2001 INFINITI QX4 check engine light

SAT964I
Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)=NBAT0183The MIL is located on the instrument panel.
1. The MIL will light up when the ignition switch is turned ON
without the engine running. This is a bulb check.
IIf the MIL does not light up, refer to EL-114, ªSchematicº.
(Or refer to EC-648, ªWiring Diagramº.)
2. When the engine is started, the MIL should go off.
If the MIL remains on, the on board diagnostic system has
detected an engine system malfunction. For detail, refer to
EC-59, ªIntroductionº.
CONSULT-IINBAT0184After performing ªSELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CON-
SULT-II)º (AT-37), place check marks for results on the ªDIAGNOS-
TIC WORKSHEETº, AT-55. Reference pages are provided follow-
ing the items.
NOTICE:
1) The CONSULT-II electrically displays shift timing and lock-up
timing (that is, operation timing of each solenoid).
Check for time difference between actual shift timing and the
CONSULT-II display. If the difference is noticeable, mechani-
cal parts (except solenoids, sensors, etc.) may be malfunction-
ing. Check mechanical parts using applicable diagnostic pro-
cedures.
2) Shift schedule (which implies gear position) displayed on
CONSULT-II and that indicated in Service Manual may differ
slightly. This occurs because of the following reasons:
IActual shift schedule has more or less tolerance or allowance,
IShift schedule indicated in Service Manual refers to the point
where shifts start, and
IGear position displayed on CONSULT-II indicates the point
where shifts are completed.
3) Shift solenoid valve ªAº or ªBº is displayed on CONSULT-II at
the start of shifting. Gear position is displayed upon completion
of shifting (which is computed by TCM).
4) Additional CONSULT-II information can be found in the Opera-
tion Manual supplied with the CONSULT-II unit.
SAT014K
SELF-DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURE (WITH CONSULT-II)NBAT0184S011. Turn on CONSULT-II and touch ªENGINEº for OBD-II detected
items or touch ªA/Tº for TCM self-diagnosis.
If A/T is not displayed, check TCM power supply and ground
circuit. Refer to AT-92. If result is NG, refer to EL-9, ªSche-
maticº.
