Dtc Description

DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC	CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content)	DTC detection condition
P2617	Crankshaft position signal (Crankshaft position signal output circuit/open)	A	Diagnosis condition	Engine running at idle
			Signal (terminal)	Crankshaft position sensor signal for electric intake valve timing control
			Threshold	The signal voltage of crankshaft position sensor is less than 1.0 V
			Diagnosis delay time	1 second
		B	Diagnosis condition	Engine running at idle
			Signal (terminal)	Crankshaft position sensor signal for electric intake valve timing control
			Threshold	The signal voltage of crankshaft position sensor is more than 5.8 V
			Diagnosis delay time	1 second

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Harness or connectors (Crankshaft position sensor signal circuit for electric intake valve timing control is open or shorted.)

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).
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.

CHECK CRANKSHAFT POSITION (CKP) SENSOR SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR ELECTRIC INTAKE VALVE TIMING CONTROL

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect ECM harness connector and electric intake valve timing control module harness connector.

Check the continuity between ECM harness connector and electric intake valve timing control module harness connector.

ECM		Electric intake valve timing control module		Continuity
Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal	Continuity
F24	22	F80	28	Existed

Also check harness for short to power and short to ground.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >>

INSPECTION END

NO >>
