Scan Tool<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\nTo Perform:<\/p>\n
NOTE: Use a clock to measure the time during the following procedure.
\n1.Verify the following operating conditions exist; \u25e6Battery voltage is more than 12.9V at idle
\n\u25e6Engine coolant temperature is 158\u00ef\u00bf\u00bd – 212\u00ef\u00bf\u00bdF (70\u00ef\u00bf\u00bd – 100\u00ef\u00bf\u00bdC)
\n\u25e6PNP switch is ON
\n\u25e6Electric load switch is OFF (all loads off)
\n\u25e6Steering wheel is straight ahead
\n\u25e6Vehicle is stopped and transmission is at normal temperature<\/p>\n
NOTE: If equipped with DRL, apply parking brake before starting engine to turn off DRLs.<\/p>\n
2.Perform Accelerator pedal released position learn procedure.
\n3.Perform Throttle valve closed position learn procedure.
\n4.Run the engine to normal operating temperature.
\n5.Turn the ignition switch OFF for at least 10 seconds.
\n6.Verify the accelerator pedal is fully released and turn the ignition switch ON for 3 seconds.
\n7.Press and release the accelerator pedal 5 times within 5 seconds.
\n8.Wait 7 seconds and then press and hold the pedal to the floor for 20 seconds until the MIL stops blinking and stays ON.
\n9.Release the pedal within 3 seconds from the time the MIL turns ON.
\n10.Start the engine and allow it to idle.
\n11.Wait 20 seconds.
\n12.Rev the engine a couple of times and verify correct idle speed and ignition timing; \u25e6Idle speed: 650+\/-50 rpm
\n\u25e6Ignition timing: 15\u00ef\u00bf\u00bd+\/-5\u00ef\u00bf\u00bd<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

I just bought a 2004 Nissan Maxima and I’m having problems with the rpm’s running high. When I hit the brake the rpm’s go up a few hundred and then will come back down and when this happens I can feel the jump in acceleration. Also because the rpm’s run high, when u go to shift into another gear without letting the rpm’s come down, it will shift hard making it feel like my transmission is hitting hard. Anyone know what could be causing this???<\/p>\n
