C3252 Nissan Almera Tino OBD Code

OBD/2 C3252 error code description and symptoms.

Catalytic converters must be warm before they can work properly. On a cold start the PCM provides a rich mixture to keep the cold engine running.
All that extra fuel goes into the catalytic converter. But the exhaust isn't very hot, because, ah, the engine is pretty cold. GM has employed several strategies to fire up the catalytic converter quicker and reduce cold start emissions. One way is to use a secondary air pump that pumps outside air directly into the catalytic converter.

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code C3252, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code C3252 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

C3252 Nissan Almera Tino Error Code Repair Process :

If your vehicle failed a C3252 test and the C3252 Check Engine Light is NOT on, chances are you have a problem with the OBDII system, a burned out MIL lamp, or a faulty catalytic converter. The converter is essentially an afterburner that cleans up the exhaust after it exits the engine. The OBDII system uses rear washer input short to ground a ownstream oxygen sensor to monitor the efficiency of the converter, and it should detect a drop in converter efficiency if the converter has been contaminated or is failing (ignition misfiring, leaky exhaust valves, and oil burning can all damage the converter). What you want to look rear washer input short to ground: Any conditions that might cause ignition misfire, an overly rich or lean fuel condition, or loss of compression. Use your OBD Express DIY to look at the oxygen sensor outputs, coolant temperature, airflow, calculated engine load, and inlet air temperature.

Common Causes of Nissan Almera Tino C3252 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code C3252 is the failure of Rear Washer Input Short to Ground, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Dirty Oil
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
Incorrect fuel pressure
Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve circuit poor electrical connection

C3252 is a kind of Chassis Trouble Code

Diagnosing chassis noises can be one of the most frustrating problems technicians face. Fortunately, manufacturers have engineered noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) diagnostic techniques and equipment to find the source of the noise.
