1999 NISSAN PRIMERA battery

Together with the DTC, the SRT code is cleared from the ECM memory using the method described later
(Refer to EC-QG-44). In addition, after engine control components/system are repaired or if the battery termi-
nals remain disconnected for more than 24 hours, all SRT codes may be cleared from the ECM memory.
How to Display SRT CodeNCEC0031S03011.With CONSULT-II
Selecting ªSRT STATUSº in ªDTC CONFIRMATIONº mode with CONSULT-II.
For items whose SRT codes are set, a ªCMPLTº is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen; for items whose
SRT codes are not set, ªINCMPº is displayed as shown below.

How to Set SRT CodeNCEC0031S0302To set all SRT codes, self-diagnosis for the items indicated above must be performed one or more times. Each
diagnosis may require a long period of actual driving under various conditions. The most efficient driving pat-
tern in which SRT codes can be properly set is explained on the next page. The driving pattern should be
performed one or more times to set all SRT codes.

2. Select Mode 4 with GST (Generic Scan Tool).
The emission-related diagnostic information can be erased by selecting Mode 4 with GST (Generic Scan Tool).
How to Erase DTC (No Tools)NCEC0031S06031. 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. Change the diagnostic test mode from Mode II to Mode I by using the data link connector. (See EC-QG-
48.)
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-QG-48.)
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 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 ini-
tialization and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CONSULT-II operation manual, NATS.

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-QG-354.
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-II 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-QG-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.
