1, r e fer to EC-197
. This maintains the mixture ratio within the range of stoichiometric (ideal airfuel mixture).
This stage is referred to as the closed loop control condition.
Heated oxygen sens or 2 is located downstream of the three way catalyst (manifold). Even if the switching
characteristics of heated oxyge n sensor 1 shift , the air-fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric by the signal
from heated oxygen sensor 2.
Open Loop Control
The open loop system condition refers to when the ECM detects any of the following conditions. Feedback
control stops in order to maintain stabilized fuel combustion.
●Deceleration and acceleration
●High-load, high-speed operation
●Malfunction of heated oxygen sensor 1 or its circuit
●Insufficient activation of heated oxygen sensor 1 at low engine coolant temperature
●High engine coolant temperatu re
●During warm-up
●After shifting from “N” to “D”
●When starting the engine
MIXTURE RATIO SELF-LEARNING CONTROL
The mixture ratio fe edback control syste m monitors the mixture ratio signal transmit ted from heated oxygen
sensor 1. This feedba ck sign al is then se nt to the ECM. Th e ECM contro ls the bas ic mixture ratio as close to
the theoretical mixture ratio as possible. However, the basic mixture ratio is not necessarily controlled as originally designed. Both manufacturing differences (i.e., mass air flow sensor hot film) and characteristic changes
during operation (i.e., injector clogging) directly affect mixture ratio.
Accordingly, the dif fer e nc e b etw ee n the ba si c a nd the or e tica l mi xt ure r ati os i s m on it ore d in t his sys te m. T his is
then computed in terms of “injection pu lse duration” to autom atically compens ate for the difference betw een
the two ratios.
“Fuel trim” refers to the feedback compensation valu e compared against the basic injection duration. Fuel trim
includes short term fuel trim and long term fuel trim.
“Short term fuel trim” is the sh ort-term fuel c ompensatio n used to ma intain the mixture ratio at its th eoretical
value. The signal from heated oxygen sensor 1 indicates whether the mixture ratio is RICH or LEAN compared
to the theoretica l value. Th e signal then trigge rs a reductio n in fuel volume if the mixtu re ratio is rich, and a n
increase in fuel volume if it is lean.
“Long term fuel trim” is ov erall fue l compens ation ca rried out long -term to compe nsate fo r continual deviation
of the short t e rm fue l t rim f rom t he c en tra l valu e. Su ch dev ia ti o n wil l oc cu r d ue to in di vi dual eng i ne differences,

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
NTD control system decides the target traction based on the accelerator operation status and the current driving condition. It then selects the engine torque target by correcting running resistance and atmospheric pressure, and controlling the power-train. Using electric throttle control actuator, it achieves the engine torque
development target which corresponds linearly to the driver's accelerator operation.
Running resistance correction control compares the engine torque estimate value, measured vehicle acceleration, and run ning resista nce on a f lat road, and estim ates vehic le weig ht gain a nd running re sistance v ariation caused by slopes to correct the engine torque estimate value.
Atmospheric pressure correction control compares the engine torque estimate value from the airflow rate and
the target engine torque for the target traction, and estimates variation of atmospheric pressure to correct the
target engine torque. This system achieves powerful driving without reducing engine performance in the practical speed range in mountains and high-altitude areas.

Two Trip Detection LogicEBS001FB
When a malfunction is detected for the first time, 1st trip DTC and 1st trip Freeze Frame data are stored in the
ECM memory. The MIL will not light up at this stage. <1st trip>
If the same malfunction is detected again durin g the next drive, the DTC and Freeze Fr ame data are sto red in

NOTE:
Regarding F50 models, “B1” or “BK1” indicates bank 1, “B2” or “BK2” indicates bank 2.
The 1st trip DTC (whose number is the same as the DTC number) is displayed for the latest self-diagnostic
result obtained. If the ECM memory w as cleared pre viously, and the 1st trip DTC did not re occur, the 1st trip
DTC will not be displayed.
If a malfunction is detected during the 1st trip, the 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM memory. The MIL will not
light up (two trip detect ion logic ). If the sam e malfun ction is not detected in the 2nd tri p (meetin g the requi red
driving pattern), the 1 st trip DTC i s clear ed from the E CM me mory. If the same malfunction is detec ted in the
2nd trip, both the 1st trip DTC and DTC are stored in the ECM memory and the MIL lights up. In other words,
the DTC is stor e d in t h e ECM m emo ry an d the MI L lig hts up when the same mal f unct io n oc cur s i n tw o cons ecutive trips. If a 1st trip DTC is stored and a non-diagnostic operation is performed between the 1st and 2nd
trips, only the 1st trip DTC will continue to be stored. For malfunctions that blink or light up the MIL during the
1st trip, the DTC and 1st trip DTC are stored in the ECM memory.
Procedures for clearing the DTC and the 1st trip DTC from the ECM memory are described in “HOW TO
ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION”, EC-63
For malfunctions in which 1st trip DTCs are displayed, refer to EC-51

also displayed on CONSULT-II.
1st trip DTC is specified in Mode 7 of SAE J1979. 1st trip DTC detection occurs without lighting up the MIL and
therefore does not warn the driver of a problem. However, 1st trip DTC detection will not prevent the vehicle
from being tested, for example during Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) tests.

