Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Infiniti FX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK GROUND CONNECTION
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Check ground connection M95. Refer to Ground Inspection in "CIRCUIT INSPECTION ".

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: Repair or replace ground connection.

  2. CHECK AIR FUEL RATIO (A/F) SENSOR 1 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT
    1. Disconnect A/F sensor 1 harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between A/F sensor 1 harness connector and ground.
