TESTING FOR ªSHORTSº IN THE CIRCUITNBGI0004S0304To simplify the discussion of shorts in the system please refer to
the schematic below.
SGI847
Resistance Check Method
1) Disconnect the battery negative cable and remove the blown
fuse.
2) Disconnect all loads (SW1 open, relay disconnected and sole-
noid disconnected) powered through the fuse.
3) Connect one probe of the ohmmeter to the load side of the fuse
terminal. Connect the other probe to a known good ground.
4) With SW1 open, check for continuity.
continuity; short is between fuse terminal and SW1 (point A).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than SW1.
5) Close SW1 and disconnect the relay. Put probes at the load
side of fuse terminal and a known good ground. Then, check
for continuity.
continuity; short is between SW1 and the relay (point B).
no continuity; short is further down the circuit than the relay.
6) Close SW1 and jump the relay contacts with jumper wire. Put
probes at the load side of fuse terminal and a known good
ground. Then, check for continuity.
continuity; short is between relay and solenoid (point C).
no continuity; check solenoid, retrace steps.
Voltage Check Method
1) Remove the blown fuse and disconnect all loads (i.e. SW1
open, relay disconnected and solenoid disconnected) powered
through the fuse.
2) Turn the ignition key to the ON or START position. Verify bat-
tery voltage at the B + side of the fuse terminal (one lead on
the B + terminal side of the fuse block and one lead on a known
good ground).
3) With SW1 open and the DMM leads across both fuse
terminals, check for voltage.
voltage; short is between fuse block and SW1 (point A).
no voltage; short is further down the circuit than SW1.

2WD MODELSNBGI0008S0402INFINITI recommends that vehicle be towed with the driving (rear)
wheels off the ground as illustrated.
CAUTION:
IWhen towing manual or automatic transmission models
with the front wheels on the ground: Turn the ignition key
to the OFF position and secure the steering wheel in a
straightahead position with a rope or similar device. Never
place the ignition key in the LOCK position. This will result
in damage to the steering lock mechanism.
IWhen towing manual transmission models with the rear
wheels on the ground or four wheels on the ground (if you
do not use towing dollies): Always release the parking
brake and move the transmission shift lever to the N (neu-
tral) position.
Observe the following restricted towing speeds and distances.
Manual transmission models:
ISpeed: Below 95 km/h (60 MPH)
IDistance: Less than 800 km (500 miles)
If the speed or distance must necessarily be greater, remove the
propeller shaft beforehand to prevent damage to the transmission.
SGI950
4WD MODELSNBGI0008S0403INFINITI recommends that a dolly or a flat bed truck be used as
illustrated when towing all-mode 4WD models.
