Diagnostic Test

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2016 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

  1. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT - 1

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector.
    3. Turn ignition switch ON.
    4. Check the voltage between exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector and ground.

    4. Also check harness for short to ground and short to power.

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    GO TO STEP 3  .

    NO 

    Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  3. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE

    Check exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to COMPONENT INSPECTION .

    Is the inspection result normal?

    YES 

    INSPECTION END

    NO 

    Replace malfunctioning exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve. Refer to EXPLODED VIEW .

  4. CHECK EXHAUST VALVE TIMING CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT - 2

    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect IPDM E/R harness connector.
    3. Check the continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector and exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve harness connector.
      DTC + - Continuity
