7. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-497, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
Overall Function CheckNBS000AK
Use this procedure to check the overall function of the vehicle speed sensor circuit. During this check, a 1st
trip DTC might not be confirmed.
WITH GST
1. Lift up drive wheels.
2. Start engine.
3. Read vehicle speed sensor signal in Service $01 with GST.
The vehicle speed sensor on GST should be able to exceed 10 km/h (6 MPH) when rotating wheels with
suitable gear position.
4. If NG, go to EC-497, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
Diagnostic ProcedureNBS000AL
1. CHECK DTC WITH “VDC/TCS/ABS CONTROL UNIT (WITH VDC MODELS)” OR “ABS ACTUATOR
AND ELECTRIC UNIT (CONTROL UNIT) (WITHOUT VDC MODELS)”
Refer to BRC-82, "
TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS" (with VDC models) or refer to BRC-42, "TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS"
(without VDC models).
OK or NG
OK >> GO TO 2.
NG >> Repair or replace.
2. CHECK DTC WITH UNIFIED METER AND A/C AMP.

DTC P0506 ISC SYSTEM
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
DTC P0506 ISC SYSTEMPFP:23781
DescriptionNBS000AM
NOTE:
If DTC P0506 is displayed with other DTC, first perform the trouble diagnosis for the other DTC.
The ECM controls the engine idle speed to a specified level through the fine adjustment of the air, which is let
into the intake manifold, by operating the electric throttle control actuator. The operating of the throttle valve is
varied to allow for optimum control of the engine idling speed. The crankshaft position sensor (POS) detects
the actual engine speed and sends a signal to the ECM.
The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator so that the engine speed coincides with the target value
memorized in the ECM. The target engine speed is the lowest speed at which the engine can operate steadily.
The optimum value stored in the ECM is determined by taking into consideration various engine conditions,
such as during warming up, deceleration, and engine load (air conditioner, power steering and cooling fan
operation, etc.).
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS000AN
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS000AO
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.

If the target idle speed is out of the specified value, perform EC-77, "Idle Air Volume Learning" ,
before conducting DTC Confirmation Procedure. For the target idle speed, refer to EC-718, "
SER-
VICE DATA AND SPECIFICATIONS (SDS)" .
TESTING CONDITION:

Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 11V at idle.

Always perform the test at a temperature above −10°C (14°F).
WITH CONSULT-III
1. Open engine hood.
2. Start engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
3. Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
4. Restart engine and run it for at least 1 minute at idle speed.
5. Check 1st trip DTC.
6. If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to EC-498, "
Diagnostic Procedure" .
WITH GST
Follow the procedure “WITH CONSULT-III” above.
Diagnostic ProcedureNBS000AP
1. CHECK INTAKE AIR LEAK
1. Start engine and let it idle.
2. Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.

DTC P0550 PSP SENSOR
Revision: 2006 November2007 350Z
DTC P0550 PSP SENSORPFP:49763
Component DescriptionNBS000AU
Power steering pressure (PSP) sensor (1) is installed to the power
steering high-pressure tube and detects a power steering load. This
sensor is a potentiometer which transforms the power steering load
into output voltage, and emits the voltage signal to the ECM. The
ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator and adjusts the
throttle valve opening angle to increase the engine speed and
adjusts the idle speed for the increased load.
CONSULT-III Reference Value in Data Monitor ModeNBS000AV
Specification data are reference values.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBS000AW
The MIL will not light up for this self-diagnosis.
NOTE:
If DTC P0550 is displayed with DTC P0643, first perform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0643.
Refer to EC-514, "
DTC P0643 SENSOR POWER SUPPLY" .
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBS000AX
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.
