CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 76

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 77

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 78

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 80

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 81

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 82

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 83

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 84

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Blower Motor Relay > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 85

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 118

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 119

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 122

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 123

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 124

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 125

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 126

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — HVAC > Control Module HVAC > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 127

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 203

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 204

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 205

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 207

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 208

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 209

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 210

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 211

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 212

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Power Distribution Module: Description and Operation
IPDM E/R (INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE ENGINE ROOM)
System Description
— IPDM E/R (Intelligent Power Distribution Module Engine Room) integrates the relay box and fuse
block which were originally placed in engine compartment. It controls integrated relay via IPDM E/R
control circuit.
— IPDM E/R-integrated control circuit performs ON-OFF operation of relay, CAN communication
control, oil pressure switch signal, and hood switch signal reception, etc.
— It controls operation of each electrical part via ECM, BCM and CAN communication lines.
CAUTION: None of the IPDM E/R-integrated relays can be removed.
SYSTEMS CONTROLLED BY IPDM E/R
1. Lamp control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signal from BCM and controls the following lamps: Head lamps (Hi, Lo)
— Parking lamps
— Tail lamps
— Front fog lamps
2. Wiper control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from BCM and controls the front wipers.
3. Rear window defogger relay control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from BCM and controls the rear window
defogger relay.

4. A/C compressor control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from ECM and controls the A/C relay.
5. Cooling fan control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from ECM and controls cooling fan relay.
6. Horn control
Using CAN communication line, it receives signals from BCM and controls horn relay.
CAN COMMUNICATION LINE CONTROL
With CAN communication, by connecting each control unit using two communication lines (CAN
L-line, CAN H-line), it is possible to transmit maximum amount of information with minimum wiring.
Each control unit can transmit and receive data, and reads necessary information only.
1. Fail-safe control
— When CAN communication with other control units is impossible, IPDM E/R performs fail-safe
control. After CAN communication recovers normally, it also returns to normal control.
— Operation of control parts by IPDM E/R during fail-safe mode is as follows:
IPDM E/R STATUS CONTROL
In order to save power, IPDM E/R switches status by itself based on each operating condition.
1. CAN communication status

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Power and Ground Distribution > Power
Distribution Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 228

— CAN communication is normally performed with other control units.
— Individual unit control by IPDM E/R is normally performed.
— When sleep request signal is received from BCM, mode is switched to sleep waiting status.
2. Sleep waiting status
— Process to stop CAN communication is activated.
— All systems controlled by IPDM E/R are stopped. When 3 seconds have elapsed after CAN
communication with other control units is stopped, mode switches to sleep status.
3. Sleep status
— IPDM E/R operates in low power mode.
— CAN communication is stopped.
— When a change in CAN communication line is detected, mode switches to CAN communication
status.
— When a change hood switch or ignition switch signal is detected, mode switches to CAN
communication status.
CAN Communication System Description
CAN (Controller Area Network) is a serial communication line for real time application. It is an
on-vehicle multiplex communication line with high data communication speed and excellent error
detection ability. Modern vehicles are equipped with many electronic control units and each control
unit shares information and links with other control units during operation (not independent). In
CAN communication, control units are connected with 2 communication lines (CAN H line, CAN L
line) allowing a high rate of information transmission with less wiring. Each control unit
transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only.
CAN Communication Unit
Refer to «CAN Communication Unit».

Auto Active Test
DESCRIPTION
In auto active test mode, operation inspection can be performed when IPDM E/R sends a drive
signal to the following systems:
— Rear window defogger
— Front wipers
— Tail lamps, parking lamps and license plate lamps
— Front fog lamps
— Headlamps (Hi, Lo)
— A/C compressor (magnetic clutch)
— Cooling fan
OPERATION PROCEDURE
1. Close hood and front door (passenger side) and then lift wiper arms away from windshield (to
prevent glass damage by wiper operation).
NOTE: When auto active test is performed with hood opened, sprinkle water on windshield
beforehand.
2. Turn ignition switch OFF. 3. Turn ignition switch ON, and within 20 seconds, press drivers door
switch 10 times (close other doors). Then turn ignition switch OFF. 4. Turn ignition switch ON within
10 seconds after ignition switch OFF. 5. When auto active test mode is actuated, horn chirps once.

auto active test is completed.

NOTE: When auto active test mode has to be cancelled halfway, turn ignition switch OFF.
CAUTION: Be sure to inspect «Check Door Switch» when the auto active test cannot be performed.
INSPECTION IN AUTO ACTIVE TEST MODE
When auto active test mode is actuated, the following eight steps are repeated three times.
Concept of Auto Active Test
— IPDM E/R actuates auto active test mode when it receives door switch signal from BCM via CAN
communication line. Therefore, when auto active test mode is activated successfully, CAN
communication between IPDM E/R and BCM is normal.
— If any of systems controlled by IPDM E/R cannot be operated, possible cause can be easily
diagnosed using auto active test.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 284

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 285

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Instructions > Page 286

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 288

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 289

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 290

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 291

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 292

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 293

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
System Description
— BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the
vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION
BCM has combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches
(light, wiper, washer, turn signal) in addition to a function for controlling the operation of various
electrical components. Also it has an interface function allowing it to receive signals from the
combination meter, and send signals to ECM using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
— BCM reads combination switch (lighting switch, wiper switch) status, and controls various
electrical component according to the result.
— BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals
(OUTPUT 1-5) and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).

Operation description
— BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically, and allows current to
flow in turn.
— If any (1 or more) switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input
terminals (INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
— At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow.
When voltage of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in
BCM detects voltage change, and BCM determines that switch is ON.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Application and ID > Page 313

Operation table of BCM and combination switches
Sample operation: (When lighting switch 1ST position turned ON)
— When lighting switch 1ST position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this
time if OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5.
— When OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges
that lighting switch 1ST position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp and clearance lamp request
signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communication.
— When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5,
and recognizes that lighting switch 1ST position is continuously ON.
NOTE: Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is
turned ON, electrical loads are activated with time delay. But this time delay is so short that it
cannot be detected by human senses.
Operation mode
— Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown here.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Application and ID > Page 314

1. Normal status
— When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) send out ON signal every 10 ms.
2. Sleep status
— When BCM is in sleep status, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters
low power mode. Mean while OUTPUT 2, 3, and 4 send out ON signal every 60 ms, and accept
only input from lighting switch system.
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
CAN communication allows a high rate of information transmission through the two communication
lines (CAN L line, CAN H line) connecting the various control units in the system. Each control unit
transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details of signals that are
transmitted/received by BCM via CAN communication, refer to «INFORMATION BUS».
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
1. CAN communication status
— With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.
— Control by BCM is being operated properly.

— When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.
— Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter
is active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep transient status
— This status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.
— It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.
Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to
inactive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status
— With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.
— With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.
— Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches
to inactive status.
4. Sleep status
— BCM is activated with low power mode.
— CAN communication is not active.

— When CAN communication operation is detected, it switches to CAN communication status.

— When a state of the following switches changes, it switches to CAN communication state. Key switch
— Hazard switch
— Door lock/unlock switch
— Front door switch (driver side, passenger side)
— Rear door switch (LH, RH)
— Trunk lid opener switch
— Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1ST position, front fog lamp)
— Key fob (lock/unlock signal)
— Key cylinder switch
— When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts to CAN communication
inactive mode.
— Status of combination switch reading function is changed.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 345

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 346

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Information and Instructions > Page 347

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 349

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Information and Instructions > Page 351

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 352

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 353

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 354

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

ECM REPROGRAM INTERRUPTION RECOVERY PROCEDURE
SERVICE INFORMATION
A complete step-by-step General Procedure for CONSULT-III (C-III) ECM Reprogram Interruption
Recovery is now available in this bulletin as a attachment.
While performing ECM (Engine Control Module) reprogramming, the reprogramming may stop
(become interrupted) before it is 100% complete. One of two messages may appear:
^ The VI probe is disconnected on USB, please check the connection of the probe.
^ Reprogramming fail, «Error code 0».
In many cases, reprogramming recovery is possible and the ECM may not need to be replaced if
the complete ECM part number has been registered into the ECM before reprogramming stopped.
NOTE:
ECM is referred to as ECU in C-III.
The ECM Reprogram Interruption Recovery General Procedure applies to Technical Service
Bulletins that include ECM reprogramming published in April 2010 and later.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING REPROGRAMMING
^ Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery.
^ Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
^ For ECM reprogramming, the C-III MUST be connected to the VI using the USB cable.
^ Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.

Service Procedure
Check NATS On The Vehicle
1. Check to see if the vehicle you’re working on has ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0.
a. If the vehicle has ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0 it will NOT start after you install a service
replacement ECM. So you’ll have to re-register all ignition keys including spare keys with
CONSULT-II and the purple NATS card. After you do this proceed with step 2.
^ If you do not know how to re-register the keys refer to the ESM for the NATS key re-registration
procedure.
b. If the vehicle has BCM based NATS (instead of ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0) you do NOT
have to re-register the ignition or spare keys. Proceed with step 2.
Check For ECM Data Updates in ASIST
2. In ASIST select [CONSULT Utilities] >> [ECM/TCM Data]. Then choose Model and Model Year
(see Figure 1).
3. Look for ECM Data Updates (listed by ECM P/Ns and vehicle configuration) in the top center
display panel of the ASIST screen (see Figure 1).

a. If there is no updates listed for your vehicle configuration you do NOT have to reprogram the
service replacement ECM. Proceed with step 5.
b. If there is updates listed for your vehicle configuration see if they apply to the service
replacement ECM you’re going to install. Do this by performing step 4.
4. Select the configuration on the screen for the vehicle you’re working on. Then confirm that your
ECM is listed in the «Replaces 23710-XXXXX, -XXXXX etc» section in the lower center Details
panel of the ASIST screen (see Figure 1).
a. If your ECM is listed in the Details panel you must reprogram the ECM with the latest data
update. After you do this proceed with step 5.
CAUTION:
The 1999-2000 Q45 and 1999-2000 QX4 have a gray CONSULT connector AND a white GST
connector. Do NOT attempt to perform the ECM Reprogramming procedure with CONSULT-II
connected to the gray CONSULT connector. See the appropriate ESM for further details if
necessary.
b. If your ECM is NOT listed in the Details panel you do NOT have to reprogram the ECM. Proceed
with step 5.

ECM REPROGRAM INTERRUPTION RECOVERY PROCEDURE
SERVICE INFORMATION
A complete step-by-step General Procedure for CONSULT-III (C-III) ECM Reprogram Interruption
Recovery is now available in this bulletin as a attachment.
While performing ECM (Engine Control Module) reprogramming, the reprogramming may stop
(become interrupted) before it is 100% complete. One of two messages may appear:
^ The VI probe is disconnected on USB, please check the connection of the probe.
^ Reprogramming fail, «Error code 0».
In many cases, reprogramming recovery is possible and the ECM may not need to be replaced if
the complete ECM part number has been registered into the ECM before reprogramming stopped.
NOTE:
ECM is referred to as ECU in C-III.
The ECM Reprogram Interruption Recovery General Procedure applies to Technical Service
Bulletins that include ECM reprogramming published in April 2010 and later.
IMPORTANT: BEFORE STARTING REPROGRAMMING
^ Connect a battery charger to the vehicle battery.
^ Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads.
^ For ECM reprogramming, the C-III MUST be connected to the VI using the USB cable.
^ Be sure to connect the AC Adapter.

Service Procedure
Check NATS On The Vehicle
1. Check to see if the vehicle you’re working on has ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0.
a. If the vehicle has ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0 it will NOT start after you install a service
replacement ECM. So you’ll have to re-register all ignition keys including spare keys with
CONSULT-II and the purple NATS card. After you do this proceed with step 2.
^ If you do not know how to re-register the keys refer to the ESM for the NATS key re-registration
procedure.
b. If the vehicle has BCM based NATS (instead of ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0) you do NOT
have to re-register the ignition or spare keys. Proceed with step 2.
Check For ECM Data Updates in ASIST

(see Figure 1).
3. Look for ECM Data Updates (listed by ECM P/Ns and vehicle configuration) in the top center
display panel of the ASIST screen (see Figure 1).

a. If there is no updates listed for your vehicle configuration you do NOT have to reprogram the
service replacement ECM. Proceed with step 5.
b. If there is updates listed for your vehicle configuration see if they apply to the service
replacement ECM you’re going to install. Do this by performing step 4.
4. Select the configuration on the screen for the vehicle you’re working on. Then confirm that your
ECM is listed in the «Replaces 23710-XXXXX, -XXXXX etc» section in the lower center Details
panel of the ASIST screen (see Figure 1).
a. If your ECM is listed in the Details panel you must reprogram the ECM with the latest data
update. After you do this proceed with step 5.
CAUTION:
The 1999-2000 Q45 and 1999-2000 QX4 have a gray CONSULT connector AND a white GST
connector. Do NOT attempt to perform the ECM Reprogramming procedure with CONSULT-II
connected to the gray CONSULT connector. See the appropriate ESM for further details if
necessary.
b. If your ECM is NOT listed in the Details panel you do NOT have to reprogram the ECM. Proceed
with step 5.

In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires, with different weight are used.

