Dtc Description

DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

Note:

DTC P0087 may be displayed when running out of gas.

DTC

CONSULT screen terms

(Trouble diagnosis content)

DTC detection condition

P0087

LOW FUEL PRES

(Fuel rail/system pressure - too low)

Diagnosis condition

Engine running at idle

Signal (terminal)

Fuel rail pressure signal

Threshold

  • Fuel rail pressure does not reach 4.0 MPa (40.8 kg/cm2, 580 psi) at engine cold start [water temperature −12°C (10.4°F) – 40°C (104°F)].

  • Fuel rail pressure remains at 7.5 MPa (76.5 kg/cm2, 1087.5 psi) or less for 1 second or more during engine idle condition after cold start [water temperature −12°C (10.4°F) – 40°C (104°F)].

  • The following condition continues for 5 seconds or more after engine start (regardless of water temperature): Target fuel pressure – Actual fuel pressure = 2.7 MPa (27.5 kg/cm2, 392 psi) or less.

Diagnosis delay time

5 seconds or more

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Fuel system

  • Leakage in fuel line

  • High pressure fuel pump

  • Low pressure fuel pump

  • Damage in lifter

  • Out of gas

  • Harness or connector

  • Fuel Pressure sensor

  • Fuel Injector stuck open

  • Crogged in fuel line

  • High Pressure fuel pump cam and lifter

FAIL-SAFE

Engine Control System

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode

Fail safe mode

Nissan Sentra Vehicle behavior

Traveling control mode

Accelerator angle variation control

ECM controls the accelerator pedal depression speed to make it slower than actual speed. This causes a drop in accelerating performance and encourages the driver to repair malfunction.

Note:

ECM does not control the accelerator pedal releasing speed.

Device fix mode

  • This mode fixes the electric IVT motor and the EVT control solenoid valve in the reference position.

  • The intake manifold runner control valve motor is turned OFF (intake manifold runner control valve opens).

Combustion control mode

Stratified charge combustion control at starting

No stratified charge combustion at starting (cold start).

Idle Start/Stop System

When a DTC is detected, the start/stop indicator lamp blinks slowly and the idle start/stop system operation is prohibited.

When ECM detects error while operating the idle start/stop system, ECM restarts the engine.
