QR25DE

IF YOU CONFIRM
The engine turns OFF or hesitates when accelerating from a stop during hot ambient
temperatures (+100°F),
AND
The engine is able to be restarted.

ACTION
1. Refer to step 6 in the SERVICE PROCEDURE to see if 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.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:


ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.



All CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) software updates (if any) have been installed.

NOTE:


Most instructions for reprogramming with 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

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.

B. Compare the P/N you wrote down to the numbers in the Current ECM Part
Number column in Table A on pages 5 - 7.


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.
