Classification: Reference: EC16-009 Date: NTB16-031 March 23, 2016 2013-2016 ALTIMA WITH QR25DE ENGINE; MIL ON WITH DTC P0116 APPLIED VEHICLE: 2013-2016 Altima (L33) APPLIED ENGINE: QR25DE IF YOU CONFIRM The MIL is ON with P0116 Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT SENSOR) stored, and There are no drivability issues. ACTION 1. Refer to step 6 in the SERVICE PROCEDURE to confirm this bulletin applies to the vehicle you are working on. 2. If this bulletin applies, reprogram the ECM. 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. 1/10 SERVICE PROCEDURE NOTE: 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) ECM Reprogramming" general procedure. 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 Figure A After reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn, Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC erase. The above conditions are required for the IAVL to complete CAUTION: Connect the GR8 to the 12V battery and select ECM Power Supply Mode. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or above 15.5V during reprogramming, 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. 2/10 NTB16-031 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 number will display when the plus VI is recognized. 4. Select Re/programming, Configuration. VI is recognized Step 4 Figure 1 5. Follow the on-screen instructions and navigate the C-III plus to the screen shown in Figure 2 on the next page. 3/10 NTB16-031 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). 6A: Current ECM 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 on the next page. If there is a match, this bulletin applies. Continue with the reprogramming procedure. If there is not a match, this bulletin does not apply. Close C-III plus and refer to ASIST for further diagnostic information. 4/10 NTB16-031 Table A MODEL CURRENT ECM PART NUMBER: 237103TA6A, 3TA6B, 3TA6C, 3TA6D 3TA7A, 3TA7B, 3TA7C, 3TA7D 3TA8A, 3TA8B, 3TA8C, 3TA8D 3TY6A, 3TY6B, 3TY6C, 3TY6D 2013 Altima w/QR25DE engine 3TY7A, 3TY7B, 3TY7C, 3TY7D 3TY8A, 3TY8B, 3TY8C, 3TY8D 3TA0A, 3TA0B, 3TA0C 3TA1B, 3TA1C, 3TA1D 3TY0A, 3TY0B, 3TY0C 3TY1A, 3TY1B, 3TY1C 9HM3A, 9HM3B, 9HM3C 9HM4A, 9HM4B, 9HM4C 2014 Altima w/QR25DE engine 9HM5A, 9HM5B, 9HM5C 9HM6A, 9HM6B, 9HM6C 9HM7A, 9HM7B, 9HM7C 9HM8A, 9HM8B, 9HM8C 9HP0A, 9HP0B, 9HP0C, 9HP0D 9HP1A, 9HP1B, 9HP1C, 9HP1D 2015 Altima w/QR25DE engine 9HP2A, 9HP2B, 9HP2C, 9HP2D 9HP3A, 9HP3B, 9HP3C, 9HP3D, 9HP3E 9HP4A, 9HP4B, 9HP4C, 9HP4D, 9HP4E 9HP5A, 9HP5B, 9HP5C, 9HP5D, 9HP5E 2016 Altima w/QR25DE engine 9HN4A, 9HN5A, 9HN6A, 9HN7A, 9HN8A 3TY2A, 3TY3A, 3TY4A, 3TY5A, 3TY9A 5/10 NTB16-031 7. Follow the on-screen instructions to navigate C-III plus and reprogram the ECM. NOTE: In some cases, more than one new P/N for reprogramming is available. If more than one new P/N is available, 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. Close C-III plus and refer back to ASIST for further diagnosis. Figure 3 6/10 NTB16-031 8. When the screen in Figure 4 displays, reprogramming is complete. NOTE: If the screen in Figure 4 does not display (indicating that reprogramming did not complete), refer to the information on page 8. 9. Disconnect the battery charger from the vehicle. 10. Select Next. Step 10 Figure 4 NOTE: In the next steps, starting on page 9, 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. 7/10 NTB16-031 ECM recovery: Do not disconnect plus VI or shut down Consult 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.
