2003 NISSAN X-TRAIL engine coolant

EC-78
[QR (WITH EURO-OBD)]
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS

When there is an open circuit on MI circuit, the ECM can not warn the driver by lighting up MI when there is
trouble on engine control system.
Therefore, when electrical controlled throttle and part of ECM related diagnoses are continuously detected as
NG for 5 trips, ECM warns the driver that engine control system has trouble and MI circuit is open by means of
operating fail-safe function.
The fail-safe function also operates when above diagnoses except MI circuit are detected and demands the
driver to repair the trouble.
P0117
P0118Engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor circuitEngine coolant temperature will be determined by ECM based on the time after turning
ignition switch ON or START.
CONSULT-II displays the engine coolant temperature decided by ECM.
ConditionEngine coolant temperature decided
(CONSULT-II display)
Just as ignition switch is turned ON or START 40°C (104°F)
More than approx. 4 minutes after ignition ON
or START80°C (176°F)
Except as shown above40 - 80°C (104 - 176°F)
(Depends on the time)
When the fail-safe system for engine coolant temperature sensor is activated, the cooling
fan operates while engine is running.

P2135Throttle position sensor The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in
order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees.
The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal
condition.
So, the acceleration will be poor.
P1121 Electric throttle control
actuator(When electric throttle control actuator does not function properly due to the return spring
malfunction:)
ECM controls the electric throttle actuator by regulating the throttle opening around the
idle position. The engine speed will not rise more than 2,000 rpm.
(When throttle valve opening angle in fail-safe mode is not in specified range:)
ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator by regulating the throttle opening to 20
degrees or less.
(ECM detect the throttle valve is stuck open:)
While the vehicle is driving, it slows down gradually by fuel cut. After the vehicle stops, the
engine stalls.
The engine can restart in N or P position, and engine speed will not exceed 1,000 rpm or
more.
P1122 Electric throttle control
functionECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a
fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.
P1124
P1126Throttle control motor relay ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a
fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.
P1128 Throttle control motor ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a
fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.
P1229 Sensor power supply ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a
fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.

sensorThe ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in
order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees.
The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal
condition.
So, the acceleration will be poor. DTC No. Detected items Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode

Basic InspectionEBS010LS
1. INSPECTION START
1. Check service records for any recent repairs that may indicate a related malfunction, or a current need for
scheduled maintenance.
2. Open engine hood and check the following:
–Harness connectors for improper connections
–Wiring harness for improper connections, pinches and cut
–Vacuum hoses for splits, kinks and improper connections
–Hoses and ducts for leaks
–Air cleaner clogging
–Gasket
3. Confirm that electrical or mechanical loads are not applied.
–Headlamp switch is OFF.
–Air conditioner switch is OFF.
–Rear window defogger switch is OFF.
–Steering wheel is in the straight-ahead position, etc.
4. Start engine and warm it up until engine coolant temperature
indicator points the middle of gauge.
Ensure engine stays below 1,000 rpm.
5. Run engine at about 2,000 rpm for about 2 minutes under no-
load.
6. Make sure that no DTC is displayed with CONSULT-II or GST.
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 3.
NG >> GO TO 2.

17. DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART
Check the following.

Check camshaft position sensor (PHASE) and circuit. Refer to EC-254 .

Check crankshaft position sensor (POS) and circuit. Refer to EC-247 .
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 18.
NG >> 1. Repair or replace.
2. GO TO 4.
18. CHECK ECM FUNCTION
1. Substitute another known-good ECM to check ECM function. (ECM may be the cause of an incident, but
this is a rare case.)
2. Perform initialization of NATS system and registration of all NATS ignition key IDs. Refer to EC-64, "
NATS
(Nissan Anti-theft System)" .

ENG SPEED [rpm]××

Indicates the engine speed computed from the
signals of the crankshaft position sensor
(POS) and camshaft position sensor (PHASE).

Accuracy becomes poor if engine
speed drops below the idle rpm.

If the signal is interrupted while the
engine is running, an abnormal
value may be indicated.

The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor
is displayed.
When the engine is stopped, a
certain value is indicated.
B/FUEL SCHDL
[msec]×

“Base fuel schedule” indicates the fuel injec-
tion pulse width programmed into ECM, prior
to any learned on board correction.
A/F ALPHA-B1 [%]×

The mean value of the air-fuel ratio feedback
correction factor per cycle is indicated.

When the engine is stopped, a
certain value is indicated.

This data also includes the data
for the air-fuel ratio learning con-
trol.
COOLAN TEMP/S
[°C] or [°F]××

The engine coolant temperature (determined
by the signal voltage of the engine coolant
temperature sensor) is displayed.

When the engine coolant tempera-
ture sensor is open or short-cir-
cuited, ECM enters fail-safe mode.
The engine coolant temperature
determined by the ECM is dis-
played.

The signal voltage of the heated oxygen sen-
sor 1 is displayed.
