1990 Nissan-Datsun 240SX XE, StandardFACTORY OEM SERVICE PROCEDURE

Feedback System

  1. Start engine and warm to operating temperature. Ensure idle speed and timing are adjusted to specification. Monitor Green LED on ECU while increasing engine speed to about 2000 RPM for 2 minutes under no-load condition.
  2. Note the number of flashes by Green LED every 10 seconds. See ECU GREEN LED FEEDBACK RESPONSEΒ  table. Number of flashes during a 10-second period should at least equal number of flashes listed in table.
  3. Race engine 2 or 3 times and allow to idle. Enter self-diagnostic Mode II. Disconnect throttle sensor/switch harness connector. Monitor Red LED and Green LED while idling. Red LED and Green LED should flash simultaneously. If not, adjust airflow meter (if adjustable). See ADJUSTMENTS article.
  4. If airflow meter adjustment does not affect the LEDs, and ECU self-diagnostic system only flashes Code 55 (pass), either airflow meter, oxygen sensor or ECU is defective.
