DTC P0128 THERMOSTAT FUNCTIONPFP:21200
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS0006E
Engine coolant temperature has not risen enough to open the thermostat even though the engine has run long
enough.
This is due to a leak in the seal or the thermostat stuck open.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS0006F
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
TESTING CONDITION:

For best results, perform at ambient temperature of –10°C (14°F) or higher.

For best results, perform at engine coolant temperature of –10°C (14°F) to 68°C (154°F).
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Replace thermostat with new one. Refer to CO-26, "WATER INLET AND THERMOSTAT ASSEMBLY" .
Use only a genuine NISSAN thermostat as a replacement. If an incorrect thermostat is used, the MIL may
come on.
2. Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Select “COOLAN TEMP/S” in “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
4. Check the indication of “COOLAN TEMP/S”.
If it is below 68°C (154°F), go to following step.
If it is above 68°C (154°F), cool down the engine to less than 60°C (140°F), then go to next step.
5. Drive vehicle for 10 consecutive minutes under the following conditions.
6. Check 1st trip DTC.
7. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-246, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-III” above.

DTC P0130, P0150 A/F SENSOR 1
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
DTC P0130, P0150 A/F SENSOR 1PFP:22693
Component DescriptionNBS006U5
The air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 is a planar one-cell limit current sen-
sor. The sensor element of the A/F sensor 1 is composed an elec-
trode layer, which transports ions. It has a heater in the element.
The sensor is capable of precise measurement = 1, but also in the
lean and rich range. Together with its control electronics, the sensor
outputs a clear, continuous signal throughout a wide range.
The exhaust gas components diffuse through the diffusion layer at
the sensor cell. An electrode layer is applied voltage, and this current
relative oxygen density in lean. Also this current relative hydrocar-
bon density in rich.
Therefore, the A/F sensor 1 is able to indicate air fuel ratio by this
electrode layer of current. In addition, a heater is integrated in the
sensor to ensure the required operating temperature of about 800°C
(1,472°F).
CONSULT-III Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeNBS000ET
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS000EU
To judge the malfunction, the diagnosis checks that the A/F signal computed by ECM from the A/F sensor 1
signal fluctuates according to fuel feedback control.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS006U6
Perform PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A first.
If the DTC cannot be confirmed, perform PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION B.
NOTE:
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 11V at idle.
PROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION A
With CONSULT-III
1. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2. Let engine idle for 2 minutes.
