How to Perform Efficient Diagnosis for an Electrical IncidentEAS001FN
WORK FLOW
INCIDENT SIMULATION TESTS
Introduction
Sometimes the symptom is not present when the vehicle is brought in for service. If possible, re-create the
conditions present at the time of the incident. Doing so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The fol-
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the conditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:

Vehicle vibration

Heat sensitive
SGI838
STEPDESCRIPTION
STEP 1 Get detailed information about the conditions and the environment when the incident occurred.
The following are key pieces of information required to make a good analysis:
WHAT
Vehicle Model, Engine, Transmission/Transaxle and the System (i.e. Radio).
WHEN Date, Time of Day, Weather Conditions, Frequency.
WHERE Road Conditions, Altitude and Traffic Situation.
HOW System Symptoms, Operating Conditions (Other Components Interaction).
Service History and if any After Market Accessories have been installed.
STEP 2 Operate the system, road test if necessary.
Verify the parameter of the incident.
If the problem cannot be duplicated, refer to
“Incident Simulation Tests ”.
STEP 3 Get the proper diagnosis materials together including:

Power Supply Routing

System Operation Descriptions

Applicable Service Manual Sections

Check for any Service Bulletins
Identify where to begin diagnosis based upon your knowledge of the system operation and the customer comments.
STEP 4 Inspect the system for mechanical binding, loose connectors or wiring damage.
Determine which circuits and components are involved and diagnose using the Power Supply Routing and Harness
Layouts.
STEP 5 Repair or replace the incident circuit or component.
STEP 6 Operate the system in all modes. Verify the system works properly under all conditions. Make sure you have not inad-
vertently created a new incident during your diagnosis or repair steps.

VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD
To help in understanding the diagnosis of open circuits please refer to the previous schematic.
In any powered circuit, an open can be found by methodically checking the system for the presence of voltage.
This is done by switching the DMM to the voltage function.

Connect one probe of the DMM to a known good ground.

Begin probing at one end of the circuit and work your way to the other end.

With SW1 open, probe at SW1 to check for voltage.
voltage; open is further down the circuit than SW1.
no voltage; open is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).

Close SW1 and probe at relay.
voltage; open is further down the circuit than the relay.
no voltage; open is between SW1 and relay (point B).

Close the relay and probe at the solenoid.
voltage; open is further down the circuit than the solenoid.
no voltage; open is between relay and solenoid (point C).
Any powered circuit can be diagnosed using the approach in the previous example.
Testing for “Shorts” in the Circuit
To simplify the discussion of shorts in the system, please refer to the following schematic.
RESISTANCE CHECK METHOD

Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown fuse.

Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered through the
fuse.

Connect one probe of the DMM to the load side of the fuse terminal. Connect the other probe to a known
good ground.

With SW1 open, check for continuity.
continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point A).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.

Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known good
ground. Then, check for continuity.
continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.

Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put probes at the load side of fuse terminal and
a known good ground. Then, check for continuity.
continuity; short is between relay and solenoid (point C).
no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.
VOLTAGE CHECK METHOD

Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1 open, relay disconnected and solenoid discon-
nected) powered through the fuse.

Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify battery voltage at the battery + side of the fuse
terminal (one lead on the battery + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a known good ground).

With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse terminals, check for voltage.
voltage; short is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).

CONSULT-II CHECKING SYSTEMPFP:00000
DescriptionEAS001FP

CONSULT-II is a hand-held type tester. When it is connected with a diagnostic connector equipped on the
vehicle side, it will communicate with the control unit equipped in the vehicle and then enable various
kinds of diagnostic tests.

Refer to “CONSULT-II Software Operation Manual ” for more information.

Tow Truck TowingEAS001FY
WARNING:

Never get under the vehicle while it is supported only by the jack. Always use safety stands to
support the frame when you have to get under the vehicle.

Place wheel chocks at both front and back of the wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:

All applicable State or Provincial (in Canada) laws and local laws regarding the towing operation
must be obeyed.

It is necessary to use proper towing equipment to avoid possible damage during towing opera-
tion. Towing is in accordance with Towing Procedure Manual at dealer.

Always attach safety chains before towing.

When towing, make sure that the transmission, steering system and powertrain are in good order.
If any unit is damaged, dollies must be used.

Never tow an automatic transmission model from the rear
(i.e., backward) with four wheels on the ground as this may
cause serious and expensive damage to the transmission.
2WD MODELS
INFINITI does not recommend towing automatic transmission
equipped vehicles with the drive wheels on the ground.
CAUTION:

When towing with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the
ignition key to the OFF position and move the transmission
selector lever to N (neutral) position, turn the ignition key to
OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a straight
ahead position with a rope or similar device. Never place
the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result in
damage to the steering lock mechanism.

POWER WINDOW LOCK
The power window lock is designed to lock operation of all windows except for front door window LH.
When in the lock position, the power window lock signal is transmitted to power window and door lock/unlock
switch RH by power window serial link. This prevents the power window motor from operating.
RETAINED POWER OPERATION
When the ignition switch is turned to the OFF position from ON or START position, power is supplied for 45
seconds

to main power window and door lock/unlock switch terminal 10

from BCM terminal 68.
When power and ground are supplied, the BCM continues to be energized, and the power window can be
operated.
The retained power operation is canceled when the front LH or front RH door is opened.
Retained power operation period can be changed by CONSULT-II. Refer to GW-33, "
CONSULT-II Function
(BCM)" .
ANTI-PINCH SYSTEM
Main power window and door lock/unlock switch, power window and door lock/unlock switch RH and rear
power window control unit LH and RH monitors the power window motor operation and the power window
position (full closed or other) for each power window by the signals from encoder and limit switch in power win-
dow motor.
When a window switch detects interruption during the following close operation,

automatic close operation when ignition switch is in the ON position

automatic close operation during retained power operation
Main power window and door lock/unlock switch, power window and door lock/unlock switch RH and rear
power window control unit LH and RH controls each power window motor for open and the power window will
be lowered about 150 mm (5.91 in).
POWER WINDOW CONTROL BY THE FRONT DOOR LOCK ASSEMBLY LH (KEY CYLINDER
SWITCH)
When ignition key switch is OFF, front power window LH and RH can be opened or closed by turning the front
door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) to the UNLOCK/LOCK position for more than 1 second.

Front power windows can be opened as the front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) is kept fully
turned to the UNLOCK position.

Front power windows can be closed as the front door lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) is kept fully
turned to the LOCK position.

While performing open/close operation for the windows, power window is stopped when the front door
lock assembly LH (key cylinder switch) is placed in the NEUTRAL position.

When the ignition switch is turned ON while the power window opening operation is performed, the power
window opening stops.
