On Board Diagnosis Logic
EC-3244

On Board Diagnosis LogicNEEC0202When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the CKP
sensor signal to vary, the ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
Sensor Input Signal to ECM ECM function
Crankshaft position sensor (OBD) Engine speed On board diagnosis of misfire
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage)
On the first trip that a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to
overheating, the MI will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions
for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MI will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC on a second trip, the MI will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MI will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MI will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration)
For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MI will only light
when the misfire is detected on a second trip. During this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor
signal every 1,000 engine revolutions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders.

4) Drive the vehicle for at least 5 consecutive seconds under the
following condition.
THRTL POS SEN More than 2.5V
VHCL SPEED SE More than 4 km/h (2 MPH)

1) Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
2) Check the voltage between ECM terminal 28 (Closed throttle
position switch signal) and ground under the following condi-
tions.

+Erasing the emission-related diagnostic information using CONSULT-II is easier and quicker than
switching the diagnostic test mode using the data link connector.
NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)
+If the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch
in the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNCTIONº is dis-
played on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-
diagnostic results mode with CONSULT-II using NATS
program card. Refer to ªNATS (Nissan Anti-Theft Sys-
tem)º in EL section.
+Confirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ªERASEº in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº
mode with CONSULT-II.
+When replacing ECM, initialization of NATS system and
registration 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 procedures of NATS initialization
and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CON-
SULT-II operation manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
DESCRIPTION
The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON
without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
+If the MIL does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING
LAMPS AND CHIMEº) or see EC-3647.
2. When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction.
Fuel filter switch is equipped except for Europe.
If MIL illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water from
fuel filter. Refer to EC-3426.
