Work Flow

OVERALL SEQUENCE

DETAILED FLOW

GET INFORMATION FOR SYMPTOM

1. Get detailed information from the customer about the symptom (the condition and the environment when the incident/malfunction occurs).

2. Check operation condition of the function that is malfunctioning.

GO TO 2.

CHECK DTC

CONSULT

1. Check DTC.

2. Perform the following procedure if DTC is detected:

   • Record DTC and freeze frame data (print them out).

   • Erase DTC.

   • Study the relationship between the cause detected by DTC and the symptom described by the customer.

Are any symptoms described and any DTC detected?

GO TO 3.

GO TO 4.

GO TO 5.

CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM

Try to confirm the symptom described by the customer.

Also study the normal operation and fail-safe related to the symptom.

Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.

GO TO 5.

CONFIRM THE SYMPTOM

Try to confirm the symptom described by the customer.

Verify relation between the symptom and the condition when the symptom is detected.

GO TO 6.

PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE

CONSULT

Perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE for the detected DTC, and then check that DTC is detected again. At this time, always connect CONSULT to the Nissan Ariya vehicle, and check "Self diagnosis result" in real time.

If two or more DTCs are detected, refer to DTC INSPECTION PRIORITY CHART, and determine trouble diagnosis order.

NOTE:

• Freeze frame data is useful if the DTC is not detected.

• Perform Component Function Check if DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE is not included on Service Manual. This simplified check procedure is an effective alternative though DTC cannot be detected during this check.

  If the result of Component Function Check is NG, it is the same as the detection of DTC by DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE.

Is DTC detected?

GO TO 7.

Refer to Intermittent Incident.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING SYSTEM BY SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS

CONSULT

Detect malfunctioning system according to SYMPTOM DIAGNOSIS based on the confirmed symptom in step 4, and determine the trouble diagnosis order based on possible causes and symptom.

Is the symptom described?

GO TO 7.

Monitor input data from related sensors or check voltage of related module terminals.

DETECT MALFUNCTIONING PART BY DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

Inspect according to Diagnosis Procedure of the system.

Is malfunctioning part detected?

GO TO 8.

Refer to Intermittent Incident.

REPAIR OR REPLACE THE MALFUNCTIONING PART

CONSULT

1. Repair or replace the malfunctioning part.

2. Reconnect parts or connectors disconnected during Diagnosis Procedure again after repair and replacement.

3. Check DTC. If DTC is detected, erase it.

GO TO 9.

FINAL CHECK

CONSULT

When DTC is detected in step 2, perform DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE again, and then check that the malfunction is repaired securely.

When symptom is described by the customer, refer to confirmed symptom in step 3 or 4, and check that the symptom is not detected.

Is DTC detected and does symptom remain?

DTC is detected: GO TO 7.

Symptom remains: GO TO 4.

Before returning the Nissan Ariya vehicle to the customer, always erase DTC.

System Setting

Temperature Setting Trimmer

Description

If the temperature felt by the customer is different than the airflow temperature controlled by the temperature setting, the auto amplifier control temperature can be adjusted to compensate for the temperature setting.

How to set

CONSULT

Select “TEMP SET CORRECT” in “Work support” mode of “HVAC”.

NOTE:

• When the temperature setting is set to 25.0°C (77°F) and −3.0°C (−6°F), the temperature controlled by auto amp. is 25.0°C (77°F) −3.0°C (6°F) = 22.0°C (71°F) and the temperature becomes lower than the temperature setting.

• When the battery cable is disconnected from the negative terminal or when the battery voltage becomes 10V or less, the setting of the difference between the temperature setting and control temperature may be cancelled.

Inlet Port Memory Function (FRE)

Description

• If the ignition switch is placed to the OFF position while the FRE () switch is set to ON (fresh air intake), “Perform the memory” or “Do not perform the memory” of the FRE () switch ON (fresh air intake) condition can be selected.

• If “Perform the memory” was set, the FRE () switch will be ON (fresh air intake) when placing the ignition switch to the ON position again.

• If “Do not perform the memory” was set, the air inlets will be controlled automatically when placing the ignition switch to the ON position again.

How to set

CONSULT

Select “FRE MEMORY SET” in “Work support” mode of “HVAC”.

NOTE:

When the battery cable is disconnected from the negative terminal or when the battery voltage becomes 10V or less, the setting of the FRE switch memory function may be cancelled.

Inlet Port Memory Function (REC)

Description

• If the ignition switch is placed to the OFF position while the REC () switch is set to ON (recirculation), “Perform the memory” or “Do not perform the memory” of the REC () switch ON (recirculation) condition can be selected.

• If “Perform the memory” was set, the REC () switch will be ON (recirculation) when placing the ignition switch to the ON position again.

• If “Do not perform the memory” was set, the air inlets will be controlled automatically when placing the ignition switch to the ON position again.

How to set

CONSULT

Select “REC MEMORY SET” in “Work support” mode of “HVAC”.

NOTE:

When the battery cable is disconnected from the negative terminal or when the battery voltage becomes 10V or less, the setting of the REC switch memory function may be cancelled.
