Confirmation Procedure

Confirmation Procedure

  1. PRECONDITIONING-1

    If DTC Confirmation Procedure is previously conducted, always perform the following procedure before conducting the next test.

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

    2. Turn ignition switch ON.

    3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.

    TESTING CONDITION:

    Before performing the following procedure, check that battery voltage is 9 V or more with ignition switch ON.

    >>

    GO TO 2.

  2. PRECONDITIONING-2

    Note:

    • When it is certain that the previous driving is performed with the engine warmed up, the next steps can be performed.

    • When it is difficult to satisfy the conditions, performing Component Function Check can identify the presence or absence of malfunction in the part/system that may result in a possible cause of this DTC. (Perform DTC Confirmation Procedure as much as possible.)

    1. Start the engine and warm it up until engine coolant temperature reaches 70°C (158°F) or more.

    2. Stop the engine and leave the Nissan Sentra vehicle in a cool place (soak the engine) until the engine coolant temperature reaches 35°C (95°F) or less.

    CAUTION:

    • The difference between air temperature and engine coolant temperature must be 5°C (9°F) or less.

    • Never turn ignition switch ON during soak the engine.

    Are the conditions satisfied?

    YES >>

    GO TO 4.

    NO >>

    GO TO 3.

  3. COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

    With CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

    2. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

    3. Select “FUEL PRES SEN V” in “DATA MONITOR” mode of “ENGINE” using CONSULT and check the indication under the following condition.

      Monitor item

      Condition

      Indication

      FUEL PRES SEN V

      • Engine: After warming up

      • Selector lever: P or N position (CVT models), Neutral position (M/T models)

      • A/C switch: OFF

      • No load

      Engine speed: Idle

      0.85 V

      Revving engine from idle to 4,000 rpm quickly

      0.97 V

    Without CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.

    2. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.

    3. Check FRP sensor signal voltage.

    INSPECTION END.

    NO >>

    Proceed to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.

  4. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-1

    With CONSULT

    1. Turn ignition switch ON (engine stopped).

    2. Select “COOLANT TEMP/S” and “INT/A TEMP SE” in “DATA MONITOR” mode of “ENGINE” using CONSULT.

    3. Check that the indicated value of “COOLANT TEMP/S” is less than 35°C (95°F).

    4. Check that the difference between “INT/A TEMP SE” and “COOLANT TEMP/S” is 5°C (41°F) or less.

    5. Check “Self-diagnostic result” of “ENGINE”.

    Is the DTC detected?

    YES >>

    Refer to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.

    NO-1 (Conditions satisfied) >>

    GO TO 5.

    NO-2 (Conditions not satisfied) >>

    GO TO 2.

  5. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-2

    1. Start the engine (or cranking) at least 1 second.

    2. Check “Self-diagnostic result” of “ENGINE”.

    Is the 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

Dtc Diagnosis Procedure

DTC Diagnosis Procedure

Note:

Turning the ignition switch ON with FRP sensor harness connector disconnected causes ECM to detect DTC P0190. Be sure to erase the DTC when the diagnosis procedure.
