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

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) plus software updates (if any) have been installed.



The CONSULT PC is connected to the Internet (Wi-Fi or cable).

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.



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 Idle Air Volume
Learn. The above condition are required for Idle Air Volume Learn to complete.

CAUTION:


Connect a battery maintainer or smart charger set to reflash mode or a similar
setting. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or rises 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 plus VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are
within range of the CONSULT PC and plus VI during reprogramming,
reprogramming may be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged.

column in Table A on the next page.


If there is a match, continue with the reprogramming procedure.



If there is not a match, reprogramming does not apply. Refer to ASIST for
further diagnostic and repair information.
