OgaKazeem:

its impossible to give a definite solution remotely. my response is based purely on most likely causes of this fault according to manufacturer repair information...however my money is on diagnosing the circuit first...as a tech

to your question, the TPS is attached the electric throttle actuator also called the throttle body. a quick check on google will surely help U with the location.

hbid:
The Nissan workshop is at Karimu Kotun, not Adeola Odeku. I didnt mean Alliance Motors, there is another good place at Karimu Kotun.
You can get the CVT Fluid at the Nissan workshop for about 34,000 naira(4litres).
Hope this helps.

autologic:
A typical electronic type throttle assembly is a 6 pin terminal connector and takes all it output and input from the engine computer (as opposed to the cable type that is 3 pin ) and what each stands for are summarised below:
1. Pin 2 = Costant 5 v reference signal (ecu power feed)
2. pin 5 = 0 v low reference single (ecu signal ground)
3.pin 1= TPS1 first input signal to the ecu (TPS signal 1 to ecu ) and theoretical ranges from 0-5v
4 Pin 3 =TPS2 second input second to ecu (TPS signal 2 to ecu ) and ranges from 0-5v (theory)
5. Pin 5 and 6 = PWM signal to drive the throttle motor to open and close (ECU actuator output signal)

Costee:

All well, though there's always a danger in using generic sources as you've done.
For this vehicle
Pin 1 is the ECU feed
Pin 2 is for TPS 2
Pin 4 is for TPS 1
Pin 5 is for Ground
3 & 6 are for the drives of the throttle motor

Costee:
And speaking of the throttle motor drives (pins 3&6) in the ECM, I'm wondering whether the OP posted the entire error codes. If for example the drives are burnt in the ECM the car would have no acceleration at all, which is symptom under reference. In which case a new ECM will be needed.

autologic:

What i put forward is not generic ,source is excusively Nissan Pathfinder 2008 service Information hi .
I deal with service Information not generic and my signal testing will never be accurate unless I am be guided by Nissan dealership service Information
Anybody with similar can use terminal info below to confirm .

Costee:

But we are not talking of 2008 Pathfinder here. Yes, the same principles, but different circuit configuration. I've not checked but if we were to search for the part numbers of the TB for the two vehicles I'm sure they won't be the same.

autologic:

Sorry my mistake I thought the vehicle under consideration is Nissan Pathfinder ( I just finished one recently ) ,it actually a Nissan Murano 2005 ,I will make the necessary correction accordingly .

Costee:

Yes, as a tech that's what's expected of you.
As for the TPS, yes it's an integral part of the TB, but it has no separate connector as you earlier posted. The important point here, however, is that in searching for the TPS OP and his mechs have been looking in the wrong direction.

OgaKazeem:

and where did i say the tps has its own separate connector?

autologic:
Ogakazeem actually spoke my mind .
The greatest knowledge gap that auto technician are currently facing not only Nigeria but worldwide are "detail knowleage of principle of how things works and it's relationship to the electrical architect of the vehicle and even to the extent of intermodule communication ".
Scanning a vehicle is just small fraction of many test procedure to diagnose simple fault like this just like a what typical stestscope to a Doctor ,which is to give clue to the faulty system but cannot tell u to minute detail the fault., further test is required to get to the root of the problem .
Scan tool is purely a data retriever and test tool and is just like a sidekick to a superhero and not superhero itself .You are the superhero that will analysis the issue base on data received from scanner and other diagnosis tools like your Multimeter , Labcope and most importantly armed electrical foundational knowledge of what transpired in the background of the system .If you are armed with the right knowledge ,there is no limit to extent of Kazeemisation of a messed up vehicle you cannot undertake its restoration project to manufacturer specifications and even there is nothing stopping you for taking on any brand of vehicle and year as early as obd1 vehicle .
You don't have a business even repairing a toy car if cannot understand to detail the electrical circuit and signalling process that goes in background of any system cos you are going to be goofing around changing parts based solely on what your scanner DTC is telling you which doesn't differentiate you from a typical Kazeem despite investing in millions of naira professional scan tool.
Also,I will like to add to this piece that it is professionally wrong to be advising people that have issues with their car to be changing parts based on the scan DTC they give ,it is amateurish and not professional cos a lot of variable are involved which you won't have info about unless u actually see the vehicle physically and perform the needed test .
That you have guess right before doesn't apply to all situations .We can give point out area for them to concentrate their effort on but not to give advice on part changing .
Let me dive on how a typical architecture of electronic type throttle systems assembly of vehicle and Nissan peculiarities and the areas the ops will need to concentrate effort on .

How is this statement of yours to be understood:
"1. APPS sensor, circuit and connector
2. TPS sensor, circuit and connector
3. electric throttle control actuator circuit and connector

also ensure U perform a relearn everytime you disconnect the APPS, TPS or ETCA"

OgaKazeem:

oshey drop it like its hot... autologic this your latest track is ghen ghen o
oshey drop it like its hot... autologic this your latest track is ghen ghen o i miss class today sha hehehe

OgaKazeem:

yes the TPS has a connector which it shares the ETCA. my statement is a guide on what to check (wiring and corresponding pins) during diagnosis. hope this clarifies for you.

Besto:



I said that from personal experience.

I did a changed of tps in (1), but nothing changed, not until I had a change of Ecu and my rev'd up asap

In case no (2) traveled for over a month, came back car wasn't raising, had to do many restarts and after several restarts, engine picks and when I try to engage gear, it cuts out engine power again, more like putting the car on limp mode, checked gear oil and it was low. Changing oil solved issue.

Costee:

If you have seen the factory service manual of this vehicle for example you will realize that "circuit" need not necessarily have to be the cause of the present issue. The throttle body could just simply go bad and the same codes of "circuit" will appear. Most times too circuits go bad when they have been disturbed by hands. If the OP's vehicle had not been worked before the present issue circuits might not come into play.
You too have mentioned TPS. Could you tell us the location?

alphaNomega:


What is inside this oil that it would cost 34k in 2010? Nigerians love extorting each other.

erico2k2:

There goes the reason why people like you kill their car trans, orite go and get 15k Oil FIXED!

OgaKazeem:

atleast we wnt sympathize with him when he is done wrecking the car

erico2k2:
Exactly we are watching in 6D

erico2k2:

There goes the reason why people like you kill their car trans, orite go and get 15k Oil FIXED!

alphaNomega:


No no no, I literally want to know what the oil is made of

Costee:
The OP reached out to me, and I guess I should give a preliminary (if premature) report of the ensuing exchanges. On my advice, the OP ran a more comprehensive test and a myriad of codes came from the TCM, suggesting either the valve body or transmission was toast. I deducted from his explanation of the symptoms, that what he was experiencing was not lack of throttle response (as he explained here) but lack of power. The throttle codes in the ECM earlier posted no doubt derived from the weak signals from the TCM. I asked when last the transmission fluid was changed and he said some three months ago, though not with Nissan’s NS-2 but with some aftermarket fluid. Harmless enough maybe. But intolerable was the disclosure that the transmission had for some time previously been run on Total ATF, thanks to his mechanic. If I was a tech I guess I’d run further electrical tests, but I’m not one and so my advice straight on is a change of the transmission with a further admonition on the use of the recommended CVT fluid when that’s done.

erico2k2:

You already got an idea where the trouble is coming from have you tried cleaning the TP Sensor?
PS; Arrest those talking gearbox, they are yahoo MEchanics
when buying the TP Sensor make sure you buy a brand new one! TP Means throttle Position
