2001 INFINITI QX4 reset

greatly depending on the cellular network and cellular signal
strength. The system resets to ready when the system com-
pletes the dialing attempts. The vehicle owner can press the
button again if he or she still needs to contact the Communi-
cator Response Center.
IINFINITI Communicator automatically redials if communication
between the vehicle owner and Communicator Response Cen-
ter is lost for some reason.
IThe only way for a transmission to be officially terminated is for
the Communicator Response Center to send an end transmis-
sion signal, which turns off the indicator in the switch. (Com-
munication with Communicator Response Center can not be
terminated by the occupant.)
IIf the vehicle owner start the engine during a call, the conver-
sation may be interrupted. When this happens the system may
try to resume transmission once after the engine has been
started.

GPS (GLOBAL POSITIONING SYSTEM)NBEL0180S09GPS is the global positioning system developed and operated by
the US Department of Defense. GPS satellites (NAVSTAR) trans-
mit radio waves and orbit around the earth at an altitude of approxi-
mately 21,000 km (13,000 miles).
GPS receiver calculates the three-dimensional position of the
vehicle (latitude, longitude, and altitude from the sea level) by the
time difference of the radio wave arriving from more than four GPS
satellites (three-dimensional positioning).
When the radio wave is received from only three GPS satellites, the
two-dimensional position (latitude and longitude) is calculated,
using the altitude from the sea level data calculated by using four
GPS satellites (two-dimensional positioning).
Positioning capability is degraded in the following cases.
IIn two-dimensional positioning, when the vehicle's altitude
from the sea level changes, the precision becomes lower.
IThe location detection performance can have an error of about
100 m (300 ft) even in three-dimensional positioning with high
precision. Because the precision is influenced by the location
of GPS satellites used for positioning, the location detection
performance may drop depending on the location of GPS sat-
ellites.
IWhen the radio wave from GPS satellites cannot be received,
for example, when the vehicle is in a tunnel, in a parking lot
inside building, under an elevated superhighway or near strong
power lines, the location may not be detected. Turbulent/
electric weather conditions may also affect positioning perfor-
mance. If something is placed on the antenna, the radio wave
from GPS satellites may not be received.

fied lubricants have been used with the scale. If the scale controls
refrigerant flow electronically, the hose fitting must be 1/2²-16
ACME.
CALIBRATING ACR4 WEIGHT SCALENBHA0006S09Calibrate the scale every three months.
To calibrate the weight scale on the ACR4 (J-39500-INF):
1. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
2. Press8787.ªA1º will be displayed.
3. Remove all weight from the scale.
4. Press0, then pressEnter.ª0.00º will be displayed and change
to ªA2º.
5. Place a known weight (dumbbell or similar weight), between
4.5 and 8.6 kg (10 and 19 lb) on the center of the weight scale.
6. Enter the known weight using four digits. (Example 10 lb =
10.00, 10.5 lb = 10.50)
7. PressEnterÐ the display returns to the vacuum mode.
8. PressShift/ResetandEnterat the same time.
9. Press6Ð the known weight on the scale is displayed.
10. Remove the known weight from the scale. ª0.00º will be dis-
played.
11. PressShift/Resetto return the ACR4 to the program mode.
CHARGING CYLINDERNBHA0006S08Using a charging cylinder is not recommended. Refrigerant may be
vented into air from cylinder's top valve when filling the cylinder
with refrigerant. Also, the accuracy of the cylinder is generally less
than that of an electronic scale or of quality recycle/recharge
equipment.

Trouble Diagnoses Introduction=NBRS0040CAUTION:
IDo not use electrical test equipment on any circuit related to the SRS unless instructed to in this
Service Manual. Spiral cable and wiring harnesses covered with yellow insulation tape either just
before the harness connectors or for the complete harness are related to the SRS.
IDo not attempt to repair, splice or modify the SRS wiring harness. If the harness is damaged,
replace it with a new one.
IKeep ground portion clean.
DIAGNOSIS FUNCTIONNBRS0040S01The SRS self-diagnosis results can be read by using ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and/or CONSULT-II. The read-
ing of these results is accomplished using one of two modes Ð ªUser modeº and ªDiagnosis modeº.
The User mode is exclusively prepared for the customer (driver). This mode warns the driver of a system
malfunction through the operation of the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp.
The Diagnosis mode allows the technician to locate and inspect the malfunctioning part.
The mode applications for the ªAIR BAGº warning lamp and CONSULT-II are as follows:
User mode Diagnosis mode Display type
ªAIR BAGº warning lamp X X ON-OFF operation
CONSULT-II Ð X Monitoring
NOTE:
Seat belt pre-tensioner malfunction is indicated by ªAIR BAGº warning lamp.
DIAGNOSIS MODE FOR CONSULT-IINBRS0040S02IªSELF-DIAG [CURRENT]º
A current Self-diagnosis result (also indicated by the number of warning lamp flashes in the Diagnosis
mode) is displayed on the CONSULT-II screen in real time. This refers to a malfunctioning part requiring
repairs.
IªSELF-DIAG [PAST]º
Diagnosis results previously stored in the memory are displayed on the CONSULT-II screen. The stored
results are not erased until memory erasing is executed.
IªTROUBLE DIAG RECORDº
With TROUBLE DIAG RECORD, diagnosis results previously erased by a reset operation can be displayed
on the CONSULT-II screen.
IªECU DISCRIMINATED NO.º
The diagnosis sensor unit for each vehicle model is assigned with its own, individual classification num-
ber. This number will be displayed on the CONSULT-II screen, as shown below. When replacing the diag-
nosis sensor unit, refer to the part number for the compatibility. After installation, replacement with a cor-
rect unit can be checked by confirming this classification number on the CONSULT-II screen.
SRS851
For INFINITI QX4, the diagnosis sensor unit classification numbers assigned is A540.

If switching Diagnosis mode to User mode is required while mal-
function is being detected, by turning ignition switch as follows:
1) Turn ignition switch ªONº.
2) After ªAIR BAGº warning lamp lights for 7 seconds, turn igni-
tion switch ªOFFº within 1 second.
3) Wait more than 3 seconds.