— A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a «detectable line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Code)». A «detectable line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with the on
board diagnostic system.
— A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a «non-detectable line for DTC». A «non-detectable
line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board diagnostic
system.
Multiple Switch
The continuity of multiple switch is described in two ways as shown here.
— The switch chart is used in schematic diagrams.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 490

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 491

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

and Instructions > Page 492

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 494

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 495

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 496

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 497

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 498

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 499

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 625

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 626

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 629

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 630

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 631

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 632

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 633

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Control
Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 634

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 667

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 668

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 671

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 672

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 673

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 674

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 675

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Relays and Modules > Relays and Modules — Windows and Glass > Power Window Relay >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 676

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 775

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 776

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 779

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 780

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 781

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 782

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 783

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Brakes and Traction Control > Traction
Control Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 784

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Traction Control Switch: Description and Operation
SNOW MODE SWITCH
Description
The snow mode switch signal is sent to the combination meter from the snow mode switch. The
combination meter then sends the signal to the ECM by CAN communication line.
The snow mode is used for driving or starting the vehicle on snowy roads or slippery areas. If the
snow mode is activated, the vehicle speed will not be accelerated immediately than your original
pedal in due to avoid the vehicle slip. In other words, ECM controls the rapid engine torque change
by controlling the electric throttle control actuator operating speed.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System > Engine — Coolant
Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 842

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 843

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System > Engine — Coolant
Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 846

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 847

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 848

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System > Engine — Coolant
Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 849

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System > Engine — Coolant
Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 851

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Brake Switch (Cruise
Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 892

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Brake Switch (Cruise
Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 893

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 896

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 897

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Brake Switch (Cruise
Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 898

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Brake Switch (Cruise
Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 899

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Brake Switch (Cruise
Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 900

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Brake Switch (Cruise
Control) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 901

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 965

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 966

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 969

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 970

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 971

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 972

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Cruise Control > Cruise Control Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 973

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Ambient Temperature Sensor /
Switch HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1017

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Ambient Temperature Sensor /
Switch HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1018

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Ambient Temperature Sensor /
Switch HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1021

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Ambient Temperature Sensor /
Switch HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1022

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Ambient Temperature Sensor /
Switch HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1024

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Ambient Temperature Sensor /
Switch HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1025

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Ambient Temperature Sensor /
Switch HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1026

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Ambient Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Ambient Sensor
The ambient sensor is attached on the ambient sensor bracket. It detects ambient temperature and
converts it into a resistance value which is then input into the display and A/C auto amp.
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE INPUT PROCESS
The display and A/C auto amp. includes a processing circuit for the ambient sensor input.
However, when the temperature detected by the ambient sensor increases quickly, the processing
circuit retards the display and A/C auto amp. function. It only allows the display and A/C auto amp.
to recognize an ambient temperature increase of 0.33 °C (0.6 °F) per 100 seconds.
As an example, consider stopping for a few minutes after high speed driving. Although the actual
ambient temperature has not changed, the temperature detected by the ambient sensor will
increase. This is because the heat from the engine compartment can radiate to the front grille area,
location of the ambient sensor.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1076

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1077

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1078

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1080

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1081

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1082

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1083

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1084

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — HVAC > Refrigerant Pressure Sensor /
Switch, HVAC > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1085

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Solar Sensor: Description and Operation
Sunload Sensor Circuit
COMPONENT DESCRIPTION
Sunload Sensor
The sunload sensor is located on the driver’s side defroster grille. It detects sunload entering
through windshield by means of a photo diode. The sensor converts the sunload into a current
value which is then input into the display and A/C auto amp.
SUNLOAD INPUT PROCESS
The display and A/C auto amp. also includes a processing circuit which averages the variations in
detected sunload over a period of time. This prevents drastic swings in the ATC system operation
due to small or quick variations in detected sunload.
For example, consider driving along a road bordered by an occasional group of large trees. The
sunload detected by the sunload sensor will vary whenever the trees obstruct the sunlight. The
processing circuit averages the detected sunload over a period of time, so that the (insignificant)
effect of the trees momentarily obstructing the sunlight does not cause any change in the ATC
system operation. On the other hand, shortly after entering a long tunnel, the system will recognize
the change in sunload, and the system will react accordingly.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagnostic Aids > Page 1161

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagnostic Aids > Page 1162

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagnostic Aids > Page 1165

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagnostic Aids > Page 1166

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion

The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagnostic Aids > Page 1168

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagnostic Aids > Page 1169

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Brake Light Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagnostic Aids > Page 1170

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1209

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1210

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1211

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1213

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1214

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1215

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1216

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1217

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Lighting and Horns > Combination Switch >
Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1218

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1280

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1281

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1284

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1285

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1286

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1287

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1288

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1289

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
APP SENSOR
Component Description
The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal
assembly. The sensor detects the accelerator position and sends a signal to the ECM.
Accelerator pedal position sensor has two sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers
which transform the accelerator pedal position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to
the ECM.
In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the accelerator pedal and feed
the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal
from these signals and controls the throttle control motor based on these signals.
Idle position of the accelerator pedal is determined by the ECM receiving the signal from the
accelerator pedal position sensor. The ECM uses this signal for the engine operation such as fuel
cut.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1334

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1335

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1336

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1338

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1339

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1340

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1341

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1342

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information
> Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1343

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MAF SENSOR
Component Description
The mass air flow sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It measures the intake flow rate by
measuring a part of the entire intake flow. The mass air flow sensor controls the temperature of the
hot wire is to a certain amount. The heat generated by the hot wire is reduced as the intake air
flows around it. The more air, the greater the heat loss.
Therefore, the electric current supplied to hot wire is changed to maintain the temperature of the
hot wire as air flow increases. The ECM detects the air flow by means of this current change.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1385

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1386

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1389

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1390

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1391

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1392

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1394

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CMP SENSOR (PHASE)
Component Description
The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) senses the retraction of camshaft (INT) to identify a
particular cylinder. The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) senses the piston position.
When the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoperative, the camshaft position
sensor (PHASE) provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder
identification signals.

The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to
change.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1435

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1436

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1439

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1440

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1441

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1442

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1443

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1444

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

ECT SENSOR
Component Description
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine coolant temperature. The
sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the
engine coolant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in
temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
CAUTION: Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may
result in damage to the ECM’s transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the
ground.

In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires, with different weight are used.

— A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a «detectable line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Code)». A «detectable line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with the on
board diagnostic system.
— A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a «non-detectable line for DTC». A «non-detectable
line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board diagnostic
system.
Multiple Switch
The continuity of multiple switch is described in two ways as shown here.
— The switch chart is used in schematic diagrams.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1481

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1482

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1485

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1486

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1487

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1488

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1489

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1490

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CKP SENSOR (POS)
Component Description
The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is located on the oil pan facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the
signal plate. It detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to
change. The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.

The ECM receives the voltage signal and detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1540

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1541

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1544

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1545

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1546

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1547

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)

— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.

voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Intake Air Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1549

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1587

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1590

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1591

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1592

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1593

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1594

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1595

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Procedure

Classification: EM09-016
Reference: ITB10-008
Date: January 19, 2010
REMOVAL PROCEDURE FOR SEIZED EXHAUST SENSOR
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Infiniti vehicles
SERVICE INFORMATION
If an exhaust sensor is seized in the exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube perform the procedure
described in this bulletin to remove the sensor and prevent unnecessary replacement of the
exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube.
In most cases this procedure is successful. This is because the threads of the exhaust sensors are
made of a softer material than the part they thread into on the exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube.
NOTE:
The replacement of exhaust manifolds/catalysts/front tubes for stripped exhaust sensor threads
may not be considered a warrantable expense.
This procedure can be performed by two methods:
Method # 1. If the Sensor Can Be Easily Accessed
^ The procedure can be performed on the vehicle.
^ The exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube will not have to be removed.
Method # 2. If the Sensor Cannot Be Easily Accessed
^ The exhaust manifold/catalyst/front tube must be removed from the vehicle.
^ The procedure will be performed with the part clamped in a vice.
Method # 2 is described in this bulletin. Method # 1 is the same as Method # 2 except that it is
performed on the vehicle.
SERVICE PROCEDURE

Recommended rust penetrants to be used in this procedure:
NOTES:
^ Rust penetrant is considered a shop supply.
^ Nissan Rust Penetrant can be ordered through the Nissan Direct Ship Chemical Care Product
Program: Website order via link on dealer portal.
^ WD-40 is available from various local sources.
Removal Tool
^ When removing a seized exhaust sensor with a specialty socket (which contains a slit to
accommodate the wiring harness) it may spread open and strip the sensor.

^ Before this occurs it is recommended to cut the wiring harness from the sensor and use a box
end wrench or 6-point deep well socket.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1640

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1641

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1642

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1644

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1645

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1646

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1647

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1648

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Oxygen Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 1649

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Oxygen Sensor: Description and Operation
HO2S2 HEATER
Description
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ECM performs ON/OFF control of the heated oxygen sensor 2 heater corresponding to the
engine speed, amount of intake air and engine coolant temperature.
OPERATION
HO2S2

Component Description
The heated oxygen sensor 2, after three way catalyst 1, monitors the oxygen level in the exhaust
gas on each bank.
Even if switching characteristics of the air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 are shifted, the air-fuel ratio is
controlled to stoichiometric, by the signal from the heated oxygen sensor 2.
This sensor is made of ceramic zirconia. The zirconia generates voltage from approximately 1 V in
richer conditions to 0 V in leaner conditions.
Under normal conditions the heated oxygen sensor 2 is not used for engine control operation.
A/F SENSOR 1 HEATER

The ECM performs ON/OFF duty control of the A/F sensor 1 heater corresponding to the engine
operating condition to keep the temperature of A/F sensor 1 element at the specified range.
A/F SENSOR 1
Component Description

The air fuel ratio (A/F) sensor 1 is a planar dual-cell limit current sensor. The sensor element of the
A/F sensor 1 is the combination of a Nernst concentration cell (sensor cell) with an oxygen-pump
cell, which transports ions. It has a heater in the element.
The sensor is capable of precise measurement Lambda = 1, but also in the lean and rich range.
Together with its control electronics, the sensor outputs a clear, continuous signal throughout a
wide Lambda range (0.7 < Lambda < air).
The exhaust gas components diffuse through the diffusion gap at the electrode of the oxygen pump
and Nernst concentration cell, where they are brought to thermodynamic balance.
An electronic circuit controls the pump current through the oxygenpump cell so that the
composition of the exhaust gas in the diffusion gap remains constant at Lambda = 1. Therefore, the
A/F sensor 1 is able to indicate air/fuel ratio by this pumping of current. In addition, a heater is
integrated in the sensor to ensure the required operating temperature of 700 — 800 °C (1,292 1,472 °F).

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1697

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1698

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1699

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1701

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1702

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1703

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1704

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1705

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1706

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1741

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1742

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1745

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1746

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1747

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1748

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1749

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1750

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
TP SENSOR
Component Description
Electric throttle control actuator consists of throttle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc. The
throttle position sensor responds to the throttle valve movement.
The throttle position sensor has two sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers which
transform the throttle valve position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the ECM. In
addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feed the
voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from
these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening
angle properly in response to driving condition.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1788

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1789

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1792

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1794

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1795

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1796

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1797

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1836

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1837

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1838

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1840

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1841

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1842

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1843

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1844

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Emission Control Systems > Evaporative Vapor Pressure Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1845

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1883

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1884

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1887

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1888

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1889

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1890

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1891

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1892

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor: Description and Operation
APP SENSOR
Component Description
The accelerator pedal position sensor is installed on the upper end of the accelerator pedal
assembly. The sensor detects the accelerator position and sends a signal to the ECM.
Accelerator pedal position sensor has two sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers
which transform the accelerator pedal position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to
the ECM.
In addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the accelerator pedal and feed
the voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the accelerator pedal
from these signals and controls the throttle control motor based on these signals.
Idle position of the accelerator pedal is determined by the ECM receiving the signal from the
accelerator pedal position sensor. The ECM uses this signal for the engine operation such as fuel
cut.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1941

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1942

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1943

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1944

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1945

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Mass Air Flow Sensor <—> [Air Flow Meter/Sensor] > Component Information >
Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 1946

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Mass Air Flow Sensor: Description and Operation
MAF SENSOR
Component Description
The mass air flow sensor is placed in the stream of intake air. It measures the intake flow rate by
measuring a part of the entire intake flow. The mass air flow sensor controls the temperature of the
hot wire is to a certain amount. The heat generated by the hot wire is reduced as the intake air
flows around it. The more air, the greater the heat loss.
Therefore, the electric current supplied to hot wire is changed to maintain the temperature of the
hot wire as air flow increases. The ECM detects the air flow by means of this current change.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1983

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1984

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1987

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1988

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1989

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1990

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1991

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Fuel Temperature Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 1992

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Fuel Temperature Sensor: Description and Operation
FTT SENSOR
Component Description
The fuel tank temperature sensor is used to detect the fuel temperature inside the fuel tank. The
sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the fuel
temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in temperature.
The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
CAUTION: Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may
result in damage to the ECM’s transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the
ground.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2027

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2028

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2031

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2032

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2033

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2034

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.

— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2035

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Fuel Delivery and Air Induction > Throttle Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 2036

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Throttle Position Sensor: Description and Operation
TP SENSOR
Component Description
Electric throttle control actuator consists of throttle control motor, throttle position sensor, etc. The
throttle position sensor responds to the throttle valve movement.
The throttle position sensor has two sensors. These sensors are a kind of potentiometers which
transform the throttle valve position into output voltage, and emit the voltage signal to the ECM. In
addition, these sensors detect the opening and closing speed of the throttle valve and feed the
voltage signals to the ECM. The ECM judges the current opening angle of the throttle valve from
these signals and the ECM controls the throttle control motor to make the throttle valve opening
angle properly in response to driving condition.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2080

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2081

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2082

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2084

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2085

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2086

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2087

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2088

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Camshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2089

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.

Camshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CMP SENSOR (PHASE)
Component Description
The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) senses the retraction of camshaft (INT) to identify a
particular cylinder. The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) senses the piston position.
When the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoperative, the camshaft position
sensor (PHASE) provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder
identification signals.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.

When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to
change.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2128

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2129

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2132

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2133

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2134

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2135

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2136

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Crankshaft Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2137

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Crankshaft Position Sensor: Description and Operation
CKP SENSOR (POS)
Component Description
The crankshaft position sensor (POS) is located on the oil pan facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the
signal plate. It detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to
change. The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.

The ECM receives the voltage signal and detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2174

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Switches — Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2175

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2178

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Switches — Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2179

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))

Switches — Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2181

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Switches — Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2182

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Ignition System > Knock Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions >
Page 2183

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

versions of this bulletin.
CAMPAIGN ID #: R1019
NHTSA #: 10V-175
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2005 G35 Sedan (V35) 2005 G35 Coupe (CV35)
Check Service COMM to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION On some model year 2005 G35 vehicles, the harness connector for the Belt
Tension Sensor (BTS) may develop increased electrical resistance due to excessive movement. If
this occurs, the red air bag warning lamp will illuminate (flash) on the dash to warn the driver. To
remedy this potential condition, Infiniti is conducting this Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to
secure the BTS harness connector.
In addition to the above recall campaign, Nissan is also conducting a voluntary service campaign to
address the Side Air Bag (SAB) connector. On some model year 2005 G35 vehicles, the
seat-mounted side air bags could stop working due to a connector issue. If this occurs, a red air
bag warning lamp would illuminate (flash) on the dash to warn the driver. To remedy this potential
condition, Infiniti will relocate and secure the seat-mounted side air bag connectors.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Infiniti has assigned identification number R1019 to this campaign.
This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this
campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service Comm for the
campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any
reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or
presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory. Federal law requires
that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior
to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Infiniti strongly encourages dealers
to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.

Seat Belt Tension Sensor: Recalls Recall 10V175000: Occupant Sensor Harness Corrosion

VEHICLE MAKE/MODEL: MODEL YEAR(S): Infiniti/G35 Coupe 2005-2007 Infiniti/G35 Sedan
2005-2006 MANUFACTURER: Nissan North America, Inc.
MFR’S REPORT DATE: April 20, 2010
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 10V175000
NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: N/A COMPONENT: Air Bags
POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 134215
SUMMARY: Nissan is recalling certain model year 2005 through 2007 Infiniti G35 Sedans
manufactured from March 29, 2004 through August 25, 2006 and Infiniti G35 Coupes
manufactured from April 1, 2004 through May 30, 2007. The wire harness connecting the Belt
Tension Sensor (BTS) and the Occupant Detection Sensor (ODS) control unit under the front
passenger seat can experience relative movement which can cause wear and oxidization of the
terminals and may cause interruption of the signal.
CONSEQUENCE: In the event of a crash, the airbag may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.
REMEDY: Nissan has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan or notification schedule.
NOTES: Owners may also contact The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s Vehicle
Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2005 G35 SEAT BELT TENSION SENSOR
HARNESS CONNECTOR
AND
VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN 2005 G35 SEAT MOUNTED SIDE AIR BAG HARNESS
CONNECTOR
This bulletin has been amended. The Parts Information has been updated. Please discard previous
versions of this bulletin.
CAMPAIGN ID #: R1019
NHTSA #: 10V-175
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2005 G35 Sedan (V35) 2005 G35 Coupe (CV35)
Check Service COMM to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION On some model year 2005 G35 vehicles, the harness connector for the Belt
Tension Sensor (BTS) may develop increased electrical resistance due to excessive movement. If
this occurs, the red air bag warning lamp will illuminate (flash) on the dash to warn the driver. To
remedy this potential condition, Infiniti is conducting this Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to
secure the BTS harness connector.
In addition to the above recall campaign, Nissan is also conducting a voluntary service campaign to
address the Side Air Bag (SAB) connector. On some model year 2005 G35 vehicles, the
seat-mounted side air bags could stop working due to a connector issue. If this occurs, a red air
bag warning lamp would illuminate (flash) on the dash to warn the driver. To remedy this potential
condition, Infiniti will relocate and secure the seat-mounted side air bag connectors.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Infiniti has assigned identification number R1019 to this campaign.
This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this
campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service Comm for the
campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any
reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or
presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory. Federal law requires
that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior
to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Infiniti strongly encourages dealers
to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.

Seat Occupant Sensor: Description and Operation
Occupant Classification System
The occupant classification system identifies different size occupants, out of position occupants,
and detects if child seat is present in the front passenger seat. The occupant classification system
receives inputs from the occupant classification sensor (located inside the passenger seat cushion
assembly) and belt tension sensor (part of the passenger front seat belt assembly and located at
the belt anchor location). Depending on classification of passenger, the occupant classification
system sends a signal to the diagnosis sensor unit. The diagnosis sensor unit uses this signal to
determine full, partial, or non deployment of passenger front air bag in the event of a collision.
Depending on the signal received, the diagnosis sensor unit can disable the passenger front air
bag completely. If this occurs the diagnosis sensor unit will turn on the PASS AIR BAG OFF
indicator.

In some wiring diagrams, two kinds of lines, representing wires, with different weight are used.
— A line with regular weight (wider line) represents a «detectable line for DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Code)». A «detectable line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with the on
board diagnostic system.
— A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a «non-detectable line for DTC». A «non-detectable
line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board diagnostic
system.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2323

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2324

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2327

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2328

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2329

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2330

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2331

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Starting and Charging > Neutral Safety Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2332

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2371

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2372

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2375

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2376

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2377

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2378

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2379

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Steering and Suspension > Sensors and
Switches — Steering > Power Steering Pressure Switch > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 2380

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,

If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and
Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2442

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2443

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and
Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2446

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and
Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2447

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and
Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2448

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and
Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2449

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and
Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2450

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Transmission and Drivetrain > Sensors and
Switches — A/T > Transmission Position Switch/Sensor, A/T > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information
and Instructions > Page 2451

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Windows and Glass > Power Window Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2510

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2511

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Windows and Glass > Power Window Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2514

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Windows and Glass > Power Window Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2515

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Windows and Glass > Power Window Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2516

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Windows and Glass > Power Window Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2517

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Sensors and Switches > Sensors and Switches — Windows and Glass > Power Window Switch
> Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 2519

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Interest: > 08-046C > Apr > 11 > Steering/Tires — Pull/Drift/Steering Wheel Off-Center > Page 2551

Customers may report that their vehicle’s steering wheel is «Off-center» because the steering wheel
spokes are tilted to the left or right when the vehicle continues straight ahead on a straight flat road
(see example in Figure 1).
If a vehicle’s steering wheel spokes are slightly off center while driving straight it may be the normal
result of road crown. Most roads in the United States are built with a «crown» to help rain water
drain from the road surface. The slope of the road crown varies from place to place.
Vehicles have a natural tendency to drift to the low side of the crown. The greater the slope of the
crown the faster the vehicle will drift in that direction.
Tires and vehicles are designed to counteract the effect of typical road crown but may not fully
counteract the effect of a highly crowned road.
Some freeways slope to both the left and right from the center. When driving on a freeway that
slopes in both directions a vehicle may exhibit a small amount of drift to the left when driving in the
left lane and a small amount of drift to the right when driving in the right lane.
This bulletin does not address road crown issues because they are not vehicle related, although
the customer may incorrectly perceive them to be.
Description/Definition of Steering Wheel «Off-center» Condition
The steering wheel spokes are tilted to the left or right 2 mm or more (see example in Figure 2)
when driving straight ahead on a straight flat road.
^ When driving straight on a highly crowned road the steering wheel may be turned (off-center) to
counteract the affect of the road crown. When road
testing for an off-center condition the vehicle should be driven on a straight flat road.
^ Although the vehicle does not pull in either direction the customer may perceive that the vehicle
pulls because it will respond if he or she tries to bring
the steering wheel back to center. This condition can occur if the tie rod length is uneven (not
adjusted correctly) from side to side.
Description/Definition of a Vehicle «Pull» Condition
The vehicle consistently drifts to one side while driving at a constant speed on a straight flat road.

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 08-046C > Apr > 11 > Steering/Tires — Pull/Drift/Steering Wheel Off-Center > Page 2585

Road Test
Determine if the vehicle has a pull or steering wheel off-center issue that requires repair.
IMPORTANT:
^ If the vehicle has any tire issues such as:
> Tires that are different sizes (except when specified from the factory)
> Significant difference in the amount of wear between any of the tires
> Any other tire irregularity or damage to any tire
Replace the tire(s) or use known good tires from another vehicle for all road tests and diagnostics
in this bulletin.
^ Make sure tire pressure is set to the correct specification.
1. Install the following measuring tools on the vehicle:
^ Steering Wheel Offset Gauge
^ Road Crown Gauge
NOTE:
Refer to Special Tools for a description of these tools and an explanation of their use.
2. Obtain a watch with a second hand (preferably a stopwatch) to use during the road test.
3. Take the vehicle for a road test and confirm the customers concern.
^ Select a flat road where the vehicle can be driven in a straight line at a preferred speed of 60
mph.
^ During the road test make sure the vehicle is pointing straight. Don’t worry about steering wheel
position during the road test.
NOTE:
^ If you adjusted the tire pressure or changed the tires before the road test the issue may have
been resolved.
^ If there are cross winds strong enough to affect the vehicle straight line movement then diagnosis
cannot be performed.
4. Determine the vehicles issue — refer to the definitions of «Pull» and Steering Wheel «Off-center»
below.
5. When the road test is completed remove the Road Crown Gauge; leave the Steering Wheel
Off-Set Gauge in place until the Service Procedure is complete.

Other Service Information

Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 08-046C > Apr > 11 > Steering/Tires — Pull/Drift/Steering Wheel Off-Center > Page 2586

Customers may report that their vehicle’s steering wheel is «Off-center» because the steering wheel
spokes are tilted to the left or right when the vehicle continues straight ahead on a straight flat road
(see example in Figure 1).
If a vehicle’s steering wheel spokes are slightly off center while driving straight it may be the normal
result of road crown. Most roads in the United States are built with a «crown» to help rain water
drain from the road surface. The slope of the road crown varies from place to place.
Vehicles have a natural tendency to drift to the low side of the crown. The greater the slope of the
crown the faster the vehicle will drift in that direction.
Tires and vehicles are designed to counteract the effect of typical road crown but may not fully
counteract the effect of a highly crowned road.
Some freeways slope to both the left and right from the center. When driving on a freeway that
slopes in both directions a vehicle may exhibit a small amount of drift to the left when driving in the
left lane and a small amount of drift to the right when driving in the right lane.
This bulletin does not address road crown issues because they are not vehicle related, although
the customer may incorrectly perceive them to be.
Description/Definition of Steering Wheel «Off-center» Condition
The steering wheel spokes are tilted to the left or right 2 mm or more (see example in Figure 2)
when driving straight ahead on a straight flat road.
^ When driving straight on a highly crowned road the steering wheel may be turned (off-center) to
counteract the affect of the road crown. When road
testing for an off-center condition the vehicle should be driven on a straight flat road.
^ Although the vehicle does not pull in either direction the customer may perceive that the vehicle
pulls because it will respond if he or she tries to bring
the steering wheel back to center. This condition can occur if the tie rod length is uneven (not
adjusted correctly) from side to side.
Description/Definition of a Vehicle «Pull» Condition
The vehicle consistently drifts to one side while driving at a constant speed on a straight flat road.

^ A vehicle is said to pull if it completes a lane change in less than 7 seconds (with no steering
correction from the driver) when driving at 60 MPH on a
road with less than 2 degrees of road crown slope. All four wheels must pass into the other lane
during this time (7 seconds).

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Alignment > System Information > Technical Service Bulletins > All Other
Service Bulletins for Alignment: > 04-021C > Apr > 11 > Steering/Suspension — Wheel Alignment Info. > Page 2624

^ DO NOT push/pull on the tire to perform the caster sweep.
7. Make sure the steering wheel is centered when performing toe-in measurements and
adjustments.
NOTE:
If you are using a Hunter alignment machine equipped with the WinToe-(R) Alignment Adjustment
System:
^ There is no need to lock the steering wheel. The WinToe(R) system is not affected by steering
system movement during the adjustment process.
^ Bumping the tire or re-centering the steering wheel when adjusting «near frozen» tie rods is not
necessary. This makes the adjustment process faster
and easier.
^ WinToe(R) eliminates the effect of lash in the steering system.

