Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 8 other vehicles, including the 2003 Nissan Xterra, 2003 Nissan Sentra, 2003 Nissan Pathfinder, 2003 Nissan Murano, and 2003 Nissan Maxima. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If idle air volume learning cannot be performed successfully, proceed as listed:

Check that throttle valve is fully closed.
Check PCV valve operation.
Check that downstream of throttle valve is free from air leakage.
When the above three items check out OK, engine component parts and their installation condition are questionable. Check and eliminate the cause of the incident.
If any of the listed conditions occur after the engine has started, eliminate the cause of the incident and perform idle air volume learning all over again:
- Engine stalls.
- Erroneous idle.
