Engine Controls - Tests W/codes - 1.6L: Overview Nissan 200SX S14

Description & Operation

A drive cycle is a pattern of driving in which the ECM will execute all OBD-II diagnostic monitors. A drive cycle can be used to cause a DTC to set if fault is present or to verify a DTC will not return after a repair has been done. The drive cycles consist of 3 different driving patterns. When a pattern is successfully completed it is called a "trip". Ensure pattern "A" is completed before attempting to perform patterns "B" and "C". Drive cycle trip status can be observed using OBD-II scan tool. Access DATA MONITOR menu selection and select TRIP SET from scan tool menu screen.

DTC IDENTIFICATION

System Description

The ECM controls torque converter clutch solenoid valve to cancel the lock-up condition of A/T. When the solenoid valve is turned on, lock-up is cancelled. When the solenoid valve is turned off, A/T lock-up is operational.

Conditions for lock-up cancel

  1. Throttle valve is fully closed (idling or deceleration)
  2. Engine coolant temperature is below 60°C (140°F)
  3. Vehicle speed is less than 64 km/h (40 MPH)
  4. During high-load operation
Diagnostic Trouble Code No.Malfunction Is Detected WhenCheck Items (Possible Cause)
