DTC Description: Fail-Safe

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2019 Infiniti QX60. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

NOTE: Any of the following fail-safe is applied.

Fail safe mode

Vehicle behavior

Traveling control mode

Accelerator angle variation control

ECM controls the accelerator pedal depression speed to make it slower than actual speed. This causes a drop in accelerating performance and encourages the driver to repair malfunction.

NOTE: ECM does not control the accelerator pedal releasing speed.

Engine output control

ECM reduces the engine output, according to the rise in engine speed. This reduces the vehicle speed to encourage the driver to repair malfunction.

Driving at 70 km/h (44 MPH) or more is possible.

NOTE: This value is a reference value converted from engine power to vehicle speed.

Actual power limitation value differs due to the malfunctioning part and driving condition.

Fail safe mode		Vehicle behavior
Device fix mode		Fixes electric intake valve timing control motor in the reference position. Fixes exhaust valve timing control solenoid valve in the reference position.
Others		ECM stops the electric throttle control actuator control, throttle valve is maintained at a fixed opening (approx. 5 degrees) by the return spring.
