ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
MAXIMUM AMOUNT CONTROL
Input/Output Signal Chart
The maximum injection amount is controlled to an optimum by the engine speed, intake air amount, engine
coolant temperature, and accelerator opening in accordance with the driving conditions.
This prevents the oversupply of the injection amount caused by decreased air density at a high altitude or dur-
ing a system failure.
DECELERATION CONTROL
Input/Output Signal Chart
The ECM sends a fuel cut signal to the fuel injectors and fuel pump during deceleration for better fuel effi-
ciency. The ECM determines the time of deceleration according to signals from the accelerator pedal position
sensor and crankshaft position sensor.
Fuel Injection Timing Control SystemEBS01KCF
DESCRIPTION
The target fuel injection timing in accordance with the engine speed and the fuel injection amount are recorded
as a map in the ECM beforehand. The ECM determines the optimum injection timing using sensor signals
accordance with the map.
Air Conditioning Cut ControlEBS01KCG
INPUT / OUTPUT SIGNAL CHART
*1: The input signal is sent to the ECM through CAN communication line.
*2: The output signal is sent from the ECM through CAN communication line.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This system improves acceleration when the air conditioner is used.
When the accelerator pedal is fully depressed, the air conditioner is turned off for a few seconds.
When engine coolant temperature becomes excessively high, the air conditioner is turned off. This continues
until the engine coolant temperature returns to normal.

If the engine speed is above 2,800 rpm under no load (for example, the shift position is neutral and engine
speed is over 2,800 rpm) fuel will be cut off after some time. The exact time when the fuel is cut off varies
based on engine speed. Fuel cut will be operated until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm, then fuel cut will
be cancelled.

ENGINE CONTROL SYSTEM
CAN Communication
EBS01KCJ
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an on-vehicle mul-
tiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error detection ability. Many elec-
tronic control units are equipped onto a vehicle, and each control unit shares information and links with other
control units during operation (not independent). In CAN communication, control units are connected with 2
communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring.
Each control unit transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
Refer toLAN-30, "
CAN Communication Unit", about CAN communication for detail.

Fuel FilterEBS01KCK
DESCRIPTION
A water draining cock is on the lower side and a priming pump for bleeding air is on the upper side.
AIR BLEEDING
Pump the priming pump (1) to bleed air.
lWhen air is bled completely, the pumping of the priming pump
suddenly becomes heavy. Stop the operation at that time.
lIf it is difficult to bleed air by the pumping of the priming pump
(the pumping of the priming pump does not become heavy), dis-
connect the fuel supply hose between the fuel filter and the fuel
gallery. Then, perform the operation described above, and make
sure that fuel comes out. (Use a pan, etc. so as not to spill fuel.
Do not let fuel get on engine and other parts.) After that, connect
the hose, then bleed air again.
lStart engine and let it idle for at least 1 minute after performing
air bleeding.
WATER DRAINING
1. Remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, protector assembly from the dash panel as follows.
a. Remove the air cleaner case (upper), air duct assembly, and vacuum hose for brake booster (between the
vacuum pump and vacuum pipe).
CAUTION:
After the duct is removed, cover the opening with gum tape, etc. to prevent foreign object from
getting into the engine during the operation.
b. Remove the mounting nuts on the dash panel, then remove the fuel filter, filter bracket, and protector
assembly from the dash panel.
lIt is not necessary to disconnect the fuel hose.
2. Using a tool such as a pliers, loosen the water draining cock at
the bottom of the fuel filter.
Loosening drain cock four to five turns causes water to
start draining.
Do not remove drain cock by loosening it excessively.
If water dose not drain properly, move the priming up and down.
CAUTION:
When the water is drained, the fuel is also drained. Use a
pan, etc. to avoid fuel adherence to the rubber parts such as
the engine mount insulator.
Do not over-tighten the water draining cock. This will dam-
age the cock thread, resulting in water or fuel leak.
3. Bleed air of the fuel filter. Refer toEC-23, "
AIR BLEEDING".
4. Start the engine.

Injector Adjustment Value RegistrationEBS01KCM
DESCRIPTION
Injector adjustment value indicates manufacturing tolerance and the value is printed on the top of fuel injec-
tor.The injector adjustment value which is correctly stored in ECM is needed for precise fuel injection control.
A performance of emission control and a drivability may effect when there is a mismatch between the following
two values.
lThe injector adjustment value stored in ECM
lThe injector adjustment value of the injector which is installed on the vehicle
Injector Adjustment Value Registration must be performed after the following cases.
lInjector(s) are replaced.
lECM is replaced.
For the first case, Injector Adjustment Value Registration for the replaced fuel injector must be performed. And
for the second case, Injector Adjustment Value Registration for all the fuel injectors must be performed.
OPERATION PROCEDURE
NOTE:
lBefore performing this procedure, record injector adjustment value printed on a fuel injector.
lWhen all fuel injectors are replaced or ECM is replaced, it is recommended to perform “INJ ADJ
VAL CLR” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode before performing this procedure. By performing “INJ ADJ
VAL CLR” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode, injector adjustment value stored in ECM is initialized.
1. Turn ignition switch ON (engine stopped).
2. Select “ENTER INJECTOR CALIB DATA” in “WORK SUPPORT” mode with CONSULT-II.
3. Touch “START”.
NOTE:
When touching “START”, CONSULT-II reads injector adjustment values stored in ECM.
4. Select the number of the cylinder which needs Injector Adjustment Value Registration.
5. Input injector adjustment value, and touch “ENTER”.
NOTE:
Input injector adjustment value is stored in CONSULT-II.
6. Repeat step 4 - 5 till there is no cylinder which needs Injector Adjustment Value Registration, and touch
“START”.
NOTE:
When touching “START”, injector adjustment values stored in CONSULT-II are written onto ECM memory.
7. After “CMND FINISHED” is displayed, make sure that the following values are same for each cylinder.
lInjector adjustment value which is printed on a fuel injector.
lInjector adjustment value which is displayed on CONSULT-II screen.
NOTE:
lIn this step, CONSULT-II reads injector adjustment values stored in ECM and displays the values on
the CONSULT-II screen. This is for checking if injector adjustment values are written onto ECM memory
correctly.
Example: Injector adjustment value = D021ABCD1A061234000000000000E6

