How to Read Self-Diagnostic Results

"SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS" MODE

How to Perform Self-diagnosis





1. Touch "SELF-DIAG RESULTS".
2. Touch "START'.





3. If no malfunction is detected, CONSULT will show "NO FAILURE".






- If trouble codes are displayed with "TIME = 0", repair/replace the system according to "SYMPTOM CHART 1 (SELF-DIAGNOSIS ITEM)".

- In this case, both "MAYDAY" and "INFORMATION" indicator lamps illuminate for more than 30 seconds while the ignition switch is in the ON position.

NOTE: The time data in CONSULT "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" mode displays the number of ignition switch cycles without the same malfunctioning occurring.




- If trouble codes are displayed with "TIME = 1 or greater", it means that the trouble code is historical data. So no further diagnosis is required.

NOTE: If trouble codes are displayed with "TIME = 1 or greater" even though the NISSAN Communicator has never been serviced. Intermittent incidents may occur. Check the system, refer to "Trouble Diagnoses for Intermittent Incident".

- If the system does not detect any trouble, the IVCS indicators will turn off after bulb check (self-diagnosis) is completed while the ignition switch is in the ON position.

NOTE: The trouble codes cannot be erased by CONSULT.

- After 50 ignition cycles, the trouble codes are no longer displayed in the CONSULT "SELF-DIAG RESULTS" mode.

- The IVCS unit does not count the ignition switch cycles unless the ignition switch is OFF for more than 3 minutes between each ignition switch cycle.