FREEZE FRAME DATA AND 1ST TRIP FREEZE FRAME DATA
The ECM records the driving conditions such as fuel system status, calculated load value, engine coolant temperature, short term fuel trim, long term fuel trim, engine speed, vehicle speed, base fuel schedule and intake
air temperature at the moment a malfunction is detected.
Data which are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data.
The data, stored toge ther with the DTC data, are called freeze fram e data and displaye d on CONSULT-I I or
GST. The 1st trip freeze frame data can only be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, not on the GST. For
details, see EC-122
Only one set of freeze frame data (either 1st trip freeze frame data or freeze frame data) can be stored in the
ECM. 1st trip freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory along with the 1st trip DTC. There is no priority
for 1st trip freeze fr ame data and it is update d each time a different 1st trip DTC is det ected. However, once
freeze frame data (2nd trip detection/MIL on) is stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze frame data is no
longer stored. R eme mber, only one set of free ze fra me da ta can be stored in the ECM . The ECM has th e following pri orities to update the data.
PriorityItems

2Except the above items (Includes A/T related items)
31st trip freeze frame data
Freeze frame dataMisfire — DTC: P0300 - P0308
For example, the EGR malfunction (Priority: 2) was detected and the freeze frame data was stored in the 2nd
trip. After that when the misfire (Priority: 1) is detected in another trip, the freeze frame data will be updated
from the EGR malfunction to the misfire. The 1st trip freeze frame data is updated each time a different malfunction is dete cted. There is no priority fo r 1st trip freeze frame data. However, once freeze frame data is
stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze data is no longer stored (because only one freeze frame data or 1st
trip freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM). If freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory and freeze
frame data with the same priority occurs later, the first (original) freeze frame data remains unchanged in the
ECM memory.
Both 1st trip freeze frame data and freeze frame data (along with the DTCs) are cleared when the ECM memory is erased. Procedures for clearing the ECM memory are described in “HOW TO ERASE EMISSIONRELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION”, EC-63

SYSTEM READINESS TEST (SRT) CODE
System Readiness Test (SRT) code is specified in Mode 1 of SAE J1979.
As part of an enhanced em iss ions tes t for Ins pect ion & Ma inte nanc e (I/M), certain states req uire th e status of
SRT be used to indicate whether the ECM has completed self-diagnosis of major emission systems and components. Completion must be verified in or der for the emissions inspection to proceed.
If a vehicle is rejected for a State emissions inspection due to one or more SRT items indicating “INCMP”, use
the information in this Service Manual to set the SRT to “CMPLT”.
Revision: 2004 April 2002 Q45
EC-55
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
In most case s the EC M w il l a ut om atically comp le te its se lf-diagnosis cyc le d uri ng normal usage, and the SRT
status will indicate “CMPLT” for each application system. Once set as “CMPLT”, the SRT status remains
“CMPLT” until the self-diagnosis memory is erased.
Occasionally, certain portions of the se lf-diagnostic test may not be completed as a result of the customer' s
normal drivin g pattern; the SRT will indicate “I NCMP” for these items.
NOTE:
The SRT will also indicate “INCMP” if the self-diagnosis memory is erased f o r any reason or if the ECM memory power supply is interrupted for several hours.
If, during the state e missions insp ection, th e SRT indicates “CMPLT” for all test items, t he inspecto r will continue with the emissions test. However, if the SRT indicates “INCMP” for one or more of the SRT items the
vehicle is returned to the customer untested.
NOTE:
If MIL is “ON” during the state emissions inspection, the vehicle is also returned to the customer untested even
though the SRT indicates “CMPLT” for all test items. Therefore, it is important to check SRT (“CMPLT”) and
DTC (No DTCs) before the inspection.

*1: P1440 [EVAP control system (small leak) (positive pressure) diagnosis] is one ty pe of SRT related diagnosis. This diagno sis, however, does not contribute to setting the SRT as “CMPLT”, when no malfunction exists in the EVAP system. Therefore, P0440 must be
used instead of P1440.

