2001 INFINITI QX4 starter

On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0576Malfunction is detected when
(Malfunction A)120É signal is not entered to ECM for the first few
seconds during engine cranking,
(Malfunction B)120É signal is not entered to ECM during engine
running,
(Malfunction C)120É signal cycle excessively changes during
engine running.
FAIL-SAFE MODENBEC0576S01When the ECM enters the fail-safe mode, the MIL illuminates.
Detected items Engine operating condition in fail-safe mode
Crankshaft position sensor (REF)
circuitCompression TDC signal (120É signal) is controlled by camshaft position sensor (PHASE)
signal and crankshaft position sensor (POS) signal. Ignition timing will be delayed 0É to 2É.
Possible CauseNBEC0577IHarness or connectors
(The crankshaft position sensor (REF) circuit is open or
shorted.)
ICrankshaft position sensor (REF)
IStarter motor (Refer to SC section.)
IStarting system circuit (Refer to SC section.)
IDead (Weak) battery
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBEC0578NOTE:
IPerform ªPROCEDURE FOR MALFUNCTION Aº first. If 1st
trip DTC cannot be confirmed, perform ªPROCEDURE
FOR MALFUNCTION B AND Cº.
IIf ªDTC Confirmation Procedureº has been previously
conducted, always turn ignition switch ªOFFº and wait at least
10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that bat-
tery voltage is more than 10.5V at idle.

Trouble Diagnoses with
Battery/Starting/Charging System Tester
NBSC0018CAUTION:
When working with batteries, always wear appropriate eye
protection.
NOTE:
ITo ensure a complete and thorough diagnosis, the battery,
starter and alternator test segments must be done as a set
from start to finish.
IIf battery surface charge is detected while testing, the tester
will prompt you to turn on the headlights to remove the surface
charge.
IIf necessary, the tester will prompt you to determine if the bat-
tery temperature is above or below 0ÉC (32ÉF). Choose the
appropriate selection by pressing the up or down arrow button,
then press ªENTERº to make the selection.
SEL404X
1. Turn off all loads on the vehicle electrical system. Clean or
repair as necessary.
2. Visually inspect the battery, battery terminals and cable ends
with ignition switch in ªOFFº position.
NOTE:
The contact surface between the battery terminals, cable ends and
tester leads must be clean for a valid test. A poor connection will
prevent testing and a ªCHECK CONNECTIONº message will
appear during the test procedures. If this occurs, clean the battery
post and terminals, reconnect them and restart the test.
3. Connect the red tester lead clamp to the positive battery
terminal, and the black to the negative terminal.
SEL405X
4. The tester will turn on automatically. Using the arrow keys,
select ªIN VEHICLEº on the tester and then press the ªENTERº
key.

System DescriptionNBSC0004Power is supplied at all times
Ito ignition switch terminal 1
Ithrough 40A fusible link (lettere, located in the fuse and fusible link box).
With the ignition switch in the ON or START position, power is supplied through 10A fuse [No. 18, located in
the fuse block (J/B)].
Ito park/neutral position relay terminal 1.
Also, with the ignition switch in the START position, power is supplied
Ifrom ignition switch terminal 5
Ito park/neutral position relay terminal 6.
With the selector lever in the P or N position, ground is supplied
Ito park/neutral position relay terminal 2 through the park/neutral position switch.
Then park/neutral position relay is energized and power is supplied
Ifrom park/neutral position relay terminal 7
Ito terminal 2 of the starter motor windings.
The starter motor plunger closes and provides a closed circuit between the battery and starter motor. The
starter motor is grounded to the engine block. With power and ground supplied, cranking occurs and the engine
starts.
