C0301 Nissan 100 Diagnostic Trouble Code
C0301 Nissan 100 code definition:
C0301 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic C-Chassis Diagnostic Trouble Code for Nissan 100.
C0301 Nissan 100 or the Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow is the set whenever the computer sees that there is a problem with the flow coming from the purge valve or the purge flow is not enough within the EVAP system.

Symptoms
Symptoms of a C0301 Nissan 100 diagnostic trouble code may include:
- The light may stay on or light intermittently as the DPF regenerates. The engine will be sluggish on acceleration.
- Faulty PCM
- If the DPF is not cleared the ECU will revert to the "Limp Home Mode" until the situation is corrected
- The engine oil will exhibit dilution from the ECUs attempts to increase engine temperature. Some vehicles advance the fuel injection timing slightly after top center to afterburn a small amount of fuel to increase exhaust temperatures. Some of this fuel enters the crankcase. When the ECU determines the necessity to regenerate the DPF, the service life of the oil be shortened significantly
|
Possible Causes :
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
- The Mass Airflow sensor is a hot wire that senses the volume of air entering the intake manifold. The computer uses this information to control fuel mixture.
- An air leak forward of the DPF will change the sensor readings resulting in the code

Common Misdiagnoses
- Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit Performance Problem
- TP Sensor Learn Not Complete Problem
- Low Coolant Circuit Problem
- Cruise Control System - Vehicle Accel Too High Problem
- Kick-Down Switch Failed Short Problem
Repair Processes :
With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground.
Pack the connector cavity with dielectric silicone compound (same stuff they use for light bulb sockets and spark plug wires) and reassemble.
Oxygen sensors signal the engine management computer the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust, which is used in determining and controlling the fuel ratio.
