DTC Confirmation Test (Using Generic Scan Tool)
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.
NOTE:
Use the following test to check overall EGR function. During this test, 1st trip DTC may not be confirmed.
- Start engine and warm to normal operating temperature. Disconnect EGRC solenoid valve harness connector, then check for EGR valve opening while quickly increasing engine speed to 2000-4000 RPM. EGR valve should open and close without sticking.NOTE: Disconnecting EGRC solenoid valve will cause DTC P1400 to set. Disregard
- If operation is not as specified, go to DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE . If operation is as specified, go to next step.
- Measure voltage between ground and ECM terminal No. 63 (EGR temperature sensor signal) by backprobing at idle speed. See Figure . See Figure or Figure . Voltage should be less than 4.5 volts. If voltage is as specified, system is okay at this time. If voltage is not as specified, go to next step.
- Check continuity of Black/White wire between EGR temperature sensor harness connector terminal No. 2 and ECM harness connector terminal No. 43. Continuity should exist. If problem is found, repair as necessary. If problem is not found, go to next step.
- Check EGR temperature sensor.
