Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Service Manual / Engine / Work Procedure (After Replacing Electric Throttle Control Actuator) / Dtc/circuit Diagnosis / P0223 Tp Sensor

Dtc Description

DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC	CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content)	DTC detection condition
P0223	TP SEN 1/CIRC-B1 (Throttle/Pedal position sensor/switch “B” circuit high)	Diagnosis condition	Engine running at idle
		Signal (terminal)	TP sensor 1 signal
		Threshold	An excessively high voltage from the TP sensor 1 is sent to ECM
		Diagnosis delay time	—

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Harness or connectors (TP sensor 1 circuit is open or shorted.)
Electric throttle control actuator (TP sensor 1)

FAIL-SAFE

Engine Control System

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
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).
Others	The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees. The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition. So, the acceleration will be poor.

Fail safe mode

Nissan Sentra Vehicle behavior

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).

Others

The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees.

The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition. So, the acceleration will be poor.

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.

Confirmation Procedure

Confirmation Procedure

CHECK DTC PRIORITY

If DTC P0223 is displayed with DTC P0643, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0643.

Is applicable DTC detected?
YES >>
Perform diagnosis of applicable. Refer to DTC Description.
NO >>
GO TO 2.
PRECONDITIONING

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

TESTING CONDITION:

Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is 8 V or more at idle.

>>
GO TO 3.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1. Start engine and let it idle for 1 second.
2. Check DTC.
Is DTC detected?
YES >>
Refer to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.
NO-1 >>
To check malfunction symptom before repair: Refer to Intermittent Incident.
NO-2 >>
Confirmation after repair: INSPECTION END
