Fuel Injection Timing System
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The fuel injection timing system provides the optimal fuel injection timing for the target amount of fuel injected
according to engine speed. The timing is compensated when the vehicle is being driven or when starting
depending on the engine coolant temperature.
The ECM performs duty control on the timing control valve, allowing the valve to provide optimal fuel injection
timing. The ECM also performs feedback control on the timing control valve using the signal from the needle
lift sensor which detects the actual fuel injection timing.

The optimal fuel injection timing data, predetermined in proportion
to engine speeds and amount of fuel injected, are stored in the

timing.

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.)

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
EC-30

Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
1. The malfunction indicator lamp will light up when the ignition
switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb
check.
+If the malfunction indicator lamp does not light up, refer to EL
section (``WARNING LAMPS AND CHIME'') or see EC-188.
2. When the engine is started, the malfunction indicator lamp
should go off.
If the lamp remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
If MIL illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel ®lter. Drain water from
fuel ®lter.
ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM FUNCTION
The on board diagnostic system has the following three functions.
1. BULB CHECK : This function checks the MIL bulb for damage (blown, open circuit,
etc.).
2. MALFUNCTION
WARNING: This is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is detected, the
MIL will light up to inform the driver that a malfunction has been
detected.
3. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS: This function allows diagnostic trouble codes to be read.
Refer to ``HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODES'' on next page.

DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IÐBULB CHECK
In this mode, the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains
OFF, check the bulb. Refer to EL section (``WARNING LAMPS AND CHIME'') or see EC-188.
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IÐMALFUNCTION WARNING

INDICATOR LAMPCondition
ONWhen the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning. (Refer to ``MIL Illumination'' of the
``DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX'', EC-1.)
OFF No malfunction.
+These Diagnostic Trouble Code Numbers are clari®ed in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC
RESULTS).
DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE IIÐSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
In this mode, a diagnostic trouble code is indicated by the number of blinks of the MALFUNCTION INDICA-
TOR LAMP as shown below.
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the number of ten digits, and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the
number of single digits. For example, the malfunction indicator lamp blinks 4 times for 5 seconds (0.6 sec x
4 times) and then it blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC ``43''
and refers to the malfunction of the accelerator position sensor circuit.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classi®ed by their diagnostic trouble code numbers. The DTC
``55'' refers to no malfunction. (See DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODE INDEX, EC-1.)
HOW TO ERASE DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE II (Self-diagnostic results)
The diagnostic trouble code can be erased from the backup memory in the ECM when the diagnostic test mode
is changed from Diagnostic Test Mode II to Diagnostic Test Mode I. (Refer to ``HOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOS-
TIC TEST MODES'' on previous page.)
+If the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost from the backup
memory within 24 hours.
+Be careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.
+If the MIL blinks or ``NATS MALFUNCTION'' is displayed on
``SELF-DIAG RESULTS'' screen, perform self-diagnostic
results mode with CONSULT using NATS program card
(NATS-E940). Refer to EL section.
+Con®rm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ``ERASE'' in ``SELF-DIAG RESULTS'' mode
with CONSULT.
+When replacing ECM, initialisation of NATS V2.0 system
and registration of all NATS V2.0 ignition key IDs must be
carried out with CONSULT using NATS program card
(NATS-E940).
Therefore, be sure to receive all keys from vehicle owner.
Regarding the procedures of NATS initialisation and NATS
ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT operation
manual, NATS V2.0.
