Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Service Manual: P2014 Intake Manifold Runner Control Valve Position Sensor

Dtc Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

POSSIBLE CAUSE

• Harness or connectors (Intake manifold runner control position sensor circuit is shorted.)

• Intake manifold runner control position sensor

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.
	Engine output control 1	ECM reduces the engine output, according to the rise in engine speed. This reduces the Nissan Sentra vehicle speed to encourage the driver to repair malfunction. Driving at 70 km/h (44 MPH) or more is possible. Note: This value is a reference value converted from engine power to Nissan Sentra vehicle speed. Actual power limitation value differs due to the malfunctioning part and driving condition.
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).

   YES >>

   Perform diagnosis of applicable. Refer to DTC Description.

   NO >>

   GO TO 2.

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 more than 11 V at idle.

   >>

   GO TO 3.

3. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

   1. Start the engine and let it idle for 10 seconds.

   2. Check 1st trip DTC.

   Is 1st trip DTC detected?

   YES >>

   Proceed to DTC Diagnosis Procedure.

   NO-1 >>

   To check malfunction symptom before repair: Refer to Intermittent Incident.

   NO-2 >>

   Confirmation after repair: INSPECTION END