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEMPFP:00028
DTC Detection LogicEBS01KCN
When a malfunction is detected, the malfunction (DTC) and freeze frame data are stored in the ECM memory.
The MI will light up each time the ECM detects malfunction. For diagnostic items causing the MI to light up,
refer toEC-6, "
INDEX FOR DTC".
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)EBS01KCO
HOW TO READ DTC
The DTC can be read by the following methods.
With CONSULT-II
CONSULT-IIdisplaystheDTCin"SELF-DIAGRESULTS"mode.Example:P0117,P0335,P1268,etc.These
DTCs are prescribed by ISO15031-5.
(CONSULT-II also displays the malfunctioning component or system.)
Without CONSULT-II
The number of blinks of the MI in the Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-Diagnostic Results) indicates the DTC.
Example: 0117, 0335, 1260, etc.
lOutput of a DTC indicates a malfunction. However, the Diagnostic Test Mode II does not indicate
whether the malfunction is still occurring or has occurred in the past and has returned to normal.
CONSULT-II can identify malfunction status as shown below. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if avail-
able) is recommended.
HOW TO ERASE DTC
With CONSULT-II
1. If the ignition switch stays ON after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once. Wait at least 5
seconds and then turn it ON (engine stopped) again.
2. Touch “ENGINE”.
3. Touch “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.
4. Touch “ERASE”. (The DTC in the ECM will be erased.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting “ERASE” in the “SELF-
DIAG RESULTS” mode with CONSULT-II.
Without CONSULT-II
1. If the ignition switch stays ON after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once.
2. Wait at least 10 seconds and then turn it ON (engine stopped) again.
3. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by depressing the accelerator pedal. Refer to
EC-29, "
HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE".
PBIB2452E

EC-28
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM
lIf the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost within 24
hours.
lThe following data are cleared when the ECM memory is erased.
–Diagnostic trouble codes
–Freeze frame data
–Fuel pump learning value
Actual work procedures are explained using a DTC as an example. Be careful so that not only the DTC, but all
of the data listed above, are cleared from the ECM memory during work procedures.
Freeze Frame DataEBS01KCP
The ECM records the driving conditions such as calculated load value, engine coolant temperature, engine
speed, vehicle speed and intake manifold pressure at the moment a malfunction is detected.
The data, stored together with the DTC data, are called freeze frame data and displayed on CONSULT-II. For
details, seeEC-28, "
Freeze Frame Data".
Only one set of freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM. If freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory
and another freeze frame data occurs later, the first (original) freeze frame data remains unchanged in the
ECM memory.
Freeze frame data (along with the DTCs) are cleared when the ECM memory is erased. Procedures for clear-
ing the ECM memory are described inEC-27, "
HOW TO ERASE DTC".
NATS (Nissan Anti-theft System)EBS01KCQ
lIf the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch in
the ON position or "NATS MALFUNCTION" is displayed on
"SELF-DIAG RESULTS" screen, perform self-diagnostic
results mode with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Refer toBL-170, "
NATS(Nissan Anti-Theft System)".
lConfirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching "ERASE" in "SELF-DAIG RESULTS" mode
with CONSULT-II.
lWhen replacing ECM, initialization of NATS system and reg-
istration of all NATS ignition key IDs must be carried out
with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner.
Regarding the procedure of NATS initialization and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CON-
SULT-II operation manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)EBS01KCR
DESCRIPTION
The MI is located on the combination meter.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON without
the engine running. This is a bulb check.
lIf the MI does not light up, refer toEC-354, "MI&DATA LINK
CONNECTORS".
2. When the engine is started, the MI should go off.
If the MI remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSISPFP:00004
Trouble Diagnosis IntroductionEBS01KCT
INTRODUCTION
The engine has an ECM to control major systems such as fuel injec-
tion control, fuel injection timing control, glow control system, etc.
The ECM accepts input signals from sensors and instantly actuators.
It is essential that both input and output signals are proper and sta-
ble. At the same time, it is important that there are no malfunctions
such as vacuum leaks, or other malfunctions with the engine.
It is much more difficult to diagnose a malfunction that occurs inter-
mittently rather than continuously. Most intermittent malfunctions are
caused by poor electric connections or improper wiring. In this case,
careful checking of suspected circuits may help prevent the replace-
ment of good parts.
A visual check only may not find the cause of the incidents. A road
test with CONSULT-II or a circuit tester connected should be per-
formed. Follow theEC-34, "
WORK FLOW".
Before undertaking actual checks, take a few minutes to talk with a
customer who approaches with a driveability complaint. The cus-
tomer can supply good information about such incidents, especially
intermittent ones. Find out what symptoms are present and under
what conditions they occur. A Diagnostic Worksheet like the example
on next page should be used.
Start your diagnosis by looking for “conventional” incidents first. This
will help troubleshoot driveability incidents on an electronically con-
trolled engine vehicle.
