How to Erase DTC (No Tools)NCEC0031S0603NOTE:
If the diagnostic trouble code is not for CVT related items (see EC-SR-6), skip step 2.
1. If the ignition switch stays ªONº after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch ªOFFº once. Wait at least
9 seconds and then turn it ªONº again.
2. Perform ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (Without CONSULT-II)º in AT section titled ªTROUBLE
DIAGNOSISº, ªSelf-diagnosisº. (The engine warm-up step can be skipped when performing the diagnosis
only to erase the DTC.)
3. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See EC-SR-
61.)
The emission-related diagnostic information can be erased by changing the diagnostic test mode from Diag-
nostic Test Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (Refer to EC-SR-61.)
NOTE:
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 or GST is easier and
quicker than switching the mode using the data link connector.
IThe following data are cleared when the ECM memory is erased.
1) Diagnostic trouble codes
2) 1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
3) Freeze frame data
4) 1st trip freeze frame data
5) System readiness test (SRT) codes
6) Test values
7) Distance traveled while MI is activated
8) Others
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.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)
NATS (NISSAN ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM)
IIf the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch in the ªONº position or ªNATS MALFUNC-
TIONº is displayed on ªSELF-DIAG RESULTSº screen, perform self-diagnostic results mode with
CONSULT-II using NATS program card. Refer to NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) 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 procedure of NATS initil-
ialization and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual, NATS.

DESCRIPTIONNCEC0032
The MI is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MI will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
IIf the MI does not light up, refer to EL section (ªWARNING LAMPSº) or see EC-SR-329.
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.
On Board Diagnostic System FunctionNCEC0032S01The on board diagnostic system has the following four functions.
Diagnostic Test Mode I
1. BULB CHECK:
This function checks the MI bulb for damage (blown, open circuit, etc.).
If the MI does not come on, check MI circuit and ECM test mode selector. (See the following page.)
2. MALFUNCTION WARNING:
This is a usual driving condition. When a malfunction is detected twice in two consecutive driving cycles
(two trip detection logic), the MI will light up to inform the driver that a malfunction has been detected.
The following malfunctions will light up or blink the MI in the 1st trip.
IªMisfire (Possible three way catalyst damage)º
IªClosed loop controlº
IFail-safe mode
Diagnostic Test Mode II
3. SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS:
This function allows DTCs and 1st trip DTCs to be read.
4. HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR 1 (FRONT) MONITOR:
This function allows the fuel mixture condition (lean or rich), monitored by heated oxygen sensor 1 (front),
to be read.
MI Flashing without DTC
NCEC0032S0101If the ECM is in Diagnostic Test Mode II, MI may flash when engine is running. In this case, check ECM test
mode following ªHOW TO SWITCH DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODESº.
How to switch the diagnostic test (function) modes, and details of the above functions are described later.
(Refer to EC-SR-61.)

NISSAN PRIMERA 1999 Electronic Repair Manual Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Bulb CheckNCEC0032S03In this mode, the MI on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the MI bulb. Refer to
EL section (ªWARNING LAMPSº) or see EC-SR-3

Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Bulb CheckNCEC0032S03In this mode, the MI on the instrument panel should stay ON. If it remains OFF, check the MI bulb. Refer to
EL section (ªWARNING LAMPSº) or see EC-SR-329.
Diagnostic Test Mode I Ð Malfunction WarningNCEC0032S04
MI Condition
ON When the malfunction is detected or the ECM's CPU is malfunctioning.
OFF No malfunction.
IThese DTC numbers are clarified in Diagnostic Test Mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS).
Diagnostic Test Mode II Ð Self-diagnostic ResultsNCEC0032S05In this mode, the DTC and 1st trip DTC are indicated by the number of blinks of the MI.
The DTC and 1st trip DTC are displayed at the same time. If the MI does not illuminate in diagnostic test mode
I (Malfunction warning), all displayed items are 1st trip DTCs. If only one code is displayed when the MI illu-
minates in diagnostic test mode II (SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS), it is a DTC; if two or more codes are
displayed, they may be either DTCs or 1st trip DTCs. DTC No. is same as that of 1st trip DTC. These uni-
dentified codes can be identified by using the CONSULT or GST. A DTC will be used as an example for how
to read a code.
A particular trouble code can be identified by the number of four-digit numeral flashes. The ªzeroº is indicated
by the number of ten flashes. The length of time the 1000th-digit numeral flashes on and off is 1.2 seconds
consisting of an ON (0.6-second)-OFF (0.6-second) cycle.
The 100th-digit numeral and lower digit numerals consist of a 0.3-second ON and 0.3-second OFF cycle.
A change from one digit numeral to another occurs at an interval of 1.0 second OFF. In other words, the lat-
ter numeral appears on the display 1.3 seconds after the former numeral has disappeared.
A change from one trouble code to another occurs at an interval of 1.8 second off.
In this way, all the detected malfunctions are classified by their DTC numbers. The DTC ª0000º refers to no
malfunction. (See TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS Ð INDEX, EC-SR-6.)
How to Erase Diagnostic Test Mode II (Self-diagnostic results)
NCEC0032S0501The 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.)
IIf the battery is disconnected, the DTC will be lost from the backup memory after approx. 24 hours.
IBe careful not to erase the stored memory before starting trouble diagnoses.

To check the heated oxygen sensor 1 (front) function, start engine in the Diagnostic Test Mode II and warm
it up until engine coolant temperature indicator points to the middle of the gauge.
Next run engine at about 2,000 rpm for about 2 minutes under no-load conditions. Then make sure that the
MI comes ON more than 5 times within 10 seconds with engine running at 2,000 rpm under no-load.
OBD System Operation ChartNCEC0033RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MI, 1ST TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMSNCEC0033S01IWhen a malfunction is detected for the first time, the 1st trip DTC and the 1st trip freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory.
IWhen the same malfunction is detected in two consecutive trips, the DTC and the freeze frame data are
stored in the ECM memory, and the MI will come on. For details, refer to ªTwo Trip Detection Logicº on
EC-SR-48.
IThe MI will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 times with no malfunction. The drive is counted only when
the recorded driving pattern is met (as stored in the ECM). If another malfunction occurs while counting,
the counter will reset.
IThe DTC and the freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 40 times (driving pattern A)
without the same malfunction recurring (except for Misfire and Fuel Injection System). For Misfire and Fuel
Injection System, the DTC and freeze frame data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 80 times (driv-
ing pattern C) without the same malfunction recurring. The ªTIMEº in ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTSº
mode of CONSULT-II will count the number of times the vehicle is driven.
IThe 1st trip DTC is not displayed when the self-diagnosis results in ªOKº for the 2nd trip.
