(“A” camshaft position signal output circuit high bank 1)

Diagnosis condition

Engine running at idle

Signal (terminal)

Intake camshaft position sensor signal for electric intake valve timing control

Threshold

The intake camshaft position sensor signal edge count is more than 4 counts per one camshaft rotation

Diagnosis delay time

1 second

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).

Combustion control mode

Stratified charge combustion control at starting

No stratified charge combustion at starting (cold start).

Others

ECM stops the electric valve timing control. (The camshaft returns to the position of most retard angle.)

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.
