ECU Code: 87 Anyone know what it means ? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Fibercus · 09-21-2001, 04:12 PM

I covered all  the electric components with plastic, but afterwards my car (auto) started shifted terribly and  spit out the code 87 when I ran the diagnostic...

I checked on various sites and the code 87 isnt on any of the lists (including 240sx.org)

I double checked the code, and it is indeed 8, 7.

Anyone know what I should do or what could have been damaged by the water ? =(

Thanks in advance for reading (if anyone does <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>)

I have checked my factory service manual for 95 240sx, it also doesn't have the code of 87......

It's definitely not 87 or 78 for that matter.  Try again...

How acting up? Shifting hard? Might be the resistor. In the engine bay, driver's side, there's a component that says Unisia Jecs. It's a resistor for atuo's, for smoother shifting. It might be damaged, or disconnected. Have it checked by your local Nissan dealership. And tell em about Code 87, might be a different cause.

Good Luck.
