item*Description
Monitored item [Unit] Description Remarks
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.
MAS A/F SE-B1 [V]

The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor is dis-
played.

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

When engine is running specification range is
indicated in “SPEC”. MAS A/F SE-B2 [V]
B/FUEL SCHDL [msec]

“Base fuel schedule” indicates the fuel injection pulse
width programmed into ECM, prior to any learned on
board correction.
When engine is running specification range is
indicated in “SPEC”.
A/F ALPHA-B1 [%]

The mean value of the air-fuel ratio feedback correc-
tion 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 control.

When engine is running specification range is
indicated in “SPEC”. A/F ALPHA-B2 [%]
COOLAN TEMP/S [°C]
or [°F]

The engine coolant temperature (determined by the
signal voltage of the engine coolant temperature sen-
sor) is displayed.
When the engine coolant temperature sensor
is open or short-circuited, ECM enters fail-safe
mode. The engine coolant temperature deter-
mined by the ECM is displayed.
A/F SEN1 (B1) [V]

The A/F signal computed from the input signal of the
A/F sensor 1 is displayed.
A/F SEN1 (B2) [V]
HO2S2 (B1) [V]

The signal voltage of the heated oxygen sensor 2 is
displayed.
HO2S2 (B2) [V]
HO2S2 MNTR(B1)
[RICH/LEAN]

Display of heated oxygen sensor 2 signal:
RICH: Means the amount of oxygen after three way
catalyst is relatively small.
LEAN: Means the amount of oxygen after three way
catalyst is relatively large.

When the engine is stopped, a certain value is
indicated.
HO2S2 MNTR(B2)
[RICH/LEAN]
VHCL SPEED SE [km/
h] or [mph]

The vehicle speed computed from the vehicle speed
signal sent from combination meter is displayed.
BATTERY VOLT [V]

The power supply voltage of ECM is displayed.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUE
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS - SPECIFICATION VALUEPFP:00031
DescriptionNBS0003R
The specification (SP) value indicates the tolerance of the value that is displayed in “SPEC” in “DATA MONI-
TOR” mode of CONSULT-III during normal operation of the Engine Control System. When the value in “SPEC”
in “DATA MONITOR” mode is within the SP value, the Engine Control System is confirmed OK. When the
value in “SPEC” in “DATA MONITOR” mode is NOT within the SP value, the Engine Control System may have
one or more malfunctions.
The SP value is used to detect malfunctions that may affect the Engine Control System, but will not light the
MIL.
The SP value will be displayed for the following three items:

B/FUEL SCHDL (The fuel injection pulse width programmed into ECM prior to any learned on board cor-
rection)

A/F ALPHA-B1/B2 (The mean value of air-fuel ratio feedback correction factor per cycle)

MAS A/F SE-B1/B2 (The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor)
Testing ConditionNBS0003S

Vehicle driven distance: More than 5,000 km (3,107 miles)

Barometric pressure: 98.3 - 104.3 kPa (1.003 - 1.064 kg/cm2 , 14.25 - 15.12 psi)

Atmospheric temperature: 20 - 30°C (68 - 86°F)

Engine coolant temperature: 75 - 95°C (167 - 203°F)

Transmission: Warmed-up
–For A/T models: After the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperature, drive vehicle until “ATF
TEMP 1” (A/T fluid temperature sensor signal) indicates more than 60°C (140°F).
–For M/T models: After the engine is warmed up to normal operating temperature, drive vehicle for 5 min-
utes.

Electrical load: Not applied
–Rear window defogger switch, air conditioner switch, lighting switch are OFF. Steering wheel is straight
ahead.

Engine speed: Idle
Inspection ProcedureNBS0003T
NOTE:
Perform “SPEC” in “DATA MONITOR” mode in maximum scale display.
1. Perform EC-71, "
Basic Inspection" .
2. Confirm that the testing conditions indicated above are met.
3. Select “B/FUEL SCHDL”, “A/F ALPHA-B1”, “A/F ALPHA-B2”, “MAS A/F SE-B1” and “MAS A/F SE-B2” in
“SPEC” of ”DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
4. Make sure that monitor items are within the SP value.
5. If NG, go to EC-133, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .

Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
DTC P0011, P0021 IVT CONTROLPFP:23796
DescriptionNBS00045
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
*: This signal is sent to the ECM through CAN Communication line
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of the intake
valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and engine coolant
temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve timing control solenoid
valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the shut/open timing of the intake valve to
increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in high-speed range.

When the malfunction is detected, the ECM enters fail-safe mode.
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS00048
CAUTION:
Always drive at a safe speed.
NOTE:

If DTC P0011 or P0021 is displayed with DTC P0075 or P0081, first perform trouble diagnosis for
DTC P0075 or P0081. Refer to EC-183, "
DTC P0075, P0081 IVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE" .

If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conducted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait
at least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is between 10V and 16V at
idle.
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Turn ignition switch ON and select “DATA MONITOR” mode with CONSULT-III.
2. Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
3. Maintain the following conditions for at least 6 consecutive seconds.
Hold the accelerator pedal as steady as possible.
4. Let engine idle for 10 seconds.
5. Check 1st trip DTC.
6. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-158, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
If 1st trip DTC is not detected, go to next step.
7. Maintain the following conditions for at least 20 consecutive seconds.
8. Check 1st trip DTC.
9. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-158, "
