Diagnostic Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2003 Infiniti G35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
CAUTION: DO NOT use ECM ground terminals when measuring voltage. Damage to ECM transistor may result. Use engine ground.

For component location, see COMPONENT LOCATIONS  . For connector terminal identification, see CONNECTOR IDENTIFICATION  . For circuit diagram, see Fig 1 . For ECM pin voltage reference values, see Fig 2 .

  1. Turn ignition off. Disconnect ECM harness connector F-101. Check voltage between ECM harness connector F-101 terminal No. 67 and ground. If battery voltage does not exist, go to next step. If battery voltage exists, go to step  3 .
  2. Check the following:
    • Harness connectors E12 and F3.
    • Defective fusible link No. 34 (15-amp).
    • Harness for open or short between ECM and battery.
    Repair as necessary.
  3. No problem is indicated at this time. Problem may be intermittent. See INTERMITTENTS in TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article. If no problem is indicated at this time and CONSULT-II is available, go to next step. If no problem is indicated at this time and CONSULT-II is not available, go to step  5 . If intermittent problem is found, repair or replace as necessary.
  4. Turn ignition on. Select SELF-DIAG RESULTS mode with CONSULT-II. Press ERASE. Perform DTC Confirmation Test. See DTC CONFIRMATION TEST  . If 1st trip DTC is detected again, go to step  6 . If 1st trip DTC is not detected, system is okay at this time.
  5. Turn ignition on. Select MODE 4 with generic scan tool and clear DTCs. Perform DTC CONFIRMATION TEST  . If 1st trip DTC is detected again, go to next step. If 1st trip DTC is not detected, system is okay at this time.
  6. Replace ECM. See ENGINE CONTROL MODULE under COMPUTERIZED ENGINE CONTROLS in REMOVAL & INSTALLATION - EXCEPT I35 & QX4 article. Perform ACCELERATOR PEDAL RELEASED POSITION LEARNING  , THROTTLE VALVE CLOSED POSITION LEARNING  and IDLE AIR VOLUME LEARNING  procedures under PROGRAMMING.
