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. 1/13 FLOW CHART Any of the following DTCs are found stored in the ECM: P0037, P0038, P0057, P0058, P0139, P0159, P0141, P0161, P0137, P0157, P0138, P0158 2015: Altima or Pathfinder 2015 Murano Check the ECM P/N for possible reprogramming (see page 5) Check the ECM and TCM P/Ns for possible reprogramming (see page 5) Reprogram the ECM as it applies Reprogram the ECM and TCM as they apply Replace the rear O2 sensor(s) related to the DTC(s) * Erase DTC(s) END * Replace only the rear O2 sensor that relates to the stored DTC(s) (B1 and/or B2). Do NOT replace both rear O2 sensors if the DTC(s) is for one rear O2 sensor. 2/13 NTB15-051 SERVICE PROCEDURE ECM/TCM Reprogramming This procedure will require reprogramming of the ECM first, and for some vehicles the TCM second, which means most steps in this procedure may need to be done twice. 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: Engine coolant temperature: 70 -100°C (158 - 212°F) Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle) Transmission: Warmed up FigureAA Figure NOTE: After ECM reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL), and Accelerator Closed Position. The above conditions are required for the IAVL to complete. CAUTION: Connect the GR8 battery charger to the vehicle battery. The vehicle battery voltage must stay between 12.0V and 15.5V during reprogramming, or the ECM/TCM may be damaged. Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the ECM/TCM 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/TCM 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/TCM may be damaged. 3/13 NTB15-051 1. Connect the CONSULT PC to the vehicle to begin the reprogramming procedure. 2. Open ASIST on the CONSULT PC and start C-III plus. 3. Wait for the plus VI to be recognized / connected. The serial number (Serial No.) will display when the plus VI is recognized / connected. 4. Select Re/programming, Configuration. Step 3: VI is recognized Step 4 Figure 1 5. Follow the on-screen instructions and navigate C-III plus to the screen shown in Figure 2 on the next page. 4/13 NTB15-051 6. When you get to the screen shown in Figure 2, confirm this bulletin applies as follows: A. Find the ECM (or TCM) Part Number and write it on the repair order. NOTE: This is the current ECM or TCM Part Number (P/N). ECM preprogramming must be performed first. 6A: Current P/N Figure 2 B. Compare the P/N you wrote down to the numbers in the Current ECM (or TCM) Part Number column in Table A (or Table B) on next page. If there is a match, this bulletin applies. Continue with the reprogramming procedure. If there is not a match, reprogramming does not apply. Make sure to check both ECM and TCM (as it applies) for a match. 5/13 NTB15-051 Table A (ECM) MODEL CURRENT ECM PART NUMBER: 237109HP6A, 9HP6B 2015 Altima 9HP7A, 9HP7B 9PB0A, 9PB0B 2015 Pathfinder 9PB1A, 9PB1B 5AA0A, 5AA0B 5AA3A, 5AA3B 2015 Murano 5AA4A, 5AA4B 5AA5A, 5AA5B Table B (TCM) MODEL CURRENT TCM PART NUMBER: 31036- 2015 Murano 5AA0A, 5AA0D 6/13 NTB15-051 7. Follow the on-screen instructions to navigate C-III plus and reprogram the ECM (and TCM, if it applies). NOTE: In some cases, more than one new P/N for reprogramming is available. In this case, the screen in Figure 3 displays. 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 7/13 NTB15-051 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 NOTE: In the next steps (page 9): 1. For ECM reprogramming you will perform Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn, Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC erase. 2. For TCM reprogramming, only DTC erase is needed. These operations are required before C-III plus will provide the final reprogramming confirmation report. 8/13 NTB15-051 ECM/TCM recovery: Do not disconnect plus VI or shut down Consult III plus if reprogramming does not complete.
