1999 NISSAN PRIMERA air condition

Basic Inspection
Precaution:
Perform Basic Inspection without electrical or mechanical
loads applied;
lHeadlamp switch is off,
lAir Conditioner switch is off,
lRear defogger switch is off,
lSteering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
BEFORE STARTING
1. Check service records for any
recent repairs that may indicate a
related problem, or the current need
for scheduled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the
following:
lHarness connectors for faulty con-
nections
lVacuum hoses for splits, kinks, or
faulty connections
lWiring for faulty connections,
pinches, or cuts
3. Using priming pump, bleed air from
fuel system. Refer to ªFuel Filter
Checkº in MA section.
CONNECT CONSULT-II TO THE
VEHICLE.
Connect ªCONSULT-IIº to the data link
connector for CONSULT-II and select
ªENGINEº from the menu. Refer to EC-
CD-27.
DOES ENGINE START?
Ye s
ENo
Turn ignition switch to
the ªLOCKº position, wait
5 seconds and then start
engine. If engine fails to
start, check malfunction
item.
Run engine for 10 minutes.
CHECK IDLE SPEED.
Read engine idle speed in
ªDATA MONITORº mode with
CONSULT-II.
825 rpm   25 (in N position)
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------OR---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Check idle speed using tachom-
eter tester.

Abbreviations for Quick Reference of ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº
IGN: ON : Turning the ignition switch ON is required for checking the function of the sensor, switch, solenoid and circuit.
RUNNING : Running engine is required for checking the function of the sensor, switch, solenoid and circuit.
LIFTING : Lifting up the vehicle, running engine and spinning wheels are required.
DRIVING : Driving the vehicle in the specified pattern is required.
Abbreviations for Quick Reference of ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº
IGN: ON : Turning the ignition switch ON is required for the ECM to detect a malfunction (if one exists).
RUNNING : Running engine is required for the ECM to detect a malfunction (if one exists).
LIFTING : Lifting up the vehicle, running engine and spinning wheels are required for the ECM to detect a malfunction (if one
exists).

*1:lThis is Quick Reference of ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CONFIRMATION PROCEDUREº.
Details are described in each specific TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS.
*2:
lThe ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº is a simplified and effective way to inspect a component or circuit.
In some cases, the ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº is used rather than a ªDIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CONFIRMATION PRO-
CEDUREº.
When no DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE is available, the ªNGº result of the OVERALL FUNCTION
CHECK can be considered to mean the same as a malfunction item detection.
lDuring an ªNGº OVERALL FUNCTION CHECK, the malfunction item might not be confirmed.lThis is Quick Reference of ªOVERALL FUNCTION CHECKº.
Details are described in each specific TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS.
*3: CONSULT-II may not detect, but self-diagnostic results are available with MI.
*4: Imaginary sensor, which produces secondary engine revolution signal using needle lift sensor pulse.
*5: The atmospheric pressure sensor is located inside the ECM and is not replaceable.
