U0493 Nissan Gt-r OBD Code

OBD/2 U0493 error code description and symptoms.

Variable Cam Timing Over-advanced (Bank 1) The comprehensive component monitor (CCM) monitors the VCT position for an over-advanced camshaft timing.
The test fails when the camshaft timing exceeds a maximum calibrated value or remains in an advanced position. Cam timing improperly set No oil flow to the VCT piston chamber Low oil pressure VCT solenoid valve stuck closed Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit) U0493 DTC is a check of the VCT unit.

Circuit High Input codes like U0493 are mostly caused by defective alternators that develop excessive voltages, although there may be other causes as well, such as short circuits that 'leak' current into a particular system from other, unrelated systems that work on higher voltages. Note that in the case of short circuits that leak power into a control circuit, there is likely to be other, seemingly unrelated trouble codes present along with the code(s) being investigated. Diagnosing a 'high input' code will always involve a thorough testing of the charging system as a first step, followed by measures to isolate the system from all other possible sources of power during resistance, continuity, and reference voltage tests.

U0493 Nissan Gt-r Error Code Repair Process :

If your vehicle speed sensor malfunction check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system U0493 and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different vehicle speed sensor malfunction, and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.

Common Causes of Nissan Gt-r U0493 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code U0493 is the failure of Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Camshaft advance mechanism binding (VCT unit)
Faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor (POS)
Faulty TCM or TCM programming
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection

U0493 is a kind of Network Trouble Code

U-code indicates that engine communication errors and shows lost communication with engine parts.U-Codes are fairly straight forward, given all of the articles and technical publications that have been written regarding these problematic codes. In most cases, it just comes down to identifying the module that isn't communicating with the other modules on the CAN bus line for whatever reason.
