The measured airflow does not agree with the engine computer's expected value.
The airflow-sensor signal is lower than the engine computer expects for the operating conditions.
The intake-air-temperature signal commonly indicates an open circuit or an extremely cold reading.
The coolant-temperature signal voltage is lower than expected, often representing an implausibly hot reading.
The engine is taking longer than expected to reach normal operating temperature.
The upstream oxygen sensor is responding more slowly than expected.
The engine computer is adding excessive fuel to compensate for a lean mixture.
The engine computer is removing excessive fuel because the mixture appears rich.
Combustion failures have been detected on multiple or changing cylinders.
Repeated combustion failures have been detected on cylinder 1.
Repeated combustion failures have been detected on cylinder 2.
Repeated combustion failures have been detected on cylinder 3.
The engine computer cannot reliably read the bank 1 knock-sensor circuit.
The crankshaft-position signal needed for ignition and fuel timing is missing or unreliable.
The expected response was not detected when EGR flow was commanded.
The bank 1 catalyst shows less oxygen-storage performance than expected.
The bank 2 catalyst shows less oxygen-storage performance than expected.
The sealed fuel-vapor system is losing pressure through a relatively small leak.
The fuel-vapor system cannot hold pressure because of a large opening or leak.
The fuel-vapor system has detected a very small loss of sealing integrity.
A valid vehicle-speed signal is not reaching the engine or transmission computer.
The transmission controller has stored one or more separate fault codes.
A lean indication has been detected after the bank 1 catalytic converter.
On applicable Nissan vehicles, including the 2020 Altima 2.0L VC-Turbo, this manufacturer-specific code concerns the variable-compression-ratio control system. Confirm the exact Nissan service definition before testing or replacing components.
