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. Doi ng so may help avoid a No Trouble Found Diagnosis. The fol-
lowing section illustrates ways to simulate the c onditions/environment under which the owner experiences an
electrical incident.
The section is broken into the six following topics:
 Vehicle vibration
 Heat sensitive
 Freezing
 Water intrusion
 Electrical load
SGI838
STEP DESCRIPTION
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 Lay-
outs.
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.

CAUTION:
 Every time the vehicle is lifted up, main tain the complete vehicle curb condition.
 Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the front side (engine,
transmission, suspension etc.), support a jack up poi nt on the rear side garage jack with a mission
jack or equivalent.
 Since the vehicle's center of gravity changes when removing main parts on the rear side (rear axle,
suspension, etc.), support a jack up point on the fr ont side garage jack with a mission jack or equiv-
alent.
 Be careful not to smash or do not do an ything that would affect piping parts.
Garage Jack and Safety StandINFOID:0000000001325681
WARNING:

TOW TRUCK TOWING
TOW TRUCK TOWING
Tow Truck TowingINFOID:0000000001325684
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 towi ng equipment to avoid possible damage to the vehicle during tow-
ing operation. To wing 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 (that is backward) with four wheels on the
ground. This may cause serious and exp ensive damage to the transmission.
2WD MODELS
INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the dr iving (rear) wheels off the ground or that a dolly be
used as illustrated.
CAUTION:
 Never tow automatic transmission models with the r ear wheels on the ground or four wheels on the
ground (forward or backward), as this may cause serious and expensive damage to the transmis-
sion.
If it is necessary to tow the vehicle with the fron t wheels raised, always use towing dollies under the
rear wheels.
 When towing rear wheel drive mo dels with the front wheels on the ground or on towing dollies:
- Turn the ignition key to the OFF position, and secure the steering wh eel in a straight ahead position
with a rope or similar device.Never secure the st eering wheel by turning the ignition key to the LOCK
position. This may damage the steering lock mechanism.
- Move the selector lever to the N (Neutral) position.
 When the battery of vehicle equipped with the Intelligent Key system is discharged, your vehicle
should be towed with the front wh eels on towing dollies or place the vehicle on a flat bed truck.
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, re move the propeller shaft before towing to prevent dam-
age to the transmission.
