Nissan Rogue Service Manual: P0420 three way catalyst function

DTC Description

DTC DETECTION LOGIC

The ECM monitors the switching frequency ratio of air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2.

A three way catalyst (manifold) with high oxygen storage capacity will indicate a low switching frequency of heated oxygen sensor 2.

As oxygen storage capacity decreases, the heated oxygen sensor 2 switching frequency will increase.

When the frequency ratio of air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 and heated oxygen sensor 2 approaches a specified limit value, the three way catalyst (manifold) malfunction is diagnosed.

  7.  Select “DATA MONITOR” mode of “ENGINE” using CONSULT.
  8.  Check that “COOLAN TEMP/S” indicates more than 70°C (158°F). If not, warm up engine and go to next step when “COOLAN TEMP/S” indication reaches to 70°C (158°F).
  9.  Open engine hood.
  10.  Select “DTC & SRT CONFIRMATION” then “SRT WORK SUPPORT” mode of “ENGINE” using CONSULT.
  11.  Rev engine up to 2,500 to 3,000 rpm and hold it for 3 consecutive minutes then release the accelerator pedal completely.
  12.  Check the indication of “CATALYST”.

Which is displayed on CONSULT screen? CMPLT>> GO TO 5.

INCMP >> GO TO 3.

3.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-2

  1.  Wait 5 seconds at idle.
  2.  Rev engine up to 2,500 to 3,000 rpm and maintain it until “INCMP” of “CATALYST” changes to “CMPLT” (It will take approximately 5 minutes).

Does the indication change to “CMPLT”?

YES >> GO TO 5.

NO >> GO TO 4.

4.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE AGAIN

  1.  Stop engine and cool it down to less than 70°C (158°F).
  2.  Perform DTC confirmation procedure again.

>> GO TO 2.

5.PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-3

Check 1st trip DTC.

Is 1st trip DTC detected? YES >> Proceed to EC-302, "Diagnosis Procedure".

NO >> INSPECTION END

6.PERFORM COMPONENT FUNCTION CHECK

Without CONSULT

  1.  Start engine and warm it up to the normal operating temperature.
  2.  Turn ignition switch OFF and wait at least 10 seconds.
  3.  Restart engine and keep the engine speed between 3,500 and 4,000 rpm for at least 1 minute under no load.
  4.  Let engine idle for 1 minute.
  5.  Open engine hood.
  6.  Check the voltage between ECM harness connector terminals as per the following condition.

Perform component function check

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> INSPECTION END

NO >> Proceed to EC-302, "Diagnosis Procedure".

Diagnosis Procedure

1.CHECK EXHAUST SYSTEM

Visually check exhaust tubes and muffler for dent.

Is the inspection result normal?

YES >> GO TO 2.

NO >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

2.CHECK EXHAUST GAS LEAK

  1.  Start engine and run it at idle.
  2.  Listen for an exhaust gas leak before the three way catalyst (manifold).

Check exhaust gas leak

Is exhaust gas leak detected? YES >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

NO >> GO TO 3.

3.CHECK INTAKE AIR LEAK

Listen for an intake air leak after the mass air flow sensor.

Is intake air leak detected? YES >> Repair or replace error-detected parts.

NO >> GO TO 4.

4.CHECK IGNITION TIMING AND IDLE SPEED

Check the following items. Refer to EC-132, "Work Procedure".

For specification, refer to EC-500, "Ignition Timing" For specification, refer to EC-500, "Idle Speed".

Is the inspection result normal? YES >> GO TO 5.

6.CHECK FUNCTION OF IGNITION COIL-1

CAUTION: Do the following procedure in the place where ventilation is good without the combustible.

  1.  Turn ignition switch OFF.
  2.  Remove fuel pump fuse in IPDM E/R to release fuel pressure.

    NOTE: Do not use CONSULT to release fuel pressure, or fuel pressure applies again during the following procedure.

  3.  Start engine.
  4.  After engine stalls, crank it two or three times to release all fuel pressure.
  5.  Turn ignition switch OFF.
