2005 NISSAN X-TRAIL fuel level sensor

GI-6
PRECAUTIONS

CAUTION:

Do not use home heating oil, gasoline or other alternate fuels in your diesel engine. The use of
those can cause engine damage.

Do not use summer fuel at temperatures below –7°C (20°F). The cold temperatures will cause wax
to form in the fuel. As a result, it may prevent the engine from running smoothly.

Do not add gasoline or other alternate fuels to diesel fuel.
Precautions for Multiport Fuel Injection System or Engine Control SystemEAS000FT

Before connecting or disconnecting any harness connector for
the multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.

Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to
injectors, be sure to release fuel pressure.

Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air
flow sensor.
Precautions for Turbocharger (If Equipped)EAS000FU
The turbocharger turbine revolves at extremely high speeds and
becomes very hot. Therefore, it is essential to maintain a clean sup-
ply of oil flowing through the turbocharger and to follow all required
maintenance instructions and operating procedures.

Always use the recommended oil. Follow the instructions for
proper time to change the oil and proper oil level.

Avoid accelerating engine to a high rpm immediately after start-
ing.

If engine had been operating at high rpm for an extended period
of time, let it idle for a few minutes prior to shutting if off.
Precautions for HosesEAS000FV
HOSE REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

To prevent damage to rubber hose, do not pry off rubber hose
with tapered tool or screwdriver.

To reinstall the rubber hose securely, make sure that hose inser-
tion length and orientation is correct. (If tube is equipped with
hose stopper, insert rubber hose into tube until it butts up
against hose stopper.)

DTC P0138 HO2S2

DTC P0138 HO2S2PFP:226A0
Component DescriptionEBS010OL
The heated oxygen sensor 2, after three way catalyst (manifold),
monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust gas.
Even if switching characteristics of the heated oxygen sensor 1 are
shifted, the air-fuel ratio is controlled to stoichiometric, by the signal
from the heated oxygen sensor 2.
This sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates volt-
age from approximately 1V in richer conditions to 0V in leaner condi-
tions.
Under normal conditions the heated oxygen sensor 2 is not used for
engine control operation.
CONSULT-II Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeEBS010OM
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS010ON
The heated oxygen sensor 2 has a much longer switching time
between rich and lean than the heated oxygen sensor 1. The oxygen
storage capacity before the three way catalyst (manifold) causes the
longer switching time. To judge the malfunctions of heated oxygen
sensor 2, ECM monitors whether the voltage is unusually high during
the various driving condition such as fuel-cut.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureEBS010OO
CAUTION:
Always drive vehicle at a safe speed.
NOTE:
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.

DTC P0300 - P0304 MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE, NO. 1 - 4 CYLINDER MIS-
FIRE
PFP:00000
On Board Diagnosis LogicEBS010PJ
When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the crank-
shaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary, ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage)
On the first trip that a misfire condition occurs that can damage the three way catalyst (TWC) due to over-
heating, the MI will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor (POS) signal every 200 engine revo-
lutions for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MI will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC on a second trip, the MI will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not damage the TWC, the MI will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC, the MI will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration)
For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will affect vehicle emissions), the MI will only light
when the misfire is detected on a second trip. During this condition, the ECM monitors the CKP sensor
signal every 1,000 engine revolutions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or on multiple cylinders.

Always drive vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws when driv-
ing.
