How to fix P0101 Nissan Sentra

If the vehicle is a 2013 or 2014 Sentra, Inspect the color of the PCV valve. If the PCV valve is orange, replace it with the updated part (11910-6N202 PCV). If the PCV valve is black, do NOT replace it.

If the vehicle is a 2015 or 2016 Sentra, remove the electronic throttle body and clean the throttle valve and chamber of the electronic throttle body.

Do NOT simply spray throttle body cleaner onto the throttle plate. The entire throttle body must be removed and the cleaning conducted on the back side of the throttle plate and bore. Remove all carbon buildup in the bore and on the throttle plate. Do NOT spray throttle body cleaner directly onto the throttle plate. The cleaner can wick into the electronics and damage them. Spray the cleaner onto a rag and use the rag to remove the carbon deposits.

Use a new throttle body gasket (16175-JA00A) when reinstalling the throttle body. Do NOT reuse the old gasket.

Then reprogram using updated software
