Dtc Description

DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

DTC	CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content)	DTC detection condition
P34AC	A camshaft posi actuator posi sens B1 (A camshaft position actuator position sensor bank 1)	Diagnosis condition	—
		Signal (terminal)	Electric intake valve timing control position sensor signal
		Threshold	An excessively low/high voltage from the sensor is sent to the electric IVT control module.
		Diagnosis delay time	1 second or more

POSSIBLE CAUSE

Harness or connectors [Electric intake valve timing (IVT) control actuator circuit is open or shorted.]
Electric IVT control actuator

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).

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.

Dtc Diagnosis Procedure

DTC Diagnosis Procedure

CHECK ELECTRIC INTAKE VALVE TIMING CONTROL POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT

Turn ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect electric intake valve timing control position sensor harness connector.
Disconnect intake valve timing control module harness connector.

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

Electric intake valve timing control position sensor		Electric intake valve timing control module		Continuity
Connector	Terminal	Connector	Terminal	Continuity
F87	3	F80	9	Existed
	4		35
	5		6

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

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >>

GO TO 2.

NO >>

Repair or replace error-detected parts.

CHECK INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

Check intermittent incident. Refer to Intermittent Incident.

Is the inspection result normal?
YES >>
Replace the electric intake valve timing control actuator. Refer to Exploded View.
NO >>
Repair or replace error-detected parts.
