Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2005 Nissan 350Z. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK STARTING SYSTEM 

    Turn ignition switch to START position.

    • Does the engine turn over? 
    • Does the starter motor operate? 

    Yes or No

  2. CHECK GROUND CONNECTIONS 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Loosen and retighten three ground screws on the body. Refer to "GROUND INSPECTION ".

  7. CHECK CMP SENSOR (PHASE) INPUT SIGNAL CIRCUIT FOR OPEN AND SHORT 
    1. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    2. Check harness continuity between ECM terminal 33 (Bank 1) or 14 (Bank 2) and CMP sensor (PHASE) terminal 2.

      Refer to WIRING DIAGRAM .

      • Continuity should exist. 
    3. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    OK or NG

    • OK: GO TO 8.
    • NG: Repair open circuit or short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.
  8. CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (PHASE) 

    Refer to "COMPONENT INSPECTION ".

    OK or NG

    • OK: GO TO 9.
    • NG: Replace CMP sensor (PHASE).
  9. CHECK CAMSHAFT (INT) 

    Check the following.

    • Accumulation of debris to the signal plate of camshaft rear end
    • Chipping signal plate of camshaft rear end

    OK or NG

    • OK: GO TO 10.
    • NG: Remove debris and clean the signal plate of camshaft rear end or replace camshaft.
