1999 NISSAN PRIMERA engine coolant

If a 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM, the time data will be ª1tº.
Freeze Frame Data and 1st Trip Freeze Frame DataNCAT0020S0101The ECM has a memory function, which stores the driving condition such as fuel system status, calculated
load value, engine coolant temperature, short term fuel trim, long term fuel trim, engine speed and vehicle
speed at the moment the ECM detects a malfunction.
Data which are stored in the ECM memory, along with the 1st trip DTC, are called 1st trip freeze frame data,
and the data, stored together with the DTC data, are called freeze frame data and displayed on CONSULT-II
or GST. The 1st trip freeze frame data can only be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, not on the GST. For
detail, refer to EC section (ªCONSULT-IIº, ªON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM DESCRIPTIONº).
Only one set of freeze frame data (either 1st trip freeze frame data of freeze frame data) can be stored in the
ECM. 1st trip freeze frame data is stored in the ECM memory along with the 1st trip DTC. There is no prior-
ity for 1st trip freeze frame data and it is updated each time a different 1st trip DTC is detected. However, once
freeze frame data (2nd trip detection/MI on) is stored in the ECM memory, 1st trip freeze frame data is no
longer stored. Remember, only one set of freeze frame data can be stored in the ECM.
The ECM has the following priorities to update the data.
Prior-
ityItems
1 Freeze frame data Misfire Ð DTC: P0300 - P0306 (0300 - 0306)
Fuel Injection System Function Ð DTC: P0171 (0171), P0172 (0172), P0174 (0174), P0175
(0175)
2 Except the above items (Includes CVT related items)
3 1st trip freeze frame data
Both 1st trip freeze frame data and freeze frame data (along with the DTCs) are cleared when the ECM
memory is erased.
HOW TO ERASE DTCNCAT0020S02The diagnostic trouble code can be erased by CONSULT-II, GST or ECM DIAGNOSTIC TEST MODE as
described following.
IIf the battery terminal is disconnected, the diagnostic trouble code will be lost within 24 hours.
IWhen you erase the DTC, using CONSULT-II or GST is easier and quicker than switching the mode
selector on the ECM.

When coolant temperature is lower than 75ÉC (167ÉF):
lIgnition switch ON
After the ignition switch has been turned to ON, the glow
relay turns ON for a period of time depending on the engine
coolant temperature, allowing current to flow through the
glow plugs.
lStarting
After starting the engine, current will flow through the glow
plugs for 300 seconds, or until the coolant temperature
exceeds 50ÉC (122ÉF).
Fuel Injection System
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Three types of fuel injection control are provided to accommodate the engine operating conditions; normal
control, idle control and start control. The ECM determines the appropriate fuel injection control. Under each
control, the amount of fuel injected is compensated to improve engine performance. The ECM performs duty
cycle control on the electric governor (built into the fuel injection pump) according to sensor signals to com-
pensate the amount of fuel injected to the preset value.

When starting, the ECM adapts the fuel injection system for the
start control. The amount of fuel injected at engine starting is a
preset program value in the ECM. The program is determined by
the engine speed and engine coolant temperature.
For better startability under cool engine conditions, the lower the
coolant temperature becomes, the greater the amount of fuel
injected. The ECM ends the start control when the engine speed
reaches a coolant temperature dependent value.

EVehicle speed
When the ECM determines that the engine speed is at idle, the fuel injection system is adapted for the idle
control. The ECM regulates the amount of fuel injected corresponding to changes in load applied to the
engine to keep engine speed constant. During the first 270s after a cold start, the ECM also provides the
system with a fast idle control in response to the engine coolant temperature.

The amount of fuel injected under normal driving conditions is
determined according to sensor signals. The crankshaft position
sensor (TDC) detects engine speed and the accelerator position
sensor detects accelerator position. These sensors send signals
to the ECM.
The fuel injection data, predetermined by correlation between
various engine speeds and accelerator positions, are stored in
the ECM memory, forming a map. The ECM determines the
optimal amount of fuel to be injected using the sensor signals in
comparison with the map.

Fuel Injection Timing System
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The fuel injection timing system determines the optimal fuel injection timing, based on engine speed, injec-
tion quantity, engine coolant temperature and atmospheric pressure. The timing is formed by a basic value
(Basic Control) and two correction values. By performing a duty cycle signal on the timing control valve, the
ECM allows the valve to provide optimal injection timing. The ECM also performs feedback control on the
timing control valve using the signal from the needle lift sensor which detects the actual fuel injection tim-
ing.
