in the usual service procedure.
SELF-DIAG RESULTS MODE
Self Diagnostic Item
Regarding items of DTC and 1st trip DTC, refer to EC-98, "DTC Index".
How to Read DTC and 1st Trip DTC
DTCs and 1st trip DTCs related to the malfunction are displayed in “Self-diag results”.
 When ECM detects a 1st trip DTC, “1t” is displayed for “TIME”.
 When ECM has detected a current DTC, “0” is displayed for “TIME”.
 If “TIME” is neither “0” nor “1t”, the DTC occurred in the past and ECM shows the number of times the vehi-
cle has been driven since the last detection of the DTC.
How to Erase DTC and 1st Trip DTC
NOTE:
 If the ignition switch stays ON after repair work, be su re to turn ignition switch OFF once. Wait at least 10
seconds and then turn it ON (engine stopped) again.
 If the DTC is not for A/T related items (see EC-98, "
DTC Index"), skip step 1.
1. Erase DTC in TCM. Refer to TM-60, "
Diagnosis Description".
2. Select “ENGINE” with CONSULT-III.
3. Select “SELF-DIAG RESULTS”.
4. Touch “ERASE”. (DTC in ECM will be erased.)

*2: This number is prescribed by SAE J2012/ISO 15031-6.
*3: In Diagnostic Test
Mode II (Self-diagnostic results), this number is controlled by NISSAN.
*4: The troubleshooting for this DTC needs CONSULT-III.
*5: When the fail safe operations for both self-diagnoses occur, the MIL illuminates.
*6: When the ECM is in the mode that displays SRT status, MIL may blink. For the details, refer to “How to Display SRT Status”.
*7: When erasing this DTC, al ways use CONSULT-III or GST.
*8: SRT code will not be set if the self-diagnostic result is NG.
Test Value and Test LimitINFOID:0000000006217734
The following is the information specified in Service $06 of ISO 15031-5.
The test value is a parameter used to determine whether a system/circuit diagnostic test is OK or NG while
being monitored by the ECM during self-diagnosis. The test limit is a reference value which is specified as the
maximum or minimum value and is compared with the test value being monitored.
These data (test value and test limit) are specified by On Board Monitor ID (OBDMID), Test ID (TID), Unit and
Scaling ID and can be displayed on the GST screen.
The items of the test value and test limit will be di splayed with GST screen which items are provided by the
ECM. (e.g., if bank 2 is not applied on this v ehicle, only the items of bank 1 are displayed)

DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR WORKFLOW
1.GET INFORMATION FOR SYMPTOM
Get the detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when
the incident/malfunction occurred) using t he “Diagnostic Work Sheet”. (Refer to EC-138, "
Diagnostic Work
Sheet".)
>> GO TO 2.
2.CHECK DTC
1. Check DTC.
2. Perform the following procedure if DTC is displayed.
- Record DTC and freeze frame data. (Print them out with CONSULT-III or GST.)
- Erase DTC. (Refer to “How to Erase DTC and 1st Trip DTC” in EC-63, "
CONSULT-III Function" or
EC-60, "
On Board Diagnosis Function".)
- Study the relationship between the cause detected by DTC and the symptom described by the customer.
(Symptom Matrix Chart is useful. Refer to EC-524, "
Symptom Table".)
3. Check related service bulletins for information.
Are any symptoms described and any DTCs detected?
Symptom is described, DTC is detected>>GO TO 3.
Symptom is described, DTC is not detected>>GO TO 4.
Symptom is not described, DTC is detected>>GO TO 5.
3.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Try to confirm the symptom described by the customer (except MIL ON).
Also study the normal operation and fail-s afe related to the symptom. Refer to EC-529, "
Description" and EC-
93, "Fail-safe".
Diagnosis Work Sheet is useful to verify the incident.
Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 5.
4.CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM
Try to confirm the symptom described by the customer.
Also study the normal operation and fail-s afe related to the symptom. Refer to EC-529, "
Description" and EC-
93, "Fail-safe".
Diagnosis Work Sheet is useful to verify the incident.
Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.
>> GO TO 6.
5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
Perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE for the disp layed DTC, and then check that DTC is detected
again.
If two or more DTCs are detected, refer to EC-96, "
DTC Inspection Priority Chart" and determine trouble diag-
nosis order.
NOTE:
 Freeze frame data is useful if the DTC is not detected.
 Perform Component Function Check if DTC CONFIR MATION PROCEDURE is not included on Service
Manual. This simplified check procedure is an effect ive alternative though DTC cannot be detected during
this check.
If the result of Component Function Check is NG, it is the same as the detection of DTC by DTC CONFIR-
MATION PROCEDURE.
Is DTC detected?
YES >> GO TO 10.
NO >> Check according to GI-40, "
Intermittent Incident".
6.PERFORM BASIC INSPECTION
Perform EC-139, "
Work Procedure".

DescriptionINFOID:0000000006265593
OUTLINE
In order to set all SRTs, the self-diagnoses as in
the “SRT ITEM” table must have been performed at least
once. Each diagnosis may require actual driving for a long period of time under various conditions.
