ECU NISSAN PATROL 1998 Y61 / 5.G Engine Control Workshop Manual

Precautions
+Before connecting or disconnecting the ECM harness
connector, turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect nega-
tive battery terminal. Failure to do so may damage the ECM
because battery voltage is applied to ECM even if ignition
switch is turned off.
+When connecting ECM harness connector, tighten secur-
ing bolt until the gap between orange indicators disap-
pears.
: 3.0 - 5.0 Nzm (0.3 - 0.5 kg-m, 26 - 43 in-lb)
+When connecting or disconnecting pin connectors into or
from ECM, take care not to damage pin terminals (bend or
break).
Make sure that there are not any bends or breaks on ECM
pin terminal, when connecting pin connectors.
+Before replacing ECM, perform Terminals and Reference
Value inspection and make sure ECM functions properly.
Refer to EC-54.
+If MIL illuminates or blinks irregularly when engine is
running, water may have accumulated in fuel ®lter. Drain
water from fuel ®lter. If this does not correct the problem,
perform speci®ed trouble diagnostic procedures.
+After performing each TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS, perform
``OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK'' or ``DTC (Diagnostic
Trouble Code) CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE''.
The DTC should not be displayed in the ``DTC CONFIRMA-
TION PROCEDUREº if the repair is completed. The ``OVER-
ALL FUNCTION CHECK'' should be a good result if the
repair is completed.

PRECAUTIONS AND PREPARATION
EC-6

DTC and MIL Detection Logic
When a malfunction is detected for the ®rst time, the malfunction (DTC) is stored in the ECM memory.
The MIL will light up each time the ECM detects malfunction. However, if the same malfunction is experienced
in two consecutive driving patterns and the engine is still running, the MIL will stay lit up. For diagnostic items
causing the MIL to light up, refer to ``DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX'', EC-1.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
HOW TO READ DTC
The diagnostic trouble code can be read by the following methods.
1. The number of blinks of the malfunction indicator lamp in the Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-Diagnostic
Results) Examples: 11, 13, 14, etc.
These DTCs are controlled by NISSAN.
2. CONSULT Examples: ``CAM POS SEN (PUMP)'', etc.
+Output of the trouble code means that the indicated circuit has a malfunction. However, in the Mode
II it does not indicate whether the malfunction is still occurring or occurred in the past and returned
to normal.
CONSULT can identify them. Therefore, using CONSULT (if available) is recommended.
HOW TO ERASE DTC
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased by the following methods.
Selecting ``ERASE'' in the ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS'' mode with CONSULT.
Changing the diagnostic test mode from Diagnostic Test Mode II to Mode I. (Refer to EC-32.)
+If the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost within 24 hours.
+When you erase the DTC, using CONSULT is easier and quicker than switching the diagnostic test
modes.
HOW TO ERASE DTC (With CONSULT)
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. Turn CONSULT ``ON'' and touch ``ENGINE''.
3. Touch ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS''.
4. Touch ``ERASE''. (The DTC in the ECM will be erased.)
HOW TO ERASE DTC (No Tools)
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'' again.
2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I. (Refer to EC-32.)

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MIL, DTC, CONSULT AND DRIVING PATTERNS
*1: When a malfunction is detected, MIL will light up.
*2: When the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive
driving patterns, MIL will stay lit up.
*3: MIL will go off after vehicle is driven three times without
any malfunctions.
*4: When a malfunction is detected for the ®rst time, the DTC
will be stored in ECM.*5: The DTC will not be displayed any longer after vehicle is
driven 40 times without the same malfunction.
(The DTC still remain in ECM.)
*6: Other screens except SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS &
DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) cannot display the mal-
function. DATA MONITOR (AUTO TRIG) can display the
malfunction at the moment it is detected.

CHECK INJECTION TIMING.
1. Set No. 1 piston at TDC on its com-
pression stroke.
2. Remove injection tubes and air bleeder
on the back of injection pump.
3. Set dial gauge so its indicator points to
somewhere between 1.0 and 2.0 mm
(0.039 and 0.079 in) on the scale.
4. Turn crankshaft 1 turn clockwise and
check that dial gauge indicates the
same value again.
5. Turn crankshaft counterclockwise about
100 degrees, then turn crankshaft
clockwise slowly, and set dial gauge
indicator to 0 mm at the position it
stops.
6. Turn crankshaft clockwise and set the
injection timing mark on the crankshaft
pulley to the timing indicator.
7. Read plunger lift.
Plunger lift:
0.92 0.04 mm (0.0362 0.0016 in)
+When repeating the checking, start
with step 5.

ADJUSTING
1. If plunger lift is not within the speci®ed
value, adjust by turning injection pump.
+If indication is smaller than the speci-
®ed value, turn pump body away
from engine.
+If indication is larger than the speci-
®ed value, turn pump body towards
engine.
2. Tighten injection pump securing bolts
and nuts.