If you are using a John Bean alignment machine equipped with EZ Toe:
^ There is no need to lock the steering wheel. The EZ Toe system is not affected by steering
system movement during the adjustment process.
^ This software routine is an improved method of setting front toe making it easier to obtain a
centered steering wheel.
^ With EZ Toe it is possible to adjust toe with the steering wheel turned at any angle left or right.
This is helpful when setting toe on engine wall
mounted rack and pinion units.
IMPORTANT:
If during the alignment process the vehicle was lifted off of the rack; after lowering, make sure to
jounce (bounce) the vehicle before confirming adjustments are correct.
After you have checked and adjusted vehicle alignment
8. Print the BEFORE and AFTER measurements and attach them to the Repair Order.
9. Road test the vehicle to make sure the steering wheel is «centered» when driving on a straight
flat road.

12. Rev up the engine two or three times and make sure that idle speed and ignition timing are
within the specifications. 13. If idle speed and ignition timing are not within the specification, Idle Air
Volume Learning will not be carried out successfully. In this case, find
the cause of the incident by referring to the DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE below.
DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE
If Idle Air Volume Learning cannot be performed successfully, proceed as follows:
1. Check that throttle valve is fully closed. 2. Check PCV valve operation. 3. Check that
downstream of throttle valve is free from air leakage. 4. When the above three items check out OK,
engine component parts and their installation condition are questionable. Check and eliminate the
cause of the incident. It is useful to perform EC-146, «TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS — SPECIFICATION
VALUE». See: Powertrain Management/Computers and Control Systems/Testing and
Inspection/Monitors, Trips, Drive Cycles and Readiness Codes/Specification (SP) Value
5. If any of the following conditions occur after the engine has started, eliminate the cause of the

Compression Check: Testing and Inspection
On-Vehicle Service
CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE 1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it. 2. Release
fuel pressure. Refer to «FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE».
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during measurement. 4. Remove engine cover
with power tool. Refer to «INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR». 5. Remove ignition coil and spark

plug from each cylinder. Refer to «IGNITION COIL» and «SPARK PLUG (PLATINUM-TIPPED
TYPE)». 6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
7. Install compression tester with adapter onto spark plug hole.
^ Use compression gauge whose picking up end inserted to spark plug hole is smaller than 20 mm
(0.79 inch) in diameter. Otherwise, it may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
8. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to «START» for cranking. When the
gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression
pressure and engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each cylinder.
Compression pressure
CAUTION: Always use a fully changed battery to obtain specified engine speed.
^ If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.
^ If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated
with combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After the checking, measure the compression pressure again.
^ If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark
plug hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
^ If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged.
Check piston rings and replace if necessary.
^ If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be
malfunctioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.
^ If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression
remains low even after the addition of engine oil,

gaskets are leaking. In such a case, replace cylinder head gaskets.
9. After inspection is completed, install removed parts.
10. Start engine, and make sure that engine runs smoothly. 11. Perform trouble diagnosis. If DTC
appears, erase it. Refer to EC-93, «TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS». See: Powertrain

Checking For Refrigerant Leaks

Refrigerant: Testing and Inspection Checking For Refrigerant Leaks
Checking for Refrigerant Leaks
Perform a visual inspection of all refrigeration parts, fittings, hoses and components for signs of
A/C lubricant leakage, damage and corrosion. A/C lubricant leakage may indicate an area of
refrigerant leakage. Allow extra inspection time in these areas when using either an electronic
refrigerant leak detector or fluorescent dye leak detector.
If dye is observed, confirm the leak with an electronic refrigerant leak detector. It is possible a prior
leak was repaired and not properly cleaned.
When searching for leaks, do not stop when one leak is found but continue to check for additional
leaks at all system components and connections. When searching for refrigerant leaks using an
electronic leak detector, move the probe along the suspected leak area at 1 to 2 inches per second
and no further than 1/4 inch from the component.
CAUTION: Moving the electronic leak detector probe slower and closer to the suspected leak area
will improve the chances of finding a leak.
Checking System for Leaks Using the Fluorescent Leak Detector
1. Check A/C system for leaks using the UV lamp and safety goggles (J-42220) in a low sunlight
area (area without windows preferable). Illuminate
all components, fittings and lines. The dye will appear as a bright green/yellow area at the point of
leakage. Fluorescent dye observed at the evaporator drain opening indicates an evaporator core
assembly (tubes, core or expansion valve) leak.
2. If the suspected area is difficult to see, use an adjustable mirror or wipe the area with a clean
shop rag or cloth, with the UV lamp for dye residue. 3. After the leak is repaired, remove any
residual dye using dye cleaner (J-43872) to prevent future misdiagnosis. 4. Perform a system
performance check and verify the leak repair with an approved electronic refrigerant leak detector.
NOTE:

Other gases in the work area or substances on the A/C components, for example, anti-freeze,
windshield washer fluid, solvents and lubricants, may falsely trigger the leak detector. Make sure
the surfaces to be checked are clean. Clean with a dry cloth or blow off with shop air. Do not allow
the sensor tip of the detector to contact with any substance. This can also cause false readings and
may damage the detector.
Dye Injection
(This procedure is only necessary when recharging the system or when the compressor has seized
and was replaced.)
1. Check A/C system static (at rest) pressure. Pressure must be at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/sq.cm,
50 psi). 2. Pour one bottle (1/4 ounce / 7.4 cc) of the A/C refrigerant dye into the injector tool
(J-41459). 3. Connect the injector tool to the A/C LOW PRESSURE side service fitting. 4. Start
engine and switch A/C ON. 5. When the A/C operating (compressor running), inject one bottle (1/4
ounce / 7.4 cc) of fluorescent dye through the low-pressure service valve
using dye injector tool J-41459 (refer to the manufacture’s operating instructions).
6. With the engine still running, disconnect the injector tool from the service fitting.
CAUTION: Be careful the A/C system or replacing a component, pour the dye directly into the open
system connection and proceed with the service procedures.
7. Operate the A/C system for a minimum of 20 minutes to mix the dye with the system oil.
Depending on the leak size, operating conditions and
location of the leak, it may take from minutes to days for the dye to penetrate a leak and become
visible.
Electronic Refrigerant Leak Detector
PRECAUTIONS FOR HANDLING LEAK DETECTOR
When performing a refrigerant leak check, use an A/C leak detector (J-41995) or equivalent.
Ensure that the instrument is calibrated and set properly per

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Testing and Inspection >
Checking For Refrigerant Leaks > Page 2899

the operating instructions.
The leak detector is a delicate device. In order to use the leak detector properly, read the operating
instructions and perform any specified maintenance.
1. Position probe approximately 5 mm (3/16 in) away from point to be checked.
2. When testing, circle each fitting completely with probe.
3. Move probe along component approximately 25 to 50 mm (1 to 2 in)/sec.
CHECKING PROCEDURE
To prevent inaccurate or false readings, make sure there is no refrigerant vapor, shop chemicals,
or cigarette smoke in the vicinity of the vehicle.
Perform the leak test in calm area (low air/wind movement) so that the leaking refrigerant is not
dispersed.
1. Turn engine OFF. 2. Connect a suitable A/C manifold gauge set to the A/C service ports. 3.
Check if the A/C refrigerant pressure is at least 345 kPa (3.52 kg/sq.cm, 50 psi) above 16 °C (61
°F). If less than specification, recover/evacuate
and recharge the system with the specified amount of refrigerant.
NOTE: At temperatures below 16 °C (61 °F), leaks may not be detected since the system may not
reach 345 kPa (3.52 kg/sq.cm, 50 psi).
4. Perform the leak test from the high-pressure side (compressor discharge a to evaporator inlet g)
to the low-pressure side (evaporator drain hose h
to shaft seal m). Refer to ATC-142, «Components». See: Heating and Air
Conditioning/Diagrams/Exploded Views Perform a leak check for the following areas carefully.
Clean the component to be checked and move the leak detected probe completely around the
connection/component.
Compressor Check the fitting of high- and low- pressure flexible hoses, relief valve and shaft seal.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Fluids > Refrigerant > Component Information > Testing and Inspection >
Checking For Refrigerant Leaks > Page 2900

Condenser Check the fitting of high-pressure flexible hose and pipe, refrigerant pressure sensor.
Liquid tank Check the refrigerant connection.
Service valves Check all around the service valves. Ensure service valve caps are secured on the
service valves (to prevent leaks).
NOTE: After removing A/C manifold gauge set from service valves, wipe any residue from valves to
prevent any false readings by leak detector.
Cooling unit (Evaporator) With engine OFF, turn blower fan on «High» for at least 15 seconds to
dissipate any refrigerant trace in the cooling unit. Wait a minimum of 10 minutes accumulation time
(refer to the manufacturer’s recommended procedure for actual wait time) before inserting the leak
detector probe into the drain hose.
Keep the probe inserted for at least 10 seconds. Use caution not to contaminate the probe tip with
water or dirt that may be in the drain hose.
5. If a leak detector detects a leak, verify at least once by blowing compressed air into area of
suspected leak, then repeat check as outlined here. 6. Do not stop when one leak is found.
Continue to check for additional leaks at all system components.
If no leaks are found, perform steps 7-10.
7. Start engine. 8. Set the heater A/C control as follows;
a. A/C switch: ON b. MODE switch: VENT (Ventilation) c. Intake position: Recirculation d. Max.
cold temperature e. Fan speed: High
9. Run engine at 1,500 rpm for at least 2 minutes.
10. Turn engine off and perform leak check again following steps 4 through 6 above.
Refrigerant leaks should be checked immediately after stopping the engine. Begin with the leak
detector at the compressor. The pressure on the high-pressure side will gradually drop after
refrigerant circulation stops and pressure on the low-pressure side will gradually rise, as shown in
the graph. Some leaks are more easily detected when pressure is high.

11. Before connecting recovery/recycling recharging equipment to vehicle, check
recovery/recycling recharging equipment gauges.
No refrigerant pressure should be displayed. If pressure is displayed, recover refrigerant from
equipment lines and then check refrigerant purity.
12. Confirm refrigerant purity in supply tank using recovery/recycling recharging equipment and
refrigerant identifier. 13. Confirm refrigerant purity in vehicle A/C system using recovery/recycling
recharging equipment and refrigerant identifier. 14. Discharge A/C system using approved
refrigerant recovery equipment. Repair the leaking fitting or component if necessary. 15. Evacuate
and recharge A/C system and perform the leak test to confirm no refrigerant leaks. 16. Perform A/C
performance test to ensure system works properly.

The PTC thermistor generates heat in response to current flow. The temperature (and resistance)
of the thermistor element varies with current flow. Excessive current flow will cause the element’s
temperature to rise. When the temperature reaches a specified level, the electrical resistance will
rise sharply to control the circuit current. Reduced current flow will cause the element to cool.
Resistance falls accordingly and normal circuit current flow is allowed to resume.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light comes on for about 1 second and turns off.
This light warns of low tire pressure. INFINITI’s low tire pressure warning system is a tire pressure
monitoring system. It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to over-heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the
spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as
specified in the vehicle placard and Owner’s Manual.
The recommended inflation pressure may also be found on the Tire and Loading Information label.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure (lower than 25 psi: Sedan 17 inch and Coupe 17
inch wheel model / 27 psi: Sedan 18 inch wheel model / 28 psi: Coupe 18 and 19 inch wheel
model), the light will illuminate and the chime will sound for about 10 seconds.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Service and Repair TPMS Reset After Tire Rotation or Flat Repair
Tire Pressure Monitor Reset Procedure
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving).
The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) for several minutes to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.

Component Information > Description and Operation

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Description and Operation
LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
After the ignition switch is turned ON, this light comes on for about 1 second and turns off.
This light warns of low tire pressure. INFINITI’s low tire pressure warning system is a tire pressure
monitoring system. It monitors tire pressure of all tires except the spare. When the tire pressure
monitoring system warning light is lit, one or more of your tires is significantly under-inflated. You
should stop and check your tires as soon as possible, and inflate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire information placard. Driving on a significantly under-inflated tire
causes the tire to over-heat and can lead to tire failure. Under-inflation also reduces fuel efficiency
and tire tread life, and may affect the vehicle’s handling and stopping ability. Each tire, including the
spare, should be checked monthly when cold and set to the recommended inflation pressure as
specified in the vehicle placard and Owner’s Manual.
The recommended inflation pressure may also be found on the Tire and Loading Information label.
Low tire pressure warning
If the vehicle is being driven with low tire pressure (lower than 25 psi: Sedan 17 inch and Coupe 17
inch wheel model / 27 psi: Sedan 18 inch wheel model / 28 psi: Coupe 18 and 19 inch wheel
model), the light will illuminate and the chime will sound for about 10 seconds.

Low Tire Pressure Indicator: Service and Repair TPMS Reset After Tire Rotation or Flat Repair
Tire Pressure Monitor Reset Procedure
The TPMS will activate only when the vehicle is driven at speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h). Also,
this system may not detect a sudden drop in tire pressure (for example a flat tire while driving).
The low tire pressure warning light does not automatically turn off when the tire pressure is
adjusted. After the tire is inflated to the recommended pressure, the vehicle must be driven at
speeds above 16 MPH (25 km/h) for several minutes to activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire
pressure warning light. Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tire pressure.

