Fail-Safe Mode
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Xterra and 2002 Nissan Frontier. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
When malfunction "A" is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode and MIL illuminates. ECM will determine throttle position based on injected fuel amount and engine speed. Therefore, acceleration will be poor.
NOTE:
Perform the following DTC confirmation tests in order. If a DTC confirmation test has been previously performed, turn ignition off and wait at least 5 seconds before performing next DTC confirmation test.
