2001 INFINITI QX4 Transfer

Component DescriptionNBEC0361The malfunction information related to A/T (Automatic Transmission) is transferred through the line (circuit)
from TCM (Transmission control module) to ECM. Therefore, be sure to erase the malfunction information such
as DTC not only in TCM (Transmission control module) but also ECM after the A/T related repair.
On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0363Malfunction is detected when an incorrect signal from TCM (Trans-
mission control module) is sent to ECM.
Possible CauseNBEC0594IHarness or connectors
[The communication line circuit between ECM and TCM
(Transmission control module) is open or shorted.]
IDead (Weak) battery
ITCM (Transmission control module)
SEF058Y
DTC Confirmation ProcedureNBEC0364NOTE:
If 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.
WITH CONSULT-IINBEC0364S011) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) Select ªDATA MONITORº mode with CONSULT-II.
3) Start engine and wait at least 40 seconds.
4) If 1st trip DTC is detected, go to ªDTC P0600 A/T COMMUNI-
CATION LINE Diagnostic Procedureº, EC-443.
WITH GSTNBEC0364S02Follow the procedure ªWITH CONSULT-IIº above.

PrecautionNBEL0177CAUTION:
IUse CONSULT-II to set the system ªDemonstration modeº if INFINITI Communicator needs to be
activated during service procedures. (For details of the demonstration mode, refer to EL-379.)
IMake sure to turn the demonstration mode OFF before returning the vehicle to the owner.
IIn the demonstration mode, no service from the Communicator Response Center is available.
Therefore, even if the customer encounters an emergency, no service will be dispatched.
IIf the theft warning system is activated for more than 7 seconds, INFINITI Communicator will dial
to the Communicator Response Center automatically. The operator will contact the customer to
confirm whether the vehicle has been stolen or not.
IWhen ªMaydayº emergency dialing is activated (if the system is not in the demonstration mode),
the Communicator Response Center operator will come online. If there is no emergency, the
operator will ask the occupant for the user password (option). Failure to provide the correct pass-
word results in a police response.
IIVCS unit memory includes VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) and other such vehicle specific
data. Therefore, the IVCS unit cannot be transferred to another vehicle. When the IVCS unit is
replaced, the new unit must be set up and programmed. The INFINITI Communicator system auto-
matically contacts the Communicator Response Center the first time the vehicle is started after a
phone number has been changed or a module (IVCS unit) is replaced. The VIN will be written in
the memory of the new unit by transmitting data from the Communicator Response Center. For
details, refer to ªSystem Settingº, EL-381.
IBefore servicing the vehicle, confirm that the VIN memorized by the IVCS unit is the same as the
VIN on the vehicle's identification plate.
Communicator Response Center Telephone
Number for Technicians
NBEL0178The Communicator Response Center telephone number for technicians is1-888-427-4812.
Whenever an INFINITI dealer technician dials the above number, the following information will be required by
the Communicator Response Center operator.
ICustomer name
IUnit ID number of old IVCS unit (For details, refer to EL-367.)
IUnit ID number of new IVCS unit
IVIN
IDealer name and code (For security purposes)
