ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEMPFP:00028
IntroductionEBS011UJ
The ECM has an on board diagnostic system, which detects malfunctions related to engine sensors or actua-
tors. The ECM also records various emission-related diagnostic information including:
The above information can be checked using procedures listed in the table below.
×: Applicable —: Not applicable
The malfunction indicator (MI) on the instrument panel lights up when the same malfunction is detected in
three consecutive trips (Three trip detection logic).
Three Trip Detection Logic and One Trip Detection LogicEBS011UK
On board diagnosis (OBD) system of this vehicle has “Three Trip Detection Logic” and “One Trip Detection
Logic”. For which logic each self-diagnosis corresponds with, refer to EC-874, "
INDEX FOR DTC" .
“Trip” of “Three Trip Detection Logic” means a driving mode in which the self-diagnosis is performed while
driving.
THREE TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction is detected for the first time, 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM memory. MI does not illumi-
nate at this stage. <1st trip>
When the same malfunction is detected again during the next driving, 2nd trip DTC is stored in the ECM mem-
ory and 1st trip DTC is cleared from the ECM memory. MI does not illuminate at this stage. <2nd trip>
When the same malfunction is detected again at the third driving, DTC and Freeze Frame Data are stored in
the ECM memory and 2nd trip DTC is cleared from the ECM memory. MI illuminates at the same time when
DTC is stored. <3rd trip>
In other words, DTC and Freeze Frame Data are stored and MI illuminates when the same malfunction occurs
in 3 consecutive trips.
This is called “Three Trip Detection Logic”.
ONE TRIP DETECTION LOGIC
When a malfunction is detected for the first time, DTC and Freeze Frame Data are stored in the ECM memory
and MI lights up. This is called “One Trip Detection Logic”. Some self-diagnoses will not illuminate MI when
DTC is stored. (Refer to EC-892, "
Emission-related Diagnostic Information" .) 1st/2nd trip DTC is not stored for
one trip detection logic.

*1: 1st trip DTC No. and 2nd trip DTC No. are the same as DTC No.
*2: This number is prescribed by ISO 15031-6.
DTC AND 1ST/2ND TRIP DTC
The number of 1st/2nd trip DTC is the same as the number of DTC.
When a malfunction is detected during 1st trip, 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM memory. MI does not illumi-
nate at this time. When the same malfunction is detected in the next trip (2nd trip), 2nd trip DTC is stored in the
ECM memory and 1st trip DTC is cleared from the ECM memory. MI does not illuminate at this time. In addi-
tion, DTC is stored in the ECM memory and MI lights up when the same malfunction is detected during the fol-
lowing consecutive trip (3rd trip).
The procedure for erasing DTC, 1st trip DTC, and 2nd trip DTC from the ECM memory is described in EC-895,
"HOW TO ERASE EMISSION-RELATED DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION" .
For malfunctions in which 1st/2nd trip DTC are displayed, Refer to EC-892, "
Emission-related Diagnostic Infor-
mation" .
1st/2nd trip DTC is specified in Mode 7 of ISO15031-5. 1st/2nd trip DTC detection occurs without lighting up
MI and therefore does not warn the driver of a malfunction.
When 1st/2nd trip DTC is detected, check, print out or write down, and erase 1st/2nd trip DTC as specified
with step II of Work Flow, refer to EC-902, "
WORK FLOW" . Then perform DTC Confirmation Procedure or
Overall Function Check to try to duplicate the malfunction. If the malfunction is duplicated, it is necessary to
investigate the cause again.
How to Read DTC and 1st/2nd Trip DTC
DTC and 1st/2nd trip DTC can be read by the following procedures.

ON BOARD DIAGNOSTIC (OBD) SYSTEM

With GST
The emission related diagnostic information in the ECM can be erased by selecting MODE 4 with GST.
1. If the ignition switch stays ON after repair work, be sure to turn ignition switch OFF once. Wait at least 5
seconds and then turn it ON (engine stopped) again.
2. Select MODE 4 with GST (Generic Scan Tool).

If the battery is disconnected, the emission-related diagnostic information will be lost within 24
hours.

The following data are cleared when the ECM memory is erased.
–Diagnostic trouble codes
–1st trip diagnostic trouble codes
–2nd trip diagnostic trouble codes
–Freeze frame data
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.
NATS (Nissan Anti-theft System)EBS01177

If the security indicator lights up with the ignition switch in
the ON position or "NATS MALFUNCTION" is displayed on
"SELF-DIAG RESULTS" screen, perform self-diagnostic
results mode with CONSULT-II using NATS program card.
Refer to NATS (Nissan Anti-Theft System) in BL section.

Confirm no self-diagnostic results of NATS is displayed
before touching "ERASE" in "SELF-DAIG RESULTS" mode
with CONSULT-II.

When replacing ECM, initialization of NATS system and reg-
istration 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 initialization and NATS ignition key ID registration, refer to CON-
SULT-II operation manual, NATS.
Malfunction Indicator (MI)EBS01178
DESCRIPTION
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.

If the MI does not light up, refer to DI-33, "WARNING LAMPS"
or see EC-1202 .
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 Function
The on board diagnostic system has the following two functions.

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN MI, 1ST/2ND TRIP DTC, DTC, AND DETECTABLE ITEMS

When the malfunction is detected for the first time, 1st trip DTC is stored in the ECM memory.

When the same malfunction is detected during 2nd consecutive trip, 2nd trip DTC is stored and 1st trip
DTC is cleared.

When the same malfunction is detected during 3rd consecutive trip, DTC and Freeze Frame Data are
stored and MI illuminates. Refer to EC-892, "
Three Trip Detection Logic and One Trip Detection Logic" for
details.1st/2nd trip DTC are cleared from the ECM memory.

MI will go off after the vehicle is driven 3 consecutive times with no malfunction (driving pattern A).

1st/2nd trip DTC, DTC, and Freeze Frame Data will be stored until the vehicle is driven 41 times (driving
pattern B) without the same malfunction recurring. “TIME” data displayed in the “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”
mode of CONSULT-II shows the number of times the vehicle is driven without the same malfunction recur-
ring.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENT

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS FOR INTERMITTENT INCIDENTPFP:00006
DescriptionEBS0117J
Intermittent incidents (I/I) may occur. In many cases, the incident resolves itself (the part or circuit function
returns to normal without intervention). It is important to realize that the symptoms described in the customer's
complaint often do not recur on (1st/2nd trip) DTC visits. Realize also that the most frequent cause of I/I occur-
rences is poor electrical connections. Because of this, the conditions under which the incident occurred may
not be clear. Therefore, circuit checks made as part of the standard diagnostic procedure may not indicate the
specific malfunctioning area.
COMMON I/I REPORT SITUATIONS

Ground InspectionEBS011T6
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits. Ground
connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The corrosion (rust) can
become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground can drasti-
cally affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect the circuit. Even
when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:

Remove the ground bolt or screw.

Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.

Clean as required to assure good contact.

Reinstall bolt or screw securely.

Inspect for “add-on” accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.

If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure all of the
wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are cased in one
eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to “Ground Distribution” in PG section.
