Fail-Safe Mode

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2002 Nissan Altima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

When malfunction is detected, ECM enters fail-safe mode. ECM stops electric throttle control actuator control, and throttle valve is maintained at a fixed opening (about 5 degrees) by the return spring.
