2008 INFINITI FX35 oil temperature

GI-4
< SERVICE INFORMATION >
PRECAUTIONS
 To prevent serious burns:Avoid contact with hot metal parts.
Do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot.
 Dispose of or recycle drained oil or the solvent used for cleaning parts in an appropriate manner.
 Do not attempt to top off the fuel tank after the fuel pump nozzle
shuts off automatically.
Continued refueling may cause fuel overflow, resulting in fuel spray
and possibly a fire.
 Clean all disassembled parts in the designated liquid or solvent prior to inspection or assembly.
 Replace oil seals, gaskets, packings, O-rings, locking washers, cotter pins, self-locking nuts, etc. with new ones.
 Replace inner and outer races of tapered roller bearings and needle bearings as a set.
 Arrange the disassembled parts in accordance with their assembled locations and sequence.
 Do not touch the terminals of electrical com ponents which use microcomputers (such as ECM).
Static electricity may damage internal electronic components.
 After disconnecting vacuum or air hoses, atta ch a tag to indicate the proper connection.
 Use only the fluids and lubricants specified in this manual.
 Use approved bonding agent, sealants or their equivalents when required.
 Use hand tools, power tools (disassembly only) and recommended special tools where specified for safe and efficient service repairs.
 When repairing the fuel, oil, water, vacuum or exhaust systems,
check all affected lines for leaks.
 Before servicing the vehicle: Protect fenders, upholstery and carpeting with appropriate covers.
Take caution that keys, buckles or buttons do not scratch paint.
WARNING:
To prevent ECM from storing the diagnostic tro uble codes, do not carelessly disconnect the harness
connectors which are related to the engine cont rol system and TCM (transmission control module)
system. The connectors should be disconnected on ly when working according to the WORK FLOW of
TROUBLE DIAGNOSES in EC and AT sections.
Precaution for Three Way CatalystINFOID:0000000001325655
If a large amount of unburned fuel flows into the catalyst , the catalyst temperature will be excessively high. To
prevent this, follow the instructions.
 Use unleaded gasoline only. Leaded gasoline will seriously damage the three way catalyst.
 When checking for ignition spark or measuring engine compression, make tests quickly and only when nec- essary.
 Do not run engine when the fuel tank level is low, otherwise the engine may misfire, causing damage to the
catalyst.

SERVICE INFORMATION FOR ELECTRICAL INCIDENT
The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*:If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 1 does not detect battery voltage. Control unit
does not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not supply power to ligh t up the
lamp.
INPUT-OUTPUT VOLTAGE CHART
The voltage value is based on the body ground.
*:If high resistance exists in the switch side circuit (caused by a single strand), terminal 2 does not detect approx. 0V. Cont rol unit does
not detect the switch is ON even if the switch does not turn ON. Therefore, the control unit does not control ground to light u p the lamp.
Control Units and Electrical PartsINFOID:0000000001325673
PRECAUTIONS
 Never reverse polarity of battery terminals.
 Install only parts specified for a vehicle.
 Before replacing the control unit, check the input and output and functions of the component parts.
 Do not apply excessive force when disconnecting a connector.
 Do not apply excessive shock to the control unit by dropping or hit- ting it.
 Be careful to prevent condensation in the control unit due to rapid temperature changes and do not let water or rain get on it. If water
is found in the control unit, dry it fully and then install it in the vehi-
cle.
 Be careful not to let oil to get on the control unit connector.
 Avoid cleaning the control unit with volatile oil.
 Do not disassemble the control unit, and do not remove the upper and lower covers.

ENGINE OIL
WARNING:
• Be careful not to get burn your
self, as engine oil may be hot.
 Oil pressure check should be done in “Parking position”.
1. Check the engine oil level. Refer to "ENGINE OIL LEVEL".
2. Remove front engine undercover with power tool.
3. Disconnect harness connector at oil pressure sensor, and remove oil pressure sensor using deep socket (commercial ser-
vice tool).
CAUTION:
Do not drop or shock oil pressure switch.
4. Install the oil pressure gauge (SST) and hose (SST).
5. Start the engine and warm it up to normal operating temperature.
6. Check the engine oil pressure with engine running under no-load. NOTE:
When the engine oil temperature is low, the engine oil pressure becomes high.
Engine oil pressure [Engi ne oil temperature at 80 °C (176 °F)]
Unit: kPa (kg/cm2, psi)
If difference is extreme, check engine oil passage and oil pump for engine oil leaks.
7. After the inspections, install oil pressure switch as follows:
a. Remove old liquid gasket adhering to oil pressure switch and the mating surface.
b. Apply liquid gasket and tighten oil pressure switch to the specification. Use Genuine RTV Silicone Seal ant or equivalent. Refer to GI-44, "
Recommended Chemical Prod-
uct and Sealant".
