Fuel Injection Timing Control System
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 and the injection pump control unit exchange signals and per-
form feedback control for optimum injection timing in accordance with the map.

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 2,700 rpm with no load (for example, in neutral and engine speed over 2,700
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 operate until the engine speed reaches 1,500 rpm, then fuel cut is cancelled.
NOTE:
This function is different from deceleration control listed under ªFuel Injection Control Systemº, EC-20.

DESCRIPTION
In this system, blow-by gas is sucked into the air inlet pipe after oil
separation by oil separator in the rocker cover.
INSPECTION
Ventilation hose
1. Check hoses and hose connections for leaks.
2. Disconnect all hoses and clean with compressed air. If any
hose cannot be freed of obstructions, replace.

DTC and MI Detection Logic
When a malfunction is detected, the malfunction (DTC) is 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 to ªTROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEXº, EC-7.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC)
HOW TO READ DTC
The DTC can be read by the following methods.
Without CONSULT-II
ECM displays the DTC by a set of four digit numbers with MI illumination in the diagnostic test mode II (Self-
diagnostic results). Example: 0102, 0407, 1004, etc.
With CONSULT-II
CONSULT-II displays the DTC in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode. Examples: ªCRANK POS SEN (TDC)º, etc.
IOutput 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-II can identify them. Therefore, using CONSULT-II (if available) is recommended.
HOW TO ERASE DTC
How to erase DTC (
With CONSULT-II)
1. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Touch ªENGINEº.
3. Touch ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº.
4. Touch ªERASEº. (The DTC in the ECM will be erased.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting ªERASEº in the ªSELF-
DIAG RESULTSº mode with CONSULT-II.
How to erase DTC (Without CONSULT-II)
1. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
5 seconds and then turn it ªONº (engine stopped) again.
2. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See EC-36.)
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode.

IIf the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost after approx.
24 hours.
IErasing 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)
IIf the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch in
the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNCTIONº is displayed
on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-diagnostic
results mode with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Refer to ªNATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System)º in EL section.
IConfirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching ªERASEº in ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº mode
with CONSULT-II.
IWhen 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 CONSULT-II operation
manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
DESCRIPTION
The MI is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON with-
out the engine running. This is a bulb check.
IIf the MI does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING
LAMPS AND CHIMEº) or see EC-291.
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.
If MI illuminates or blinks irregularly after starting engine,
water may have accumulated in fuel filter. Drain water from
fuel filter. Refer to MA section.

BULB CHECK This function checks the MI bulb for damage
(blown, open circuit, etc.).
If the MI does not come on, check MI circuit.

WARNINGThis is a usual driving condition. When ECM
detects a malfunction, the MI will light up to
inform the driver that a malfunction has been
detected.

Diagnostic test mode I Ð Bulb check
In this mode, the MI on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the bulb. Refer to EL
section, ªWARNING LAMPS AND CHIMEº or see EC-291.
Diagnostic test mode I Ð Malfunction warning
MI Condition
ON When the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction.
Diagnostic test mode II Ð Self-diagnostic results
In this mode, DTC is indicated by the number of blinks of the MI as shown below.
Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the two LH digits of number and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the
two RH digits of number. For example, the MI blinks 10 times for 6 seconds (0.6 sec x 10 times) and then it
blinks three times for about 1 second (0.3 sec x 3 times). This indicates the DTC ª1003º.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their DTC numbers. The DTC ª0505º refers to no
malfunction. (See TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEX, EC-7.)
How to erase diagnostic test mode II (Self-diagnostic results)
The DTC 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 ªHow to Switch Diagnostic Test Modesº, EC-36.)
IIf the battery terminal is disconnected, the DTC will be lost from the backup memory within 24
hours.
IBe careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.

for the first time, the DTC will be
stored in ECM.*4: The DTC will not be displayed any
longer after vehicle is driven 40