TIRE MOUNTING INFORMATION
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Infiniti
SERVICE INFORMATION
^ When mounting tires to wheels it is important that the tire bead is seated correctly.
^ A tire bead that is not seated correctly may cause a vehicle vibration.
^ High performance tires and tires with shorter sidewalls (low aspect tires) may require more care
to make sure the tire bead is seated correctly.
^ Follow the Tire Mounting Tips in this bulletin.
Tire Mounting Tips:
NOTE:
These tips are not intended to be a complete instruction for mounting tires to wheels. Make sure to
read and follow the instruction for your specific tire service equipment.

1. Clean the tire bead with an approved rubber cleaning fluid.
^ Rubber cleaning fluid is a locally sourced common product used in the tire service process.
2. Clean the wheel (flange and bead seat area), see Figure 2. Make sure to clean off all rust and
corrosion.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3044

3. Apply an approved tire lubricant to the tire and wheel in the areas shown in Figures 1 and 2.
^ Tire lubricant is a locally sourced common product used in the tire service process.
Tire:
^ Apply lube to the inner bead only, of both beads.
^ Do not apply lube to the flange area (outer bead area)
NOTE:
Too much tire lubricant may allow the tire to slip on the rim while driving. If this occurs, the tire may
become un-balanced.
Wheel:
^ Apply lube to the Safety Humps and Bead Sealing area.
^ Do not apply lube to the flange area.
4. Before inflating the tire:
^ If there are «match-mount» marks on the tire and rim, align the marks.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3045

^ Make sure the tire is evenly positioned on the lower safety humps.
5. WARNING: Do not exceed the tire manufactures recommended bead seating inflation pressure.
Generally this is 40psi.
If the bead does not seat with the appropriate pressure:
a. Break down the tire/rim assembly.
b. Re-apply lubricant as shown in Figures 1 and 2 above.
c. Remount the tire.
6. After inflating the tires inspect the bead area.
^ Make sure bead is seated uniformly (the same) around the entire circumference of the wheel.
NOTE:
Many tires have Aligning Rings that will help confirm the bead is uniformly seated.
If uniform; bead is seated correctly.
If not uniform;
1. Break down the tire/rim assembly.
2. Re-apply lubricant as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
3. Remount the tire.

Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3046

7. After the tire/wheel is balanced, apply an index mark to the tire at the location of the valve stem
(see Figure 6).
^ This index mark will allow you to tell if the tire has slipped on the rim (see Figure 7).
Tire to Rim Slippage:
^ Too much tire lubricant may allow the tire to slip on the rim while driving. If this occurs, the tire
may become un-balanced.
^ Overtime the tire lubricate will dry, eliminating the lubricant as a cause of tire slippage.
^ Some tire lubricants may require up to 24 hours to completely dry.
^ If slippage occurs, the tire/wheel will need to be re-balanced.

TIRE PRESSURE INFORMATION FOR VEHICLES WITH TPMS
This bulletin has been amended. Information has been updated on each page. Please discard
previous versions of this bulletin.
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Infiniti vehicles with Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS)
SERVICE INFORMATION

The Low Tire Pressure Warning Lamp will illuminate (steady not flashing) if the tire pressure is low
in any of the four road tires.
^ This is not an indication of a malfunction. Rather it is a signal to the driver that the tire pressure in
the vehicle must be adjusted.
Tire pressure must be adjusted/corrected at or above the pressure shown on the TIRE AND
LOADING INFORMATION label before the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light will go OFF.
^ Regular tire pressure maintenance such as described in this bulletin is not covered under the
warranty.
The air pressure inside a tire can change due to several factors such as:
^ Seasonal temperature change
^ Tire temperature change due to driving
^ Natural pressure loss over time
Compensate for the above temperature factors when adjusting and setting tire pressure.
Each vehicle is equipped from the factory with a TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label.
This label lists the COLD tire pressure setting for the original tires on the specific vehicle.
NOTE: Tires are considered COLD after the vehicle has been parked for 3 or more hours or driven
less than 1 mile at moderate speeds.
When setting / adjusting tire pressure, make sure to use an accurate tire pressure gauge.
Use the following information for reference:

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3049

Temperature:
^ Tire pressure changes approximately 0.8 psi for every 10°F of temperature change. As
temperature decreases, pressure decreases.
^ Tire pressure may change 3 — 5 psi between a Cold reading and a reading taken just after the
vehicle has been driven for several miles.
^ Seasonal temperature change can result in tire pressure that is low enough to turn on the Low
Tire Pressure Warning Light.
Example 1 — Seasonal Temperature Change:
^ The temperature of the vehicle is 70°F after sitting in the shop.

^ Ambient temperature outside the shop is 30°F or will soon fall to 30°F due to seasonal change.
^ Recommended pressure on the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label is 35 psi.
^ The tire pressure should be compensated an additional +3 psi and adjusted to 38 psi to avoid
dropping below the label value when the vehicle
experiences cooler ambient air temperature.
^ Compensation should also be used in the PDI process as needed.
Example 2 — WARM Tires:
^ A vehicle arrives to the dealer after being driven across town.
^ The WARM tire pressure reading is 32 psi.
^ Recommended COLD tire pressure on the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label is 35 psi.
^ The tire pressure should be compensated an additional +3 psi and adjusted to 38 psi to avoid
dropping below the label value when the tires cool.
Natural tire pressure loss overtime:
^ Vehicle tire pressure can naturally decrease by approximately 1.0 — 1.5 psi per month. This will
vary due to seasonal temperature change.
^ After 6 to 8 months tire pressure may be low enough to turn ON the Low Tire Pressure Warning
Light.
High Altitude
^ At high altitude locations a standard tire pressure gauge may show the tire pressure higher than
the TPMS system. If the gauge reading is not
accounted for this could result in turning ON the Low Tire Pressure Warning Light.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Tires > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3050

^ Standard tire pressure gauge readings increase about 1.0 psi for every 2,200 ft of altitude
increase above sea level (up to 10,000 ft). See Graph 3.
^ For example if the TIRE AND LOADING INFORMATION label reads 33 psi then at an elevation
of 5,280 ft, the cold inflation pressure using a
gauge should be increased 2.5 psi to 35.5 psi.»
NOTE:
In the above example, C-III, Signal Tech II, or the vehicle information display (if equipped) would
show a tire pressure of 33 psi. If needed use C-III or Signal Tech-II to confirm tire pressure.
NOTE:
^ After correcting the tire pressure the vehicle may need to be driven at speeds above 16 mph to
activate the TPMS and turn off the low tire pressure
warning light.
^ If pressure compensation for temperature is used, the pressure should be re-checked and
adjusted at a later time when the tires are cold.
^ If after turning the ignition ON, the TPMS light flashes for one minute and then turns solid, refer to
ITB10-023 or ITB09-050.

Tires: Technical Service Bulletins Body — Paint Staining Due to ‘Tire Dressing’
Classification: WT04-011
Reference: ITB05-003
Date: January 12, 2005
INFINITI; INFORMATION ON PAINT STAINS CAUSED BY TIRE DRESSING
APPLIED VEHICLES: All 2000 and later Infiniti
SERVICE INFORMATION
An aftermarket chemical product called «tire dressing» is sometimes used on tires. When the tire
dressing is applied it may combine with an anti-ozonant compound (applied by tire manufacturers)
to form a new compound that could stain vehicle paint. The paint stains occur if the wet tire
dressing/anti-ozonant compound slings onto the vehicle paint when the vehicle is driven.
Paint damage stains caused by application of the tire dressing are NOT covered by Nissan
warranty. Therefore Nissan does not recommend the application of tire dressing to vehicle tires.
If a customer requests application of tire dressing to his/her vehicle they should be informed that
the vehicle paint may be stained if the tire dressing is applied to the tires and that Nissan warranty
does not cover the repair of these stains. If the customer still requests the tire dressing be applied
consider the following:
1. Water based tire dressing may reduce the amount of anti-ozonant that will be mixed/dissolved in
the tire dressing compared with oil based dressings.
2. A light coat of the tire dressing may reduce the amount of dressing that could enter the tires
grooves/treads.
3. To reduce the amount of dressing that could stain the paint: Use a dry towel to wipe off excess
tire dressing from the fire including grooves and treads. Then allow the dressing to dry completely.

1. Set road wheel on wheel balancer using the center hole as a guide. Start the tire balance
machine. 2. When inner and outer unbalance values are shown on the wheel balancer indicator,
multiply outer unbalance value by 5/3 to determine balance
weight that should be used. Select the outer balance weight with a value closest to the calculated
value above and install it to the designated outer position of, or at the designated angle in relation
to the road wheel.
CAUTION: ^
Do not install the inner balance weight before installing the outer balance weight.
^ Before installing the balance weight, be sure to clean the mating surface of the road wheel.
Indicated unbalance value x 5/3 = balance weight to be installed Calculation example: 23 g (0.81
oz) x 5/3 = 38.33 g (1.35 oz) = 40 g (1.41 oz) balance weight (closer to calculated balance weight
value) Note that balance weight value must be closer to the calculated balance weight value.

Example: 37.4 = 35 g (1.23 oz) 37.5 = 40 g (1.41 oz)

TIRE MOUNTING INFORMATION
APPLIED VEHICLES: All Infiniti
SERVICE INFORMATION
^ When mounting tires to wheels it is important that the tire bead is seated correctly.
^ A tire bead that is not seated correctly may cause a vehicle vibration.
^ High performance tires and tires with shorter sidewalls (low aspect tires) may require more care
to make sure the tire bead is seated correctly.
^ Follow the Tire Mounting Tips in this bulletin.
Tire Mounting Tips:
NOTE:
These tips are not intended to be a complete instruction for mounting tires to wheels. Make sure to
read and follow the instruction for your specific tire service equipment.

1. Clean the tire bead with an approved rubber cleaning fluid.
^ Rubber cleaning fluid is a locally sourced common product used in the tire service process.
2. Clean the wheel (flange and bead seat area), see Figure 2. Make sure to clean off all rust and
corrosion.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3060

3. Apply an approved tire lubricant to the tire and wheel in the areas shown in Figures 1 and 2.
^ Tire lubricant is a locally sourced common product used in the tire service process.
Tire:
^ Apply lube to the inner bead only, of both beads.
^ Do not apply lube to the flange area (outer bead area)
NOTE:
Too much tire lubricant may allow the tire to slip on the rim while driving. If this occurs, the tire may
become un-balanced.
Wheel:
^ Apply lube to the Safety Humps and Bead Sealing area.
^ Do not apply lube to the flange area.
4. Before inflating the tire:
^ If there are «match-mount» marks on the tire and rim, align the marks.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Maintenance > Wheels and Tires > Wheels > Component Information > Technical Service
Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3061

^ Make sure the tire is evenly positioned on the lower safety humps.
5. WARNING: Do not exceed the tire manufactures recommended bead seating inflation pressure.
Generally this is 40psi.
If the bead does not seat with the appropriate pressure:
a. Break down the tire/rim assembly.
b. Re-apply lubricant as shown in Figures 1 and 2 above.
c. Remount the tire.
6. After inflating the tires inspect the bead area.
^ Make sure bead is seated uniformly (the same) around the entire circumference of the wheel.
NOTE:
Many tires have Aligning Rings that will help confirm the bead is uniformly seated.
If uniform; bead is seated correctly.
If not uniform;
1. Break down the tire/rim assembly.
2. Re-apply lubricant as shown in Figures 1 and 2.
3. Remount the tire.

Bulletins > Tires — Mounting Information/Precautions > Page 3062

7. After the tire/wheel is balanced, apply an index mark to the tire at the location of the valve stem
(see Figure 6).
^ This index mark will allow you to tell if the tire has slipped on the rim (see Figure 7).
Tire to Rim Slippage:
^ Too much tire lubricant may allow the tire to slip on the rim while driving. If this occurs, the tire
may become un-balanced.
^ Overtime the tire lubricate will dry, eliminating the lubricant as a cause of tire slippage.
^ Some tire lubricants may require up to 24 hours to completely dry.
^ If slippage occurs, the tire/wheel will need to be re-balanced.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids — Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3149

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids — Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3150

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids — Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3155

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids — Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3156

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids — Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3157

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids — Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3158

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation
IVT CONTROL

Description
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of
the intake valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and
engine coolant temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve
timing control solenoid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the
shut/open timing of the intake valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in
high-speed range.
IVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
Component Description
Intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF pulse duty (ratio) signals from the
ECM.
The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through
intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances valve angle.
The shorter pulse width retards valve angle.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Actuators and Solenoids — Engine > Variable Valve
Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 3174

When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the
intake valve angle at the control position.

