Do not place the vehicle on flammable material. Keep flammable material off the exhaust pipe and the three
way catalyst.
Precaution for Fuel (Unlead ed Premium Gasoline Recommended)INFOID:0000000001325656
VQ35DE
INFINITI recommends the use of unleaded premium gasoli ne with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-
Knock Index) number (Research octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, you may use unleaded regular gasoline with an octane rating of
at least 87AKI number (Research octane number 91), but you may notice a decrease in performance.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoli ne. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unlead ed gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fu el other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.
Precaution for Fuel (Unleaded Premium Gasoline Required)INFOID:0000000001325657
VK45DE
Use unleaded premium gasoline with an octane rating of at least 91 AKI (Anti-Knock Index) number (Research
octane number 96).
If unleaded premium gasoline is not available, unleaded r egular gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87
AKI number (Research octane number 91) can be us ed, but only under the following precautions:
 have the fuel tank filled only partially with unl eaded regular gasoline, and fill up with unleaded premium gas-
oline as soon as possible.
 avoid full throttle driving and abrupt acceleration.
However, for maximum vehicle performance, the u se of unleaded premium gasoline is recommended.
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoli ne. Using leaded gasoline will damage the three way catalyst. Do not use E-85
fuel (85% fuel ethanol, 15% unlead ed gasoline) unless the vehicle is specifically designed for E-85 fuel
(i.e. Flexible Fuel Vehicle - FFV models). Using a fu el other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also affect the warranty coverage validity.
Precaution for Multiport Fuel Inject ion System or Engine Control SystemINFOID:0000000001325658
 Before connecting or disconnecti ng any harness connector for the
multiport fuel injection system or ECM:
Turn ignition switch to “OFF” position.
Disconnect negative battery terminal.
Otherwise, there may be damage to ECM.
 Before disconnecting pressurized fuel line from fuel pump to injec- tors, be sure to release fuel pressure.
 Be careful not to jar components such as ECM and mass air flow sensor.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
Condition of Error DetectionINFOID:0000000001451948
“U1000” or “U1001” is indicated on SELF-DIAG RESULTS on CONSULT-III if CAN communication signal is
not transmitted or received between units for 2 seconds or more.
CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM ERROR
 CAN communication line open (CAN-H, CAN-L, or both)
 CAN communication line short (ground, betw een CAN communication lines, other harnesses)
 Error of CAN communication control circuit of the unit connected to CAN communication line
WHEN “U1000” OR “U1001” IS INDICATED EV EN THOUGH CAN COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IS
NORMAL
 Removal/installation of parts: Error may be detec ted when removing and installing CAN communication unit
and related parts while turning the ignition switch ON. (A DTC except for CAN communication may be
detected.)
 Fuse blown out (removed): CAN communication of the unit may cease.
 Voltage drop: Error may be detected if voltage drops due to discharged battery when turning the ignition
switch ON (Depending on the control unit which carries out CAN communication).
 Error may be detected if the power supply circuit of the control unit, which carries out CAN communication,
malfunctions (Depending on the control unit which carries out CAN communication).
 Error may be detected if reprogramming is not completed normally.
NOTE:
CAN communication system is normal if “U1000” or “U 1001” is indicated on SELF-DIAG RESULTS of CON-
SULT-III under the above conditions. Erase the memory of the self-diagnosis of each unit.
Symptom When Error Occurs in CAN Communication SystemINFOID:0000000001451949
In CAN communication system, multiple units mutually transmit and receive signals. Each unit cannot transmit
and receive signals if any error occurs on CAN communicati on line. Under this condition, multiple control units
related to the root cause malfunction or go into fail-safe mode.
ERROR EXAMPLE
NOTE:
 Each vehicle differs in symptom of each unit under fail-safe mode and CAN communication line wiring.
 Refer to LAN-37, "
Abbreviation List" for the unit abbreviation.
Example: TCM branch line open circuit
SKIB8738E
Unit name Symptom
ECM Engine torque limiting is affected, and shift harshness increases.