Required self-diagnostic items to set the SRT to “CMPLT”
SRT is set as “CMPLT” after self-diagnos is has been performed one or m ore times. Completion of SRT is
done regardless of whether the result is OK o r NG. The set timing is different between OK and NG results and
is shown in the table below.
Example
Self-diagnosis result
All OKCase 1P0400OK (1)— (1)OK (2)— (2)
Case 2P0400OK (1 )— (1)— (1)— (1)
NG existsCase 3P0400OKOK——
OK: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the result is OK.
NG: Self-diagnosis is carried out and the result is NG.
—: Self-diagnosis is not carried out.
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results in a single cycle (Ignition OFF-ON-OFF), the SRT will
indicate “CMPLT”. → Case 1 above
When all SRT related self-diagnoses showed OK results through several different cycles, the SRT will indicate
“CMPLT” at the time the respective self-diagnoses have at least one OK result. → Case 2 above
If one or more SRT related self-diagnoses showed NG results in 2 consecutive cycles, the SRT will also indicate “CMPLT”. → Case 3 above
The table above s hows that the mi nimum number of cycles for setting SRT as “INCMP” is one (1) f or each
self-diagnosis (Case 1 & 2) or two (2) for one of self-diagnoses (Case 3). However, in preparation for the state
emissions inspection, it is unnecessary for each self-diagnosis to be executed twice (Case 3) for the following
reasons:
●The SRT will indicate “CMPLT” at the time the respective self-diagnoses have one (1) OK result.
●The emissions inspection requires “CMPLT” of the SRT only with OK self-diagnosis results.
●When, during SRT driving pattern, 1st trip DTC (NG) is detected prior to “CMPLT” of SRT, the self-diagno-
sis memory must be erased from ECM after repair.
●If the 1st trip DTC is erased, all the SRT will indicate “INCMP”.
NOTE:
SRT can be set as “CMPLT” together with the DTC(s). Therefore, DTC check must always be carried out
prior to the state emission inspection even though the SRT indicates “CMPLT”.
SRT Service Procedure
If a vehicle has failed the state emissions inspection due to one or more SRT items indicating “INCMP”, review

● These DTC numbers are clarified in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS)
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II — SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
In this mode, the DTC and 1st trip DTC are indicated by the number of blinks of the MIL as shown below.
The DTC and 1st trip DTC are displayed at the same time. If the MIL does not illuminate in diagnostic test
mode I (Malfunction warning), all displayed items are 1st trip DTCs. If only one code is displayed when the MIL
illuminates in diagnostic test mode II (S ELF-DIAGNOSTI C RESULTS), it is a DTC; if two o r more codes are
displayed, they may be either DTCs or 1st trip DTCs. DTC No. is same as that of 1st trip DTC. These unidentified codes can be identified by using the CONSULT-II or GST. A DTC will be used as an example for how to
read a code.
A particular trouble code can be identified by the number of four-digit numeral flashes. The “zero” is indicated
by the number of ten flashes. The length of time the 1,000th-digit numeral flashes on and off is 1.2 seconds
consisting of an ON (0.6-second) - OFF (0.6-second) cycle.
The 100th-digit numeral and lower digit numerals consist of a 0.3-second ON and 0.3-second OFF cycle.
A change from on e dig it numera l to an other o ccu rs at an interv al of 1 .0-se cond OFF. In other words, the later
numeral appears on the display 1.3 seconds after t he former numeral has disappeared.
A change from one trouble code to another occurs at an interval of 1.8-second OFF.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their DTC numbers. The DTC “0000” refers to no
malfunction. (See EC-10, "
How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic Results)
The DTC can be erased from the back up memory in the EC M by dep ress ing ac cele rator pe dal. Re fer to EC-
67, "HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE" .
●If the battery is disconnected, the DTC will be lost from the backup memory after approx 24 hours.

Driving pattern B means the vehicle operation as follows:
All component s and systems should be monitored at l east once by the OBD syst em.
●The B counter will be cleared when the malfunction is detected once regardless of the driving pattern.
●The B counter will be counted up when driving pattern B is satisfied without any malfunction.
●The MIL will go off when the B counter reaches 3. (*2 in “OBD SYSTEM OPERATION CHART”)
<Driving Pattern C>
Driving pattern C means the veh ic le opera tio n as foll ow s :
1.The following conditions should be satisfied at the same time:
Engine speed: (Engine speed in the freeze frame data) ±375 rpm
Calculated load value: (Calculated load value in the freeze frame data) x (1±0.1) [%]
Engine coolant temperature (T) condition :
●When the freeze frame data shows lower than 70°C (158°F), “T” should be lower than 70°C (158°F).
●When the freeze fram e data shows higher than or equal to 70°C (158°F), “ T” should be higher tha n or
equal to 70°C (158°F).
Example:
If the stored freeze frame data is as follows:
Engine speed: 850 rpm, Calculated load value: 30%, Engine coolant temperature: 80°C (176°F)

The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel control, ignition co ntrol, idle air control system, etc. The ECM accepts
input signals from sensors and instantly drives actuators. It is essential that both input and output signals are proper and stable. At the
same time, it is important that there are no problems such as vacuum leaks, fouled spark plugs, or other problems with the engine.
MEF036D
It is much more difficult to diagn ose a problem th at occurs intermi ttently rather than continuously. Most intermittent problems are
caused by po or electric connec tio ns o r i mp r op er w iri ng . I n this case,
careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replacement of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the problems. A road
test with CONSULT-II (or GST) or a circuit tester connec ted should
be performed. Follow the “Work Flow” on EC-75
Before undertaking a ctual checks, take a fe w minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The customer can supply good information about such problems, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what condition s they occur. A “Diagnostic Worksheet” l ik e t he ex am ple EC-77