CHECKING COMPRESSION PRESSURE 1. Warm up engine thoroughly. Then, stop it. 2. Release
fuel pressure. Refer to «FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE».
3. Disconnect fuel pump fuse to avoid fuel injection during measurement. 4. Remove engine cover
with power tool. Refer to «INTAKE MANIFOLD COLLECTOR». 5. Remove ignition coil and spark

plug from each cylinder. Refer to «IGNITION COIL» and «SPARK PLUG (PLATINUM-TIPPED
TYPE)». 6. Connect engine tachometer (not required in use of CONSULT-II).
7. Install compression tester with adapter onto spark plug hole.
^ Use compression gauge whose picking up end inserted to spark plug hole is smaller than 20 mm
(0.79 inch) in diameter. Otherwise, it may be caught by cylinder head during removal.
8. With accelerator pedal fully depressed, turn ignition switch to «START» for cranking. When the
gauge pointer stabilizes, read the compression
pressure and engine rpm. Perform these steps to check each cylinder.
Compression pressure
CAUTION: Always use a fully changed battery to obtain specified engine speed.
^ If the engine speed is out of specified range, check battery liquid for proper gravity. Check engine
speed again with normal battery gravity.
^ If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated
with combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After the checking, measure the compression pressure again.
^ If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark
plug hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
^ If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged.
Check piston rings and replace if necessary.
^ If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be
malfunctioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.
^ If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression
remains low even after the addition of engine oil,

INITIAL ENGINE OIL LEVEL CHECK
^ This step should be performed only if you do not have verified Infiniti service history information
indicating the vehicle mileage at the last oil change.
^ Go to step 12 (oil level check after 1,000-3750 miles) if you do have verified vehicle mileage
information at the last oil change.
1. Park the vehicle on a level surface and apply the parking brake.
2. Make sure the engine has been OFF for more than 10 minutes.
^ This allows the engine oil to drain back into the engine pan.
^ Engine OFF for 30 minutes or more is ideal.
3. Remove the oil dip stick and wipe it clean.
4. Reinsert the dip stick all the way.
5. Pull the dip stick out again and check the oil level:
If the oil level is in this range (Figure 1);

HEALTH PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS
— Avoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly used engine oils.
— Wear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where practicable.
— Do not put oily rags in pockets.
— Avoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
— Heavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should not be worn. Overalls must be
cleaned regularly.
— First aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open cuts and wounds.
— Use barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to help the removal of oil from the
skin.
— Wash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin cleansers and nail brushes will help).
Preparations containing lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
— Do not use gasoline, kerosene, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or solvents for cleaning skin.
— If skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.

Code)». A «detectable line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM can detect its malfunctions with the on
board diagnostic system.
— A line with less weight (thinner line) represents a «non-detectable line for DTC». A «non-detectable
line for DTC» is a circuit in which ECM cannot detect its malfunctions with the on board diagnostic
system.
Multiple Switch
The continuity of multiple switch is described in two ways as shown here.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT
Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3483

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.
— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3484

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.
Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3485

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction

Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3487

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.
— Wires routed too close to hot components.

To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3488

Heat Sensitive
The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3489

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3490

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3491

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3492

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Variable Valve Timing Solenoid: Description and Operation
IVT CONTROL

Description
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
This mechanism hydraulically controls cam phases continuously with the fixed operating angle of
the intake valve.
The ECM receives signals such as crankshaft position, camshaft position, engine speed, and
engine coolant temperature. Then, the ECM sends ON/OFF pulse duty signals to the intake valve
timing control solenoid valve depending on driving status. This makes it possible to control the
shut/open timing of the intake valve to increase engine torque in low/mid speed range and output in
high-speed range.
IVT CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE
Component Description
Intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF pulse duty (ratio) signals from the
ECM.
The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through
intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances valve angle.
The shorter pulse width retards valve angle.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Engine > Timing Components > Variable Valve Timing >
Variable Valve Timing Solenoid > Component Information > Diagrams > Page 3508

When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the
intake valve angle at the control position.

speed again with normal battery gravity.
^ If compression pressure is below minimum value, check valve clearances and parts associated
with combustion chamber (valve, valve seat, piston, piston ring, cylinder bore, cylinder head,
cylinder head gasket). After the checking, measure the compression pressure again.
^ If some cylinders have low compression pressure, pour small amount of engine oil into the spark
plug hole of the cylinder to re-check it for compression.
^ If the added engine oil improves the compression, piston rings may be worn out or damaged.
Check piston rings and replace if necessary.
^ If the compression pressure remains at low level despite the addition of engine oil, valves may be
malfunctioning. Check valves for damage. Replace valve or valve seat accordingly.
^ If two adjacent cylinders have respectively low compression pressure and their compression
remains low even after the addition of engine oil,

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3676

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3677

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3680

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3681

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3682

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3683

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3684

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch
> Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and
Instructions > Page 3685

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System >
Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3754

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3755

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3756

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System >
Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3758

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System >
Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3759

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System >
Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3760

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System >
Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3761

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Engine, Cooling and Exhaust > Cooling System > Sensors and Switches — Cooling System >
Engine — Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch > Coolant Temperature Sensor/Switch (For Computer) > Component
Information > Diagrams > Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3763

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

ECT SENSOR
Component Description
The engine coolant temperature sensor is used to detect the engine coolant temperature. The
sensor modifies a voltage signal from the ECM. The modified signal returns to the ECM as the
engine coolant temperature input. The sensor uses a thermistor which is sensitive to the change in
temperature. The electrical resistance of the thermistor decreases as temperature increases.
CAUTION: Do not use ECM ground terminals when measuring input/output voltage. Doing so may
result in damage to the ECM’s transistor. Use a ground other than ECM terminals, such as the

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3843

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3844

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3845

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3847

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Information and Instructions > Page 3848

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Information and Instructions > Page 3849

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3850

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3851

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 3852

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

Body Control Module: Description and Operation
BCM (BODY CONTROL MODULE)
System Description
— BCM (Body Control Module) controls the operation of various electrical units installed on the
vehicle.
BCM FUNCTION
BCM has combination switch reading function for reading the operation of combination switches
(light, wiper, washer, turn signal) in addition to a function for controlling the operation of various
electrical components. Also it has an interface function allowing it to receive signals from the
combination meter, and send signals to ECM using CAN communication.
COMBINATION SWITCH READING FUNCTION
Description
— BCM reads combination switch (lighting switch, wiper switch) status, and controls various
electrical component according to the result.
— BCM reads information of a maximum of 20 switches by combining five output terminals
(OUTPUT 1-5) and five input terminals (INPUT 1-5).

Operation description
— BCM activates transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) periodically, and allows current to
flow in turn.
— If any (1 or more) switches are turned ON, circuit of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) and input
terminals (INPUT 1-5) becomes active.
— At this time, transistors of output terminals (OUTPUT 1-5) are activated to allow current to flow.
When voltage of input terminals (INPUT 1-5) corresponding to that switch changes, interface in
BCM detects voltage change, and BCM determines that switch is ON.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Application and ID > Page
3872

Operation table of BCM and combination switches
Sample operation: (When lighting switch 1ST position turned ON)
— When lighting switch 1ST position is turned ON, contact in combination switch turns ON. At this
time if OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5.
— When OUTPUT 4 transistor is ON, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5, and judges
that lighting switch 1ST position is ON. Then BCM sends tail lamp and clearance lamp request
signal to IPDM E/R using CAN communication.
— When OUTPUT 4 transistor is activated again, BCM detects that voltage changes in INPUT 5,
and recognizes that lighting switch 1ST position is continuously ON.
NOTE: Each OUTPUT terminal transistor is activated at 10 ms intervals. Therefore after switch is
turned ON, electrical loads are activated with time delay. But this time delay is so short that it
cannot be detected by human senses.
Operation mode
— Combination switch reading function has operation modes shown here.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Body Control Module > Component Information > Application and ID > Page
3873

1. Normal status
— When BCM is not in sleep status, OUTPUT terminals (1-5) send out ON signal every 10 ms.
2. Sleep status
— When BCM is in sleep status, transistors of OUTPUT 1 and 5 stop the output, and BCM enters
low power mode. Mean while OUTPUT 2, 3, and 4 send out ON signal every 60 ms, and accept
only input from lighting switch system.
CAN COMMUNICATION CONTROL
CAN communication allows a high rate of information transmission through the two communication
lines (CAN L line, CAN H line) connecting the various control units in the system. Each control unit
transmits/receives data but selectively reads required data only. For details of signals that are
transmitted/received by BCM via CAN communication, refer to «INFORMATION BUS».
BCM STATUS CONTROL
BCM changes its status depending on the operation status in order to save power consumption.
1. CAN communication status
— With ignition switch ON, CAN communicates with other control units normally.

— Control by BCM is being operated properly.
— When ignition switch is OFF, switching to sleep mode is possible.
— Even when ignition switch is OFF, if CAN communication with IPDM E/R and combination meter
is active, CAN communication status is active.
2. Sleep transient status
— This status shuts down CAN communication when ignition switch is turned OFF.
— It transmits sleep request signal to IPDM E/R and combination meter.
Two seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches to
inactive status.
3. CAN communication inactive status
— With ignition switch OFF, CAN communication is not active.
— With ignition switch OFF, control performed only by BCM is active.
— Three seconds after CAN communication of all control units stops, CAN communication switches
to inactive status.
4. Sleep status
— BCM is activated with low power mode.
— CAN communication is not active.

— Rear door switch (LH, RH)
— Trunk lid opener switch
— Combination switch (passing, lighting switch 1ST position, front fog lamp)
— Key fob (lock/unlock signal)
— Key cylinder switch
— When control performed only by BCM is required by switch, it shifts to CAN communication
inactive mode.
— Status of combination switch reading function is changed.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3904

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3905

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3908

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3909

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3910

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3911

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3912

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Electronic Throttle Actuator Relay > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 3913

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If the CONSULT-II cannot diagnose the system properly, check the following items.
NOTE: The DDL1 and DDL2 circuits from DLC pins 12, 13, 14 and 15 may be connected to more
than one system. A short in a DDL circuit connected to a control unit in one system may affect
CONSULT-II access to other systems.
Ground Inspection

Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.
When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
For detailed ground distribution information, refer to «Ground Distribution».

Service Procedure
Check NATS On The Vehicle
1. Check to see if the vehicle you’re working on has ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0.
a. If the vehicle has ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0 it will NOT start after you install a service
replacement ECM. So you’ll have to re-register all ignition keys including spare keys with
CONSULT-II and the purple NATS card. After you do this proceed with step 2.
^ If you do not know how to re-register the keys refer to the ESM for the NATS key re-registration
procedure.
b. If the vehicle has BCM based NATS (instead of ECM based NATS V2.0 or V5.0) you do NOT
have to re-register the ignition or spare keys. Proceed with step 2.
Check For ECM Data Updates in ASIST
2. In ASIST select [CONSULT Utilities] >> [ECM/TCM Data]. Then choose Model and Model Year
(see Figure 1).
3. Look for ECM Data Updates (listed by ECM P/Ns and vehicle configuration) in the top center
display panel of the ASIST screen (see Figure 1).

a. If there is no updates listed for your vehicle configuration you do NOT have to reprogram the
service replacement ECM. Proceed with step 5.
b. If there is updates listed for your vehicle configuration see if they apply to the service
replacement ECM you’re going to install. Do this by performing step 4.
4. Select the configuration on the screen for the vehicle you’re working on. Then confirm that your
ECM is listed in the «Replaces 23710-XXXXX, -XXXXX etc» section in the lower center Details
panel of the ASIST screen (see Figure 1).

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4049

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4050

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

Information and Instructions > Page 4051

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4053

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4054

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4055

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4056

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4057

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
— Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid
disconnected) powered through the fuse.
— Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of
the fuse terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a
known good ground).
— With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short
is between fuse block and SW1 (point A). no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— With SW1 closed, relay and solenoid disconnected and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage. voltage; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B). no voltage;
short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— With SW1 closed, relay contacts jumped with fused jumper wire check for voltage. voltage; short
is down the circuit of the relay or between the relay and the disconnected solenoid (point C). no
voltage; retrace steps and check power to fuse block.
Ground Inspection
Ground connections are very important to the proper operation of electrical and electronic circuits.
Ground connections are often exposed to moisture, dirt and other corrosive elements. The
corrosion (rust) can become an unwanted resistance. This unwanted resistance can change the
way a circuit works.
Electronically controlled circuits are very sensitive to proper grounding. A loose or corroded ground
can drastically affect an electronically controlled circuit. A poor or corroded ground can easily affect
the circuit. Even when the ground connection looks clean, there can be a thin film of rust on the
surface.

When inspecting a ground connection follow these rules:
— Remove the ground bolt or screw.
— Inspect all mating surfaces for tarnish, dirt, rust, etc.
— Clean as required to assure good contact.
— Reinstall bolt or screw securely.
— Inspect for «add-on» accessories which may be interfering with the ground circuit.
— If several wires are crimped into one ground eyelet terminal, check for proper crimps. Make sure
all of the wires are clean, securely fastened and providing a good ground path. If multiple wires are
cased in one eyelet make sure no ground wires have excess wire insulation.
Voltage Drop Tests
Voltage drop tests are often used to find components or circuits which have excessive resistance.
A voltage drop in a circuit is caused by a resistance when the circuit is in operation.
Check the wire in the illustration. When measuring resistance with DMM, contact by a single strand
of wire will give reading of 0 ohms. This would indicate a good circuit. When the circuit operates,
this single strand of wire is not able to carry the current. The single strand will have a high
resistance to the current. This will be picked up as a slight voltage drop.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Relays and Modules — Powertrain Management > Relays and
Modules — Computers and Control Systems > Engine Control Module > Component Information > Diagrams > Diagram
Information and Instructions > Page 4058

Unwanted resistance can be caused by many situations as follows:
— Undersized wiring (single strand example)
— Corrosion on switch contacts
— Loose wire connections or splices.
If repairs are needed always use wire that is of the same or larger gauge.

MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — ACCUMULATED METHOD
— Connect the DMM across the connector or part of the circuit you want to check. The positive lead
of the DMM should be closer to power and the negative lead closer to ground.
— Operate the circuit.
— The DMM will indicate how many volts are being used to «push» current through that part of the
circuit.
Note in the illustration that there is an excessive 4.1 volt drop between the battery and the bulb.
MEASURING VOLTAGE DROP — STEP-BY-STEP
The step-by-step method is most useful for isolating excessive drops in low voltage systems (such
as those in «Computer Controlled Systems»).
Circuits in the «Computer Controlled System» operate on very low amperage. The (Computer
Controlled) system operations can be adversely affected by any variation in resistance in the
system. Such resistance variation may be caused by poor connection, improper installation,
improper wire gauge or corrosion.

CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN KIT

Use the connector and terminal pin kits listed when replacing connectors or terminals. The
connector and terminal pin kits contain some of the most commonly used NISSAN/INFINITI
connectors and terminals. For detailed connector and terminal pin replacement procedures, refer to
the latest NISSAN/INFINITI CONNECTOR AND TERMINAL PIN SERVICE MANUAL.
HOW TO PROBE CONNECTORS
Connector damage and an intermittent connection can result from improperly probing of the
connector during circuit checks. The probe of a digital multimeter (DMM) may not correctly fit the
connector cavity. To correctly probe the connector, follow the procedures using a «T» pin. For the
best contact grasp the «T» pin using an alligator clip.
Probing from Harness Side
Standard type (not waterproof type) connector should be probed from harness side with «T» pin.
— If the connector has a rear cover such as a ECM connector, remove the rear cover before probing
the terminal.
— Do not probe waterproof connector from harness side. Damage to the seal between wire and
connector may result.
Probing from Terminal Side
FEMALE TERMINAL
— There is a small notch above each female terminal. Probe each terminal with the «T» pin through
the notch.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4152

Do not insert any object other than the same type male terminal into female terminal.

— Some connectors do not have a notch above each terminal. To probe each terminal, remove the
connector retainer to make contact space for probing.
MALE TERMINAL
Carefully probe the contact surface of each terminal using a «T» pin. Do not bend terminal.
How to Check Enlarged Contact Spring of Terminal
An enlarged contact spring of a terminal may create intermittent signals in the circuit. If the
intermittent open circuit occurs, follow the procedure to inspect for open wires and enlarged contact
spring of female terminal.
1. Assemble a male terminal and approx. 10 cm (3.9 in) of wire.
Use a male terminal which matches the female terminal.
2. Disconnect the suspected faulty connector and hold it terminal side up.

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4153

3. While holding the wire of the male terminal, try to insert the male terminal into the female
terminal.

Do not force the male terminal into the female terminal with your hands.
4. While moving the connector, check whether the male terminal can be easily inserted or not.
— If the male terminal can be easily inserted into the female terminal, replace the female terminal.
Waterproof Connector Inspection
If water enters the connector, it can short interior circuits. This may lead to intermittent problems.
Check the following items to maintain the original waterproof characteristics.
RUBBER SEAL INSPECTION
— Most waterproof connectors are provided with a rubber seal between the male and female
connectors. If the seal is missing, the waterproof performance may not meet specifications.
— The rubber seal may come off when connectors are disconnected. Whenever connectors are
reconnected, make sure the rubber seal is properly installed on either side of male or female
connector.

WIRE SEAL INSPECTION
The wire seal must be installed on the wire insertion area of a waterproof connector. Be sure that
the seal is installed properly.
Terminal Lock Inspection
Check for unlocked terminals by pulling wire at the end of connector. An unlocked terminal may
create intermittent signals in the circuit.

INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS

Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible,
re-create the conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble
Found Diagnosis. The following section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment
under which the owner experiences an electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
— Vehicle vibration
— Heat sensitive
— Freezing
— Water intrusion
— Electrical load

Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4156

— Cold or hot start up
Get a thorough description of the incident from the customer. It is important for simulating the
conditions of the problem.
Vehicle Vibration
The problem may occur or become worse while driving on a rough road or when engine is vibrating
(idle with A/C on). In such a case, you will want to check for a vibration related condition. Refer to
the following illustration.
CONNECTORS & HARNESS
Determine which connectors and wiring harness would affect the electrical system you are
inspecting. Gently shake each connector and harness while monitoring the system for the incident
you are trying to duplicate. This test may indicate a loose or poor electrical connection.
HINT
Connectors can be exposed to moisture. It is possible to get a thin film of corrosion on the
connector terminals. A visual inspection may not reveal this without disconnecting the connector. If
the problem occurs intermittently, perhaps the problem is caused by corrosion. It is a good idea to
disconnect, inspect and clean the terminals on related connectors in the system.
SENSORS & RELAYS
Gently apply a slight vibration to sensors and relays in the system you are inspecting. This test may
indicate a loose or poorly mounted sensor or relay.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
There are several reasons a vehicle or engine vibration could cause an electrical complaint. Some
of the things to check for are:
— Connectors not fully seated.
— Wiring harness not long enough and is being stressed due to engine vibrations or rocking.
— Wires laying across brackets or moving components.
— Loose, dirty or corroded ground wires.

— Wires routed too close to hot components.
To inspect components under the hood, start by verifying the integrity of ground connections.
(Refer to Ground Inspection described later.) First check that the system is properly grounded.
Then check for loose connection by gently shaking the wiring or components as previously
explained. Using the wiring diagrams inspect the wiring for continuity.
BEHIND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL
An improperly routed or improperly clamped harness can become pinched during accessory
installation. Vehicle vibration can aggravate a harness which is routed along a bracket or near a
screw.
UNDER SEATING AREAS
An unclamped or loose harness can cause wiring to be pinched by seat components (such as slide
guides) during vehicle vibration. If the wiring runs under seating areas, inspect wire routing for
possible damage or pinching.

Heat Sensitive

The customer’s concern may occur during hot weather or after car has sat for a short time. In such
cases you will want to check for a heat sensitive condition.
To determine if an electrical component is heat sensitive, heat the component with a heat gun or
equivalent. Do not heat components above 60 °C (140 °F). If incident occurs while heating the unit,
either replace or properly insulate the component.
Freezing
The customer may indicate the incident goes away after the car warms up (winter time). The cause
could be related to water freezing somewhere in the wiring/electrical system.
There are two methods to check for this. The first is to arrange for the owner to leave his car
overnight. Make sure it will get cold enough to demonstrate his complaint. Leave the car parked
outside overnight. In the morning, do a quick and thorough diagnosis of those electrical
components which could be affected.
The second method is to put the suspect component into a freezer long enough for any water to
freeze. Reinstall the part into the car and check for the reoccurrence of the incident. If it occurs,
repair or replace the component.
Water Intrusion
The incident may occur only during high humidity or in rainy/snowy weather. In such cases the
incident could be caused by water intrusion on an electrical part. This can be simulated by soaking
the car or running it through a car wash. Do not spray water directly on any electrical components.

Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4158

Electrical Load
The incident may be electrical load sensitive. Perform diagnosis with all accessories (including A/C,
rear window defogger, radio, fog lamps) turned on.
Cold or Hot Start Up
On some occasions an electrical incident may occur only when the car is started cold, or it may
occur when the car is restarted hot shortly after being turned off. In these cases you may have to
keep the car overnight to make a proper diagnosis.
CIRCUIT INSPECTION
Introduction
In general, testing electrical circuits is an easy task if it is approached in a logical and organized
method.
Before beginning it is important to have all available information on the system to be tested. Also,
get a thorough understanding of system operation. Then you will be able to use the appropriate
equipment and follow the correct test procedure. You may have to simulate vehicle vibrations while
testing electrical components. Gently shake the wiring harness or electrical component to do this.
NOTE: Refer to «How to Check Terminal» to probe or check terminal.
Testing for «Opens» in the Circuit
Before you begin to diagnose and test the system, you should rough sketch a schematic of the
system. This will help you to logically walk through the diagnosis process. Drawing the sketch will
also reinforce your working knowledge of the system.
CONTINUITY CHECK METHOD
The continuity check is used to find an open in the circuit. The digital multimeter (DMM) set on the
resistance function will indicate an open circuit as over limit (no beep tone or no ohms symbol).
Make sure to always start with the DMM at the highest resistance level.
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits, please refer to the previous schematic.
— Disconnect the battery negative cable.

Infiniti G35 Sedan 2wd Workshop Manual (V6-3.5L (VQ35DE) (2005))
Infiniti Workshop Manuals > Powertrain Management > Sensors and Switches — Powertrain Management > Sensors and
Switches — Computers and Control Systems > Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor > Component Information > Diagrams >
Diagram Information and Instructions > Page 4159

— Start at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end. (At the fuse block in this
example)
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the fuse block terminal on the load side.
— Connect the other probe to the fuse block (power) side of SW1. Little or no resistance will indicate
that portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point A)
— Connect the probes between SW1 and the relay. Little or no resistance will indicate that portion of
the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would indicate an over
limit or infinite resistance condition. (point B)
— Connect the probes between the relay and the solenoid. Little or no resistance will indicate that
portion of the circuit has good continuity. If there were an open in the circuit, the DMM would
indicate an over limit or infinite resistance condition. (point C)
Any circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic. In
any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence
of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.
— Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.
— With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage. voltage; open is further down the circuit than
SW1. no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
— Close SW1 and probe at relay. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay. no voltage;
open is between SW1 and relay (point B).
— Close the relay and probe at the solenoid. voltage; open is further down the circuit than the
solenoid. no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).

Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for «Shorts» in the Circuit
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD
— Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.
— Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through
the fuse.
— Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a
known good ground.
— With SW1 open, check for continuity. continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point
A). no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
— Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known
good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
— Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse
terminal and a known good ground. Then, check for continuity. continuity; short is between relay
and solenoid (point C). no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.

Отчет о проделанной работе по капитальному ремонту Nissan-ского бестселлера VQ35DE (3,5л., 280л/с, AWD) установленного на автомобиле Infiniti FX35 2003г/в. Для удобства читателей отзыв разделен на части. Эта часть посвящена разборке двигателя на составляющие.

Отчет написан задним числом и, забегая вперед, скажу, что на момент написания автомобиль уже во всю ездит и проходит обкатку. До начала ремонта автомобиль пробежал 138000миль (около 220000км). Причиной для капиталки стало проникновение выхлопных газов в систему охлаждения и большой расход масла, а, следовательно, частые перегревы, проблемы с печкой, высохшие маслосъемные колпачки и грохот цепи ГРМ на холодном моторе. По мере разбора мотора понял, что принял правильное решение капиталить мотор полностью, а не ограничиться заменой прокладок ГБЦ, т.к. там буквально все требовало замены. Контрактный мотор даже не рассматривал потому, что это еще тот «кот в мешке», да и замена его не намного проще капиталки, хоть и быстрее.

Так как вытащить двигатель из моторного отсека одному неудобно, решил разобрать «морду» и обеспечить себе беспрепятственный подход к двигателю. В последствии я его из моторного отсека весь вынес по частям, отремонтировал и занес обратно. Конечно, не все прошло гладко, пришлось пару раз «споткнуться», но обо всем по порядку.

Снял пластик впускного тракта – воздушный фильтр, датчик МРВ, патрубки, ресиверы. В последней трубе, перед дроссельной заслонкой, видно обильное загрязнение внутренностей маслом, вылетающим с картерными газами. ДМРВ очень нежная штука и обращаться с ней нужно предельно осторожно: не ударять, не ронять и даже не мыть.

DSCN5291

Снял колеса, машину поставил на пни. Снял передние части правого и левого подкрылков, открылся доступ к скрытым креплениям бампера и фарам. Также снял защиту двигателя и АКПП.

DSCN5293

Слил антифриз и отсоединил радиаторы. Радиатор кондиционера отсоединять не стал, временно подвесил его веревкой к потолку – потом отогну его в сторону, вместе с компрессором.

DSCN5294

Отсоединил радиатор ГУРа и слил декстрон.

DSCN5299

Отсоединил трос от замка капота. Сам замок откручивать не стал, что бы потом не подгонять его обратно.

DSCN5300

Отсоединил разъемы от фар, противотуманок. Открутил датчики, гуделки, отвязал косу, отодвинул бачек стеклоомывателя и открутил «телевизор». Остался висеть только радиатор кондиционера. Дабы не покалечить краску на торцах крыльев оклеил их малярным скотчем.

DSCN5302

На фото ниже видно как я пытался защитить разъемы от влаги и пыли, но так делать не советую! Потому, что после полной разборки моторного отсека его нужно помыть автомойкой высокого давления с химией. После мойки вода скатывается по проводам в эти пакетики и оттуда не испаряется, способствуя окислению контактов. Лучше после мойки просушить разъемы феном.

DSCN5303

Далее снимаем ремень, натяжной и обводной ролик, генератор, насос и расширительный бак ГУРа, отсоединяя и отодвигая соответствующие провода и шланги.

DSCN5305

Осторожно, чтобы не уронить, открутил и отсоединил дроссельную заслонку. Ее позже нужно промыть от масляного нагара. Маленький болтик, регулирующий зазор, крутить ни в коем случае нельзя! Обратите внимание – к дроссельной заслонке снизу подходят тонкие шланги.

DSCN5308

Снял клапан вентиляции угольного фильтра абсорбера.

DSCN5310

Теперь можно снять верхнюю часть впускного коллектора, соблюдая порядок откручивания болтов указанный в букваре. Букварь, кстати, прилагается внизу страницы.

