Diagnostic NISSAN ALMERA N16 2003 Electronic Repair Manual

Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically. Continued refueling may cause fuel
overflow, resulting in fuel spray and possibly a fire.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic trouble codes, do
not carelessly disconnect the harness connectors which are
related to the engine control system and TCM (Transmission
Control Module) system. The connectors should be discon-
nected only when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
SGI787
PRECAUTIONS FOR MULTIPORT FUEL INJECTION
SYSTEM OR ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
NJGI0001S04Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
PRECAUTIONS FOR THREE WAY CATALYSTNJGI0001S05If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst, the cata-
lyst temperature will be excessively high. To prevent this, follow the
instructions below:
Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously
damage the three way catalyst.
When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine
compression, make tests quickly and only when necessary.
Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the
engine may misfire, causing damage to the catalyst.
Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable
material off the exhaust pipe and the three way catalyst.

PRECAUTIONS FOR HOSESNJGI0001S06Hose Removal and InstallationNJGI0001S0601To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.

SGI862-A
DETECTABLE LINES AND NON-DETECTABLE LINESNJGI0003S0205In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires,
with different weight are used.
A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a “detectable
line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code)”. A “detectable line for
DTC” is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with
the on board diagnostic system.
A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a “non-detect-
able line for DTC”. A “non-detectable line for DTC” is a circuit
in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board
diagnostic system.

NOTICE:
Trouble diagnoses indicate work procedures required to diagnose
problems effectively. Observe the following instructions before
diagnosing.
1)Before performing trouble diagnoses, read the “Prelimi-
nary Check”, the “Symptom Chart” or the “Work Flow”.
2)After repairs, re-check that the problem has been com-
pletely eliminated.
3)Refer to Component Parts and Harness Connector Loca-
tion for the Systems described in each section for
identification/location of components and harness con-
nectors.
4)Refer to the Circuit Diagram for quick pinpoint check.
If you need to check circuit continuity between harness
connectors in more detail, such as when a sub-harness is
used, refer to Wiring Diagram in each individual section
and Harness Layout in EL section for identification of har-
ness connectors.
5)When checking circuit continuity, ignition switch should
be OFF.
6)Before checking voltage at connectors, check battery volt-
age.
7)After accomplishing the Diagnostic Procedures and Elec-
trical Components Inspection, make sure that all harness
connectors are reconnected as they were.

How to Follow Test Groups in Trouble
Diagnoses
NJGI0006S01
SGI138A
1)Work and diagnostic procedure
Start to diagnose a problem using procedures indicated in
enclosed test groups.
2)Questions and required results
Questions and required results are indicated in bold type in test
group.
The meaning of are as follows:
a. Battery voltage→11 - 14V or approximately 12V
b. Voltage: Approximately 0V→Less than 1V
3)Symbol used in illustration
Symbols included in illustrations refer to measurements or pro-
cedures. Before diagnosing a problem, familiarize yourself with
each symbol. Refer to “CONNECTOR SYMBOLS” (GI-16) and
“Key to Symbols Signifying Measurements or Procedures” (GI-
34).
4)Action items
Next action for each test group is indicated based on result of
each question. Test group number is shown in the left upper
portion of each test group.
