P3242 Nissan Note Ii OBD Code

OBD/2 P3242 error code description and symptoms.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction The PCM monitors the low speed fuel pump (LFP) primary circuit output from the PCM.
The test fails if: When the LFP circuit is commanded on (grounded), excessive current draw is detected on the LFP circuit; or when the LFP circuit is commanded off, voltage is not detected on the LFP circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming through the low speed fuel pump relay coil to the LFP circuit). Open or shorted low fuel pump (LFP) circuit Open VPWR to low speed fuel pump relay Damaged low speed fuel pump relay Damaged PCM An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected with the low speed fuel pump.

As long as the throttle plate remains closed, the idling speed and quality is controlled by the PCM via the idle control valve, and as can be seen from the above it should be clear that idle control on a gasoline engine is a complex affair. For instance, if the engine is started in sub-zero temperatures, the PCM will command the idling control valve to allow less air to enter the engine to enrich the air/fuel mixture to create a condition which is roughly analogous to how chokes worked on carburetted engines to control idling in cold weather.

P3242 Nissan Note Ii Error Code Repair Process :

For mirror passenger vertical feedback potentiometer circuit failure check engine light is perhaps the most troubling of lights because it could mean so many different things, from you didn't screw the gas cap on tightly enough to look out for pistons flying through the hood and into the stratosphere. The easiest way to find out what this light is telling you is to hook your vehicle up to a scan tool. P3242 error code diagnostic tool looks a little like an oversized calculator and plugs into a communication port inside the car. After you instruct it to perform the scan, it speaks mirror passenger vertical feedback potentiometer circuit failure with your car's computers to find out exactly what's prompting the light to turn on.

Common Causes of Nissan Note Ii P3242 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code P3242 is the failure of Mirror Passenger Vertical Feedback Potentiometer Circuit Failure, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection
Internal electrical failures in actuator motors/solenoids.

P3242 is a kind of Powertrain Trouble Code

Powertrain of a modern automobile, comprising engine (with exhaust system), transmission, drive shaft, suspension and the wheels. In a motor vehicle, the term powertrain or powerplant describes the main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air.
