Codes


MODE II
The self-diagnostic system used on the 300ZX differs from some other Nissan vehicles in that it uses only two modes and one LED for performing self-diagnosis. The "CHECK ENGINE" lamp will blink simultaneously with the LED.






DESCRIPTION

In this mode, a diagnostic trouble code is indicated by the number of flashes from the RED L.E.D. or the MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LAMP as shown.

Long (0.6 second) blinking indicates the number of ten digits and short (0.3 second) blinking indicates the number of single digits.

For example, the red L.E.D. flashes once for 0.6 seconds and then it flashes twice for 0.3 seconds. This indicates the number 12" and refers to a malfunction in the mass air flow sensor. In this way, all the problems are classified by their diagnostic trouble code numbers.

The diagnostic results will remain in ECM memory.
