Nissan Maxima Service and Repair Manual: B2578, B2579 in-vehicle sensor
Description
In-vehicle Sensor
- The in-vehicle sensor (1) is located on instrument lower cover (LH).
- It converts variations in compartment air temperature drawn from the aspirator into a resistance value. It is then input into the A/C auto amp.
In-vehicle Sensor Circuit
Aspirator
The aspirator (1) is located on driver side of heater & cooling unit assembly. It produces vacuum pressure due to air discharged from the heater & cooling unit assembly, continuously taking compartment air in the aspirator.

DTC DETECTION LOGIC
NOTE: If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010.
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE
1.CHECK WITH SELF-DIAGNOSIS FUNCTION OF CONSULT
- Using CONSULT, perform "SELF-DIAGNOSIS RESULTS" of HVAC.
- Check if any DTC No. is displayed in the self-diagnosis results.
NOTE: If DTC is displayed along with DTC U1000 or U1010, first diagnose the DTC U1000 or U1010.
Diagnosis Procedure
1.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR POWER SUPPLY
- Disconnect in-vehicle sensor connector.
- Turn ignition switch ON.
3. Check voltage between in-vehicle sensor harness connector M34 terminal 1 and ground.
1 - Ground: Approx. 5V
2.CHECK CONTINUITY BETWEEN IN-VEHICLE SENSOR AND A/C AUTO AMP.
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect A/C auto amp. connector.
- Check continuity between in-vehicle sensor harness connector M34 (A) terminal 2 and A/C auto amp. harness connector M37 (B) terminal 37.
2 - 37: Continuity should exist.
3.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
Check in-vehicle sensor.
4.CHECK CONTINUITY BETWEEN IN-VEHICLE SENSOR AND A/C AUTO AMP.
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect A/C auto amp. connector.
- Check continuity between in-vehicle sensor harness connector M34 (A) terminal 1 and A/C auto amp. harness connector M37 (B) terminal 36.
1 - 36: Continuity should exist.
- Check continuity between in-vehicle sensor harness connector M34 (A) terminal 1 and ground.
1 - Ground: Continuity should not exist.
Component Inspection
1.CHECK IN-VEHICLE SENSOR
- Turn ignition switch OFF.
- Disconnect in-vehicle sensor connector.
- Check resistance between in-vehicle sensor terminals.

P0116 ECT sensor
Description
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine
coolant temperature. The sensor modifies a voltage signal from the
ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the engine coolant
temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to
the c ...
Starting the engine
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Move the shift lever to P (Park) or N (Neutral).
P (Park) is recommended.
The starter is designed not to operate if
the shift lever is in any of the driving
positions.
3. Push the ignition switch to the ON position.
Depress the brake pedal and push the ign ...
