SB-10052411-8546 Classification : Referen ce: EC13-009 D ate: NTB13-065 June 17, 2013 2013 ALTIMA SEDAN WITH QR25DE ENGINE; EXTENDED CRANK BEFORE STARTING APPLIED VEHICLE: 2013 Altima Sedan (L33) with QR25DE (4-cyl) engine ONLY IF YOU CONFIRM: The engine has an extended crank before starting. • This issue may be intermittent. ACTION: Confirm this bulletin applies. • Compare the vehicle’s current ECM part number to those listed in Table A (see page 4). If the ECM part number does not match one listed in Table A, this bulletin does not apply. Go back to ASIST for further diagnostic and repair information. If this bulletin applies, reprogram the ECM. CLAIMS INFORMATION Submit a Primary Part (PP) line claim using the following claims coding: DESCRIPTION PFP OP CODE SYM DIA FRT Reprogram Engine Control (1) DE97AA ZE 32 (2) Module (1) Reference the Repair Order and use the current ECM P/N written down in step 6 of the SERVICE PROCEDURE as the PFP. (2) Reference the current Nissan Warranty Flat Rate Manual and use the indicated FRT. IMPORTANT: The purpose of ACTION (above) is to give you a quick idea of the work you will be performing. You MUST closely follow the entire SERVICE PROCEDURE as it contains information that is essential to successfully completing this repair. Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle. 1/9 SERVICE PROCEDURE • Most instructions for reprogramming with CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) are displayed on the CONSULT PC screen. • If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, click here. This will link you to the "CONSULT- III plus (C-III plus) Reprogramming" general procedure. Preparation for Reprogramming • Take the vehicle for a 10 minute drive in order to meet the following Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL) conditions: ¾ Engine coolant temperature: 70 -100°C (158 - 212°F) ¾ Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle) ¾ Transmission: Warmed up Figure A NOTE: o After ECM reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL), and Accelerator Closed Position. o The above conditions are required for the IAVL to complete. CAUTION: • Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery. The vehicle battery voltage must stay between 12.0V and 15.5V during reprogramming, or the ECM may be damaged. • Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the ECM may be damaged. • Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged. • Turn off all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged. 2/9 NTB13-065 1. Connect the CONSULT PC to the vehicle to begin the reprogramming procedure. 2. Start C-III plus. 3. Wait for the plus VI to be recognized. • The Serial No. will display when the plus VI is recognized. 4. Select Re/programming, Configuration. Step 3 Step 4 Figure 1 5. Follow the C-III plus on-screen instructions and navigate to the screen shown in Figure 2 on the next page. 3/9 NTB13-065 6. When you get to the screen shown in Figure 2, confirm this bulletin applies as follows: A. Find the ECM Part Number and write it on the repair order. NOTE: This is the current ECM Part Number (P/N). Current P/N Figure 2 B. Compare the P/N you wrote down to the numbers in the Current ECM Part Number column in Table A below. • If there is a match, this bulletin applies. Continue with the reprogramming procedure. • If there is not a match, this bulletin does not apply. Return to ASIST for further diagnostic and repair information. Table A Model Current ECM Part Number: 23710 - 2013 Altima Sedan with QR25DE Engine 3TA0A, 3TA0B, 3TA0C, 3TA1B, 3TA1C, 3TA1D, 3TA6A, 3TA7A, 3TA8A, 3TA6B, 3TA7B, 3TA8B, 3TY0A, 3TY1A, 3TY0B, 3TY1B, 3TY0C, 3TY1C, 3TY6A, 3TY7A, 3TY8A, 3TY6B, 3TY7B, 3TY8B 4/9 NTB13-065 7. Follow the on-screen instructions to navigate C-III plus and reprogram the ECM. NOTES: • In some cases, more than one new P/N for reprogramming is available. ¾ In this case, the screen in Figure 3 displays. ¾ Select and use the reprogramming option that does not have the message “Caution! Use ONLY with NTBXX-XXX”. • If you get this screen and it is blank (no reprogramming listed), it means there is no reprogramming available for this vehicle. Figure 3 5/9 NTB13-065 8. When the screen in Figure 4 displays, reprogramming is complete. NOTE: If the screen in Figure 4 does not display (reprogramming does not complete), refer to the information on the next page. 9. Disconnect the battery charger from the vehicle. 10. Select Next. Step 10 Figure 4 NOTES: • In the next steps (page 8), you will perform Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn, Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC erase. • These operations are required before C-III plus will provide the final reprogramming confirmation report. 6/9 NTB13-065 ECM recovery: Do not disconnect plus VI or shut down C-III plus if reprogramming does not complete. If reprogramming does not complete and the “!?” icon displays as shown in Figure 5: • Check battery voltage (12.0 - 15.5 V). • Ignition is ON, engine OFF. • External Bluetooth® devices are OFF. • All electrical loads are OFF. • Select retry and follow the on screen instructions. • “Retry” may not go through on first attempt and can be selected more than once. Figure 5 If reprogramming does not complete and the “X” icon displays as shown in Figure 6: • Check battery voltage (12. 0 - 15.5 V). • CONSULT A/C adapter is plugged in. • Ignition is ON, engine OFF. • Transmission is in Park. • All C-III plus / VI cables are securely connected. • All C-III plus updates are installed. • Select Home, and restart the reprogram procedure from the beginning. 6 Figure 6 7/9 NTB13-065 11. Follow the on-screen instructions to perform the following: • Throttle Valve Closed Position • Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL) NOTE: ¾ Listed below are the conditions required for IAVL to complete. ¾ If IAVL does not complete within a few minutes, a condition may be out of range. o Engine coolant temperature: 70 -100° C (158 - 212°F) o Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle) o Selector lever: P or N o Electric load switch: OFF (Air conditioner, headlamp, rear window defogger) o Steering wheel: Neutral (Straight-ahead position) o Vehicle speed: Stopped o Transmission: Warmed up (ATF TEMP SE less than 0.9V) • Accelerator Pedal Close Position Learning • Erase DTCs Continue to the next page. 8/9 NTB13-065 12. When the entire reprogramming process is complete, the screen in Figure 7 will display. 13. Verify the before and after part numbers are different. 14.
