IF YOU CONFIRM
The MIL is ON and DTC P0087 (FRP CONTROL SYSTEM) is stored in the ECM.

ACTION
1. Perform the appropriate diagnostic and repair procedure according to the ESM.
2. Reprogram the ECM, if applicable.


The ECM reprogram in this Service Procedure is not a repair for the DTC, but
instead updates the way the permanent DTC is stored and allowed to be
erased. The DTC must be properly diagnosed and repaired before the
reprogram is applied.

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.
