Nissan Check Engine Light Codes & ECU Reset

Nissan Check Engine Light Codes
Welcome to the Nissan Check Engine Light codes page. Below you will find the most complete list of Nissan trouble
codes available. The code definitions are a good starting point when determining the cause of the service engine
light but where do you go from there? We have a large number of resources to help you repair the problem. Here
is how we suggest you proceed. Look up your code definition. This tells you where to start testing. If you are
unsure of any abbreviations, check out the acronym list by clicking on the link at the left.
Next, read our article Automotive Circuit Testing 101, and if there is an article related to the system you are
testing, such as Oxygen Sensors or EGR concerns, read these as well. They will provide valuable info! If there is a
link to a specific diagnosis strategy for the code then follow that and start testing. If there is no procedure for your
manufacturer specific code, then I suggest referring to a similar generic OBD II code (these are listed numerically
by system type) to get a good idea of what to look for.
If at this point you still need assistance use the "Get Help" link and let us know how we can help. We can provide
information on component location, specifications, circuit color/location and more. We do ask that you please
read the info available on the site first so that we can help reduce repeat questions. So please read our Disclaimer
and when you're ready jump in!
Also we value your feedback and like to hear stories of unusual fixes or concerns you may have run into with your
Check Engine Light, so feel free to share your experiences by using the "Contact Us" link. Let's go!
We do our best to update these Nissan check engine light codes as frequently as possible. If you find one missing
let us know and we we'll add it immediately! Please use the form on our Contact Page to get in touch with us. We
certainly understand how frustrating it can be to look for a code definition and have it not online when you need it.
And lets face it, if the service engine light is on then you need it now! It's easiest to use the "Find On This Page"
feature of your browser's "Edit" menu to find codes on this page as the list is quite long. These are listed in
numerical order for easy searching.
When retrieving Nissan check engine light codes with an OBD II scan tool, proceed as follows:
1. Connect scan tool to the 16-pin data link connector (DLC) located underneath the steering column. The
connector may have a removable cover.
2. Turn the ignition on.
3. Follow scan tool manufacturer's operating instructions to access the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC's).
Nissan Navara, X-Trail - Fuel Pump ECU Reset
Applicable References: ADT36846C, ADN12310, ADN12322, ADN12331
Applications: Nissan Navara D40 2.5 2005>, X-Trail 2.2 2001>2003
Date Issued: 03/2013
After working on the fuel system of a Nissan dCi engine it is recommended that
you perform a Fuel Pump ECU reset & learn cycle.
Timing of these steps is critical so do use a watch/stopwatch.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Warm the engine up to operating temperature and then switch off everything
electrical
followed by the engine.
2. Keep the doors shut.
3. Turn on the ignition so that all the dash warning lights come on.
4. Wait 3 seconds.
5. Now pump the accelerator pedal 5 times within 5 seconds.
6. With your foot now OFF the accelerator wait 7 seconds.
7. After 7 seconds Press and Hold the accelerator pedal down for 10 seconds.
8. After 10 seconds the Engine Management Light (EML) will start to flash.
9. Remove your foot from the accelerator - the vehicle is now in ‘Diag’ mode.
10. Press and Hold the accelerator pedal down for another 10 seconds.
The EML light will now start flashing faster, indicating that the ECU is in learning
mode.
NOTE: The flashing EML light will now list any fault codes found. 10 fast flashes
followed by 3 sets of 10 slow flashes means no fault stored. Anything else means
you have fault codes that need investigating.
11. Now in learning mode, take the vehicle for a 5-10 minute steady drive using all
the gears and a variety of throttle openings.
12. Once completed, turn the engine off and the ECU is now fully reset.
Remember, these are manufacturer specific codes only. Refer to our Generic OBD II code list for definitions on all
other Nissan diagnostic trouble codes.