DSCN5312

DSCN5313

Видно, что внутри впускной коллектор загажен результатом труда вентиляции картерных газов. В месте, где подведен клапан ВКГ вообще густой, жирный срач.

DSCN5314

Нижняя часть впускного снимается после освобождения от «косы» огибающей ее как змея.

DSCN5320

Попутно отсоединял и освобождал проводку двигателя сплетенную в «косу». Здесь не все шло гладко, сильно тормозили процесс разъемы – надо одновременно нажать и умудриться потянуть. Не всегда понятно куда нажать и с какой силой. Проводка высохла как вафельная, вся хрустит и не гнется.

DSCN5322

DSCN5325

Разъединять топливопровод в месте, рекомендованном букварем, я не стал потому, что неудобно подлазить, да и побоялся сломать пластиковый фиксатор. Просто отсоединил демпфер пульсаций топлива от топливной рампы и отогнул топливопровод в сторону.

DSCN5327

Снял топливную рампу с форсунками, трубку-перемычку между крышками ГБЦ, катушки зажигания и свечи. Свечные колодцы, на удивление, сухие, без масла. Одна свеча, судя по изолятору, была испорчена и «травила», но на работе двигателя это никак не сказывалось. Еще наконечники свечей выгорели и зазоры увеличились до 1.3мм.

DSCN5328

DSCN5329

Снял крышки ГБЦ и распределительную часть (самую нижнюю) впускного коллектора. На фото левой ГБЦ видно, что в месте, где заливалось масло чисто, а все остальное в рыжем налете. Думаю, это происходит из-за недостаточного моющего качества моторного масла. Масло я последние три года перед ремонтом заливал только Shell Helix, поэтому судите сами.

DSCN5331

DSCN5332

Далее снял термостат, слил антифриз из блока цилиндров, слил моторное масло и масло из переднего дифференциала. Расплел «косу» и завернул ее в сторону аккумулятора, чтобы не мешалась. Чтобы легче снимались разъемы электропроводки брызгал их WD-шкой. На данном этапе автомобиль выглядит как на фото. Мотор в целом не отжатый, но очень грязный. Судя по тому, что весь двигатель в масле, оно бежало из под всех прокладок. Ощущение такое, как будто КРАЗ разбирал. Пока откручивается все легко, с характерным щелчком, везде можно подлезть.

DSCN5334

Для доступа к приводу ГРМ нужно снять «лобовину» – переднюю крышку. Сначала снял крышки с муфт VVT, затем открутил шкив коленвала и выкрутив почти три десятка болтов М6 добрался до цепей ГРМ.

Обратите внимание – болты передней крышки привода ГРМ разной длинны! Какой куда потом вкручивается и в каком порядке написано в букваре. Здесь есть еще один подвох – два самых длинных болта откручиваются снизу, из картера двигателя. Для этого нужно снять поддон картера и маслоприемник. Похоже, что предыдущий рукожопый мастер, не зная про это, пытался оторвать крышку силой и сломал ее чуть выше болта. Трещина получилась длинной пару сантиметров от «уха» во внутрь. Поэтому у меня постоянно «потела» лобовина мотора в районе компрессора кондиционера.

DSCN5361

DSCN5338

По правильному, ослабить болт на шкиве коленвала нужно было пока не выкрутил свечи, но я забыл, поэтому пришлось их вкручивать обратно. На станции ТО для фиксации коленвала используется приспособа прикручиваемая вместо стартера и фиксирующая маховик, но за неимением таковой пришлось постараться. Болт шкива затянут осень сильно и открутить его обычным ключом из набора не получилось – он просто загибался. Стартером срывать я не приемлю, это как-то совсем по варварски. Поэтому пришлось изготовить «специнструмент» и сорвать болт резкими ударами по воротку ключа. Болт с «правой» резьбой, соответственно откручивается против часовой стрелки.

DSCN5340

Цепи ГРМ все растянутые – натяжители выдвинуты почти на максимум. Поэтому они и стучали при «холодном» запуске.

DSCN5341

DSCN5339

Снял цепи ГРМ, натяжители, направляющие цепей, муфты, коромысла и клапаны VVT, помпу антифриза и только потом заднюю крышку привода ГРМ. Также снял стартер и компрессор кондиционера, но отсоединять от системы компрессор не стал – просто отогнул радиатор в сторону подальше и выворотил компрессор на левый лонжерон. Там он у меня и пролежал до конца ремонта.

Из-за проникновения выхлопных газов в систему охлаждения в расширительном бачке на стенках образовался не отмываемый налет из «гудрона». Думал, что и во всей системе то же самое. Но еще когда начал снимать шланги и трубки обратил внимание, что они чистые внутри. А когда снял помпу и термостат удивился чистоте как на заводе.

DSCN5356

Далее убираются оставшиеся трубки, отражатели выпускных коллекторов, остатки проводки и труба ОЖ соединяющая ГБЦ с задней стороны. Снимаются распредвалы и катализаторы. Выпускные коллекторы удобнее снять вместе с ГБЦ и потом на столе открутить. Здесь я столкнулся с трудностями – не откручиваются гайки на катализаторах. Нужна удлиненная головка на 17. Грани «слизал», пришлось пилить. На выпускных коллекторах гайки тоже не подарок, но на них не попадала вода с дороги в таком количестве как на катализаторы, поэтому с горем пополам откручиваются. Еще не хватает по две шпильки на каждом коллекторе в самых труднодоступных местах. Видимо коллекторы уже снимали, а назад поставить правильно не смогли потому, что назад, в моторный отсек, коллекторы устанавливаются, как и снимаются, вместе с ГБЦ, прикрученные к ней на столе.

DSCN5358

DSCN5365

DSCN5378

Небольшое отступление: информация для любителей поспорить — у 35-го FX-а четыре датчика в выхлопной системе.

DSCN5363

Раскрутив болты ГБЦ в установленном порядке, снял головки вместе с выпускными коллекторами. Нужно стараться не переворачивать ГБЦ чтобы не выпали толкатели клапанов с регулировочными шайбами. Болты очень трудно открутились. Два шестигранных ключа сломал, поддалить только Kraftool-овскому Torx-су размером Т55.

Болты ГБЦ можно сразу выкидывать — не надейтесь вернуть их обратно, потому, что это именно они стали причиной прорыва выхлопных газов в систему охлаждения. По это же причине многие «мастера» удивляются целостности прокладок ГБЦ и не могут определить место прогара прокладки.

Дело в том, что привычную нам паронитовую прокладку ГБЦ с металлизированными отверстиями нужно после обкатки двигателя повторно протягивать, т.к. постоянно расширяясь и сжимаясь металл блока цилиндров и ГБЦ ужал прокладку до «рабочего» состояния и она уже не восстановит свою форму. Так делали, например, на популярном Toyota-вском моторе 3S-FE. Но для этого нужно было заново разбирать 1/3 двигателя. Да и к тому же обкатку нового автомобиля приходилось выполнять заводу-производителю до продажи.

Сейчас же, обкатку нового автомобиля, повесили на покупателя, по принципу «продал и забыл». Для компенсации чрезмерного обжима прокладки ГБЦ ее стали делать железную, как на VQ35DE. Т.е. ей попросту некуда больше сжиматься. Но тут возникает проблема компенсации тепловых расширений блока цилиндров и ГБЦ. Что бы не оторвало болты ГБЦ их стали делать из какого-то хитрожопого металла, который растягивается компенсируя тепловые расширения и обеспечивая тем самым постоянное плотное прилегание плоскостей блока цилиндров и ГБЦ. Со временем, естественно, металл болтов «устает» и при большой нагрузке на двигатель они начинают вытягиваться больше положенного, ГБЦ начинает «подскакивать» в такт работы цилиндров и выхлопные газы попадают в систему охлаждения минуя прокладки. Поэтому печку завоздушивает и антифриз выкидывает в расширительный бачок именно после «отжигов». При этом на стенках бачка образуется жирный и грязный налет.

Еще, забегая вперед, стоит отметить особенность затяжки болтов. Несмотря на то, что прокладка металлическая она все равно дает усадку на доли миллиметра, компенсируя неидеальность привалочных плоскостей и что бы после «обсадки» прокладок не приходилось подтягивать болты им заранее создают преднатяг затягивая их в три этапа: сначала до определенного момента, потом два раза на определенный угол. С паронитовой прокладкой такой номер бы не прошел просто потому, что она гораздо толще и никакой болт так не растянется. Каждый второй болт повторно вкрутить не получиться потому, что он «поплывет» (как будто резьба срывается) на втором этапе доворота на угол. Да и зачем использовать повторно, по сути, расходный материал.

DSCN5376

DSCN5386

На фото ниже пример растянутого болта: новым, этот болт имел длинну 134,5мм. На самом деле предельный износ болтов ГБЦ проверяется другим методом — сравнением с эталоном разности диаметров витков резьбы. Про измерение болтов ГБЦ подробно написано в букваре на стр. ЕМ-98.

DSCN5672

Сняв «головы» видим внутренности ЦПГ и уже примерно можем оценить объем работ по восстановлению мотора. На первый взгляд цилиндры в хорошем состоянии, даже хон сохранился в полном объеме, практически без «мазолей». Впоследствии нужно будет промерить цилиндры на овальность и проверить износ юбки поршней.

Предположительно выхлопные газы прорывались в систему охлаждения в районе 5-го цилиндра – все «рубашки» кристально чистые, а в «рубашке» 5-го цилиндра есть немного мазута.

DSCN5383

DSCN5382

46f6b2ec26bf8b1e4e284ff2e502b499

Перед демонтажем блока нужно отсоединить от него оставшиеся трубки — сапуны от дифференциала и АКПП трубки от охлаждения жидкости АКПП, а также открутить четыре болта крепления ведущего диска (маховика) к гидротрансформатору АКПП и передний кардан от переднего дифференциала.

DSCN5366

DSCN5396

Открутил от АКПП, открутил от гидротрансформатора, освободил опорные кронштейны, приводные валы, правый стакан, левый стакан с валом. Под АКПП желательно подставить упор, чтобы она не упала на балку. Нужно следить также, чтобы во время демонтажа блока цилиндров не выпал гидротрансформатор из колокола АКПП.

Подошел к нему, обхватил, потужился – не идет. Пошевелил монтажкой и со второго подхода взял вес. Получилось все очень аккуратно, я бы даже сказал, ювелирно. Вышел, как будто там его и не было. Вес блока в сборе примерно 60-70кг.

Японский мануал на E51 (2002-2004)

Приветствую!
Решил поделиться имеющимися у меня мануалами.
Обращаю внимание на то что мануалы исключительно по первому поколению, т.е. на машины до рестайла (до августа 2004г.).
Все в формате PDF и с возможностью выделения текста, т.е. достаточно легко все можно переводить через интернет, например тут, но к сожалению надписи на картинках придется переводить как картинки, но это тоже не великая проблема.
Все мануалы взяты с официального диска:

Японский мануал на E51 2002-2004  - 111.jpg

Для удобства навигации я перевел все названия мануалов и создал сводный эксель в котором можно фильтровать мануалы по всем столбцам. Сам эксель можно скачать тут. Ниже я сразу сгруппировал мануалы по группам.

Очень сильно сомневаюсь, что эти PDF были на английском!

Это тоже интересно, но практической пользы никакой…

Это абсолютно не то!!!
Я выложил SERVICE MANUAL, а ты OWNERS MANUAL, т.е. у тебя руководство по использованию машины, а у меня руководство по ее ремонту.
А еще у тебя мануал на последнюю версию 51 кузова — с 10.2007г.
И еще, твой мануал изначально был японским и его перевели на английский, т.к. на картинках японские кракозябы никуда не делись :wink:

Но тем не менее спасибо за документ, положил себе на «полку» :good:

И это положил… Я так понимаю это EM мануал на инфинити FX с 2003г.
У меня есть EC мануалан на VQ35DE (Maxima 2008г) и тоже на английском.

Где найти схему боковых зеркал? Хочу поставить с повторителями на первое поколение. На старых и новых по 7 проводов, фишки разные. Видимо и зеркала у нас по CAN шине. Как подключить не знаю.

Схему ищите в мануалах, а вообще вопрос «как подключить» для другой темы :wink:

Подскажите пожалуйста. Блин работала электродверь е51 Эльгранд 2007год. При открывании попала между дверью и кузовом банка в итоге ее прижала и все дверь теперь не открывается не с кнопки не с самой двери не с кнопки возле и не с салона сзади…

Разобрал заднюю часть обшивки пластик. Трос целый. Мотор электромагнитный не работает как надо, т.е. когда нажимаешь на дверь чтобы она открывалась этот электромагнитный движок пытается его толкать не в сторону открытия двери а наоборот пытается закрыть. И то через раз срабатывает.. на полдвери открывается внаглую помогая ему дверь толкать а дальше мотор отключается дверь переходит в ручной режим.
Стирание ошибок и обучение делал не помогает(((

Что может быть и на что еще смотреть ??! Дверь саму разбирать или предохранители, микрики или что еще и где можно глянуть.
Помогите пожалуйста разобраться….

Супер!
А на рестайл нет такого? Нужно установить управление электронной дроссельной заслонкой с круиз-контролем, плюс хотелось бы круговой обзор реализовать в идеале бы.
