Diagnostic Procedure For Intake Sensor

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2004 Nissan Quest. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

SYMPTOM: Intake sensor circuit is open or shorted. (56 or 57 is indicated on front air control as a result of conducting Self-diagnosis).

  1. CHECK VOLTAGE BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND GROUND 
    1. Disconnect intake sensor connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check voltage between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 2 (R/W) and ground.

      Approx. 5V

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO 2.
    2. NG : GO TO  4.
  2. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect front air control connector.
    3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 1 (O/B) and front air control harness connector M49 terminal 21 (O/B).

      Continuity should exist.

    OK or NG 

    1. OK : GO TO 3.
    2. NG : Repair harness or connector.
  3. CHECK INTAKE SENSOR 

    Refer to "INTAKE SENSOR ".

    OK or NG 

    1. OK
      1. Replace front air control
      2. Go to self-diagnosis "A/C SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION " and perform the self-diagnosis.
    2. NG
      1. Replace intake sensor.
      2. Go to self-diagnosis "A/C SYSTEM SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION " and perform the self-diagnosis.
  4. CHECK CIRCUIT CONTINUITY BETWEEN INTAKE SENSOR AND FRONT AIR CONTROL 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect front air control connector.
    3. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 2 (R/W) and front air control harness connector M49 terminal 9 (R/W).

      Continuity should exist. 

    4. Check continuity between intake sensor harness connector M305 terminal 2 (R/W) and ground.

      Continuity should not exist.