The local network of wiring, sensors, controllers, chips and other various bits of silicon in the Altima is apparently
vastly complicated, so I won't bore you (or me) by addressing it in detail here. However, one thing I found
interesting is that the MIL shines only under two conditions:
1) If the ECM detects what Nissan considers a "serious" fault (such as a misfire), the MIL illuminates immediately
and the ECM stores a trouble code.
2) If, however, the ECM senses a less serious problem, such as a vacuum leak, the MIL does not illuminate
immediately. Instead, the ECM stores an identifying trouble code and waits to see if the same fault arises during
the next trip cycle, which roughly corresponds to the next time you hop in the car and drive it around after turning
it off. If the ECM senses the same fault, it trips the MIL light and you get to wade into the ECM or make the always-
entertaining trip to your local dealer.
Your dealer uses a scan tool called a Consult to interface with the ECM directly. However, shadetree mechanics can
manually pull the trouble code(s) from the ECM and, if desired, clear the code from memory, thus putting out the
Check Engine Light, which incidentally shines like the fires of Hades at night against the dimmed gauge cluster.
To check the fault code yourself from the comfort of your own garage, put the ECM in "Diagnostic Test Mode II" by
doing the following:
1) Sit your butt in the driver's seat.

2) Turn the ignition key to the ON position and wait three seconds. (Do not start the car.)
3) Fully depress and release the accelerator pedal five times in less than five seconds. (If you've got bad ankles,
give up now and drive the car to the dealer.)
4) Wait exactly seven seconds. Fully depress the accelerator pedal and hold it down for about ten seconds until the
MIL light begins flashing.
5) Release the accelerator pedal and start counting flashes to obtain the four-digit trouble code. Long flashes (0.6
seconds) indicate the first digit of the code; count the blinks one through nine and write down the first digit. (Ten
blinks indicates a zero.) The next three digits follow in turn in the same fashion except with faster blinks (0.3
second) and a 1.0-second pause between digits.
The ECM code repeats intself until you turn the ignition key to the OFF position, at which point the ECM resets
itself to standard get-in-and-drive-the-car mode. You can look up the trouble codes in the ESM/FSM; there's a
bunch of them. In the ESM, refer to page EC-639. Additionally, if you get four blinks of ten (0000), the ECM is
indicating no malfunction.
You can clear the code (and the annoying MIL) by holding down the accelerator pedal for more than 10 seconds
while in Diagnostic Test Mode II. When you release the pedal, the ECM erases the trouble code(s).
In my case, my trouble code was 0442 - "Evaporative System Small Leak" - discussed on page EC-973. This could
indicate anything from a poorly sealed gas gap to a leak in the evaporative recovery system underneath the car. I
checked everything I could and decided to clear the code, thinking that maybe a slightly loose gas cap might've
been the culprit. It apparently was, as the MIL hasn't shined since.
This is exactly the kind of problem that I hate -- hate -- having dealer monkeys diagnose, as it takes hours and
hours for them to dirty up the inside of my car, change all my radio presets, go through my trunk and glovebox and
grease up the doorhandles and hood before they wander over and say, "Well, it's fine now." Noooo thank you.
One other interesting bit (well, I thought it was mildly entertaining at least) I ran across while poring through the
OBD section was that the ECM often changes engine behavior when it senses a fault. We've all seen the posts from
folks whose engines wouldn't rev past 2400 rpm, for example, and seen them report the bad news their dealers
had provided: The MAF gave up the ghost.
Well, that may well be the case, but the fact that the engine wouldn't rev past 2400 rpm is not because the MAF
died. It's instead because the ECM sensed a two-trip MAF failure, illuminating the MIL and storing an MAF trouble
code. When this fault is detected, the ECM limits engine rpm to 2400 as a "limp home" or self-preservation tool.
This is all well and good, but it doesn't necessarily mean the MAF is dead; it simply means that the ECM thinks
the MAF is bad. Bringing the car home, yanking the trouble code and clearing it will restore full engine operation
until the ECM senses MAF failure again twice. And as anyone who works with computers or other electronic
gadges knows, the more complicated the machine the more prone it often is to freak out occasionally with neither
rhyme nor reason. Clearing out the code once before taking the car to the dealer and having him take the ECM's
word as God's own before presenting you with an $800 bill for a new MAF in this case may well protect your
checkbook and your sanity.
