Nissan Sentra B18 (2020-2025) Service Manual: P2135 Tp Sensor

Dtc Description

DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC

CONSULT screen terms

(Trouble diagnosis content)

DTC detection condition

P2135

TP SENSOR-B1

(Throttle/Pedal position sensor/switch “A” / “B” voltage correlation)

Diagnosis condition

Engine running at idle

Signal (terminal)

TP sensor 1 signal and TP sensor 2 signal

Threshold

Rationally incorrect voltage is sent to ECM compared with the signals from TP sensor 1 and TP sensor 2

Diagnosis delay time

POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Harness or connector (TP sensor 1 or 2 circuit is open or shorted.)

  • Electric throttle control actuator (TP sensor 1 or 2)

FAIL-SAFE

Engine Control System

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode

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
  1. CHECK DTC PRIORITY

    If DTC P2135 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.

  2. PRECONDITIONING

    If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been 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, confirm that battery voltage is more than 8 V at idle.

    >>

    GO TO 3.

  3. PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

    1. Start the engine and let it idle for 1 second.

    2. Check DTC.

    Is 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
