Nissan Pathfinder (2011 year). Manual - part 247

EC-30

< BASIC INSPECTION >

[VQ40DE]

HOW TO SET SRT CODE

Always drive the vehicle in safe manner according to traffic conditions and obey all traffic laws.

*1: Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h (56 MPH), then release the accelerator pedal

and keep it released for more than 10 seconds. Depress the accelerator pedal until vehicle speed is 90 km/h

(56 MPH) again.

*2: Checking the vehicle speed with GST is advised.

• The time required for each diagnosis varies with road surface conditions, weather, altitude, individual driving

habits, etc.

• “Zone A” is the fastest time where required for the diagnosis under normal conditions*. If the diagnosis is not

completed within “Zone A”, the diagnosis can still be performed within “Zone B”.

HOW TO ERASE PERMANENT DTC

HOW TO ERASE PERMANENT DTC

Description

INFOID:0000000006709453

OUTLINE

When a DTC is stored in ECM

When a DTC is stored in ECM and MIL is ON, a permanent DTC is erased with MIL shutoff if the same mal-

function is not detected after performing the driving pattern for MIL shutoff three times in a raw.

When a DTC is not stored in ECM

The erasing method depends on a permanent DTC stored in ECM. Refer to the following table.

NOTE:

If the applicable permanent DTC includes multiple groups, perform the procedure of Group B first. If the per-

manent DTC is not erased, perform the procedure of Group A.

: Applicable —: Not applicable

*: For group, refer to 

EC-441, "DTC Index"

.

PERMANENT DTC ITEM

For permanent DTC items, MIL turns ON. Refer to 

EC-441, "DTC Index"

.

*1: When the same malfunction is de-

tected in two consecutive trips, MIL 
will illuminate.

*2: MIL will turn off after vehicle is driven 

3 times (driving pattern B) without 
any malfunctions.
