POSSIBLE CAUSE

  • Harness or connector

    (APP sensor 1 or 2 circuit is open or shorted.)

    [CMP sensor (PHASE) circuit is open or shorted.]

    (EOP sensor circuit is shorted.)

    (Refrigerant pressure sensor is shorted.)

  • Accelerator pedal position sensor

    (APP sensor 1 or 2)

  • Camshaft position sensor (PHASE)

  • Engine oil pressure sensor

  • Refrigerant pressure sensor

FAIL-SAFE

Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
Fail safe mode Nissan Murano Vehicle behavior
Accelerator pedal position sensor

The ECM controls the electric throttle control actuator in regulating the throttle opening in order for the idle position to be within +10 degrees.

The ECM regulates the opening speed of the throttle valve to be slower than the normal condition.

Therefore, the acceleration will be poor.
DTC Confirmation Procedure
