2006 INFINITI G35 ignition

A vehicle equipped with All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) should never be tested using a two
wheel dynamometer (such as the dyna-
mometers used by some states for emis-
sions testing), or similar equipment. Make
sure you inform test facility personnel
that your vehicle is equipped with AWD
before it is placed on a dynamometer. Us-
ing the wrong test equipment may result
in transmission damage or unexpected
vehicle movement which could result in
serious vehicle damage or personal in-
jury.
Due to legal requirements in some states/
areas, your vehicle may be required to be
in what is called the ªready conditionº for
an Inspection/Maintenance (I/M) test of
the emission control system.
The vehicle is set to the ªready conditionº
when it is driven through certain driving
patterns. Usually, the ªready conditionº
can be obtained by ordinary usage of the
vehicle.
If a powertrain system component is re-
paired or the battery is disconnected, the
vehicle may be reset to a not ªready con-
ditionº. Before taking the I/M test, check
the vehicle's inspection/maintenance test
readiness condition. Turn the ignition switch ON without starting the engine. If
the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL)
comes on steady for 20 seconds and then
blinks for 10 seconds, the I/M test condi-
tion is ªnot readyº. If the MIL does not
blink after 20 seconds, the I/M test condi-
tion is ªreadyº. If the MIL indicates the
vehicle is in a ªnot readyº condition, drive
the vehicle through the following pattern
to set the vehicle to the ready condition.
If you cannot or do not want to perform
the driving pattern, an INFINITI dealer can
conduct it for you.
WARNING Always drive the vehicle in a safe and pru-
dent manner according to traffic conditions
and obey all traffic laws.
1. Start the engine. Allow the engine to
idle until the engine coolant tempera-
ture gauge needle points between the
C and H (normal operating tempera-
ture).
2. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88
km/h), then quickly release the accel-
erator pedal completely and keep it re-
leased for at least 10 seconds. 3. Quickly depress the accelerator pedal
for a moment, then drive the vehicle at
a speed of 53 to 60 MPH (86 to 96
km/h) for at least 9 minutes.
4. Stop the vehicle. Leave the engine
running.
5. Accelerate the vehicle to 35 MPH (55
km/h) and maintain the speed for 20
seconds.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 at least 10 times.
7. Accelerate the vehicle to 55 MPH (88
km/h) and maintain the speed for at
least 3 minutes.
8. Stop the vehicle. Place the automatic
transmission selector lever in the ªPº
or ªNº position or the manual trans-
mission shift lever in the ªNº position.
9. Turn the engine off.
10. Repeat steps 1 through 8 at least one
more time.
If step 1 through 7 is interrupted, repeat
the preceding step. Any safe driving mode
is acceptable between steps. Do not stop
the engine until step 7 is completed.READINESS FOR INSPECTION/
