DTC Description

2024 Nissan-Datsun Frontier SL, RWDSECTION DTC Description

ECM supplies a voltage of 5 V to some of the sensors systematically divided into 2 groups, respectively. Accordingly, when a short circuit develops in a sensor power source, a malfunction may occur simultaneously in the sensors belonging to the same group as the short-circuited sensor.

Sensor power supply 1 

  • Crankshaft position sensor 1
  • Intake camshaft position sensor (bank 1)
  • Exhaust camshaft position sensor (bank 1)
  • Throttle position sensor
  • Mass air flow sensor
  • Accelerator pedal position sensor 1
  • Engine oil pressure sensor
  • Battery current sensor
  • Power steering pressure sensor
NOTE: SYMBOL If sensor power supply 1 circuit is malfunctioning, DTC P0643 is displayed.

Sensor power supply 2 

  • Crankshaft position sensor 2
  • Fuel rail pressure sensor
  • Intake manifold runner control valve position sensor
  • Intake camshaft position sensor (bank 2)
  • Exhaust camshaft position sensor (bank 2)
  • Accelerator pedal position sensor 2
  • Refrigerant pressure sensor

Sensor power supply 3 

  • EVAP control system pressure sensor

DTC DETECTION LOGIC 

DTC CONSULT screen terms (Trouble diagnosis content) DTC detection condition
P0643-00 SENSOR POWER/CIRC (Sensor power supply 1 circuit short) Diagnosis condition Engine running at idle
Signal (terminal) Sensor power supply 1 signal
Threshold A voltage of power source for sensor is excessively low or high
Diagnosis delay time -

POSSIBLE CAUSE 

Sensor power supply 1 circuit

FAIL-SAFE 

Engine Control System 

Fail safe mode Vehicle behavior
Device fix mode
  • Fixes electric intake valve timing control motor in the reference position.
  • Fixes exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve in the reference position.
  • The Intake manifold runner control valve motor is turned OFF (Intake manifold runner control valve opens).
Others ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.

Idle Start/Stop System 

When a DTC is detected, the start/stop indicator lamp blinks slowly and the idle start/stop system operation is prohibited. When ECM detects error while operating the idle start/stop system, ECM restarts the engine.

When to See a Mechanic

Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:

  • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
  • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
  • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
  • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
  • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
