Heating and air INFINITI QX4 2001 Factory Service Manual

On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0610This diagnosis checks whether the engine coolant temperature is
extraordinary high, even when the load is not heavy.
When malfunction is detected, the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL)
will light up even in the first trip.
Malfunction is detected when engine coolant temperature is exces-
sively high under normal engine speed.
Possible CauseNBEC0611IThermostat
IImproper ignition timing
IEngine coolant temperature sensor
IBlocked radiator
IBlocked front end (Improper fitting of nose mask)
ICrushed vehicle frontal area (Vehicle frontal is collided but not
repaired)
IBlocked air passage by improper installation of front fog lamp
or fog lamps.
IImproper mixture ratio of coolant
IDamaged bumper
For more information, refer to ªMAIN 12 CAUSES OF
OVERHEATINGº, EC-319.
Overall Function CheckNBEC0612Use this procedure to check the overall function of the coolant
overtemperature enrichment protection check, a DTC might not be
confirmed.
WARNING:
Never remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot. Serious
burns could be caused by high-pressure fluid escaping from
the radiator.
Wrap a thick cloth around the cap. Carefully remove the cap
by turning it a quarter turn to allow built-up pressure to
escape. Then turn the cap all the way off.
SEF621W
WITH CONSULT-IINBEC0612S011) Check the coolant level and mixture ratio (using coolant tester)
in the reservoir tank and radiator.
Allow engine to cool before checking coolant level and
mixture ratio.
IIf the coolant level in the reservoir and/or radiator is below the
proper range, go to ªDiagnostic Procedureº, EC-316.
IIf the coolant mixture ratio is out of the range of 45 to 55%,
replace the coolant in the following procedure MA-14, ªChang-
ing Engine Coolantº.
a) Fill radiator with coolant up to specified level with a filling speed

On Board Diagnosis Logic
EC-314

On Board Diagnosis LogicNBEC0182When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine
speed fluctuates enough to cause the CKP sensor signal to vary,
ECM can determine that a misfire is occurring.
Sensor Input Signal to ECM ECM function
Crankshaft position sensor (POS) Engine speed On board diagnosis of misfire
The misfire detection logic consists of the following two conditions.
1. One Trip Detection Logic (Three Way Catalyst Damage)
On the first trip that a misfire condition occurs that can dam-
age the three way catalyst (TWC) due to overheating, the MIL
will blink.
When a misfire condition occurs, the ECM monitors the CKP
sensor signal every 200 engine revolutions for a change.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not
damage the TWC, the MIL will turn off.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC
on a second trip, the MIL will blink.
When the misfire condition decreases to a level that will not
damage the TWC, the MIL will remain on.
If another misfire condition occurs that can damage the TWC,
the MIL will begin to blink again.
2. Two Trip Detection Logic (Exhaust quality deterioration)
For misfire conditions that will not damage the TWC (but will
affect vehicle emissions), the MIL will only light when the mis-
fire is detected on a second trip. During this condition, the ECM
monitors the CKP sensor signal every 1,000 engine revolu-
tions.
A misfire malfunction can be detected on any one cylinder or
on multiple cylinders.
Malfunction is detected when multiple cylinders misfire, No. 1 cyl-
inder misfires, No. 2 cylinder misfires, No. 3 cylinder misfires, No.
4 cylinder misfires, No. 5 cylinder misfires and No. 6 cylinder
misfires.
Possible CauseNBEC0490IImproper spark plug
IInsufficient compression
IIncorrect fuel pressure
IThe injector circuit is open or shorted
IInjectors
IIntake air leak
IThe ignition secondary circuit is open or shorted
ILack of fuel
IDrive plate or flywheel

PRECAUTIONS FOR ENGINE OILSNBGI0001S05Prolonged and repeated contact with used engine oil may cause
skin cancer. Try to avoid direct skin contact with used oil.
If skin contact is made, wash thoroughly with soap or hand cleaner
as soon as possible.
Health Protection PrecautionsNBGI0001S0501IAvoid prolonged and repeated contact with oils, particularly
used engine oils.
IWear protective clothing, including impervious gloves where
practicable.
IDo not put oily rags in pockets.
IAvoid contaminating clothes, particularly underpants, with oil.
IHeavily soiled clothing and oil-impregnated footwear should
not be worn. Overalls must be cleaned regularly.
IFirst Aid treatment should be obtained immediately for open
cuts and wounds.
IUse barrier creams, applying them before each work period, to
help the removal of oil from the skin.
IWash with soap and water to ensure all oil is removed (skin
cleansers and nail brushes will help). Preparations containing
lanolin replace the natural skin oils which have been removed.
IDo not use gasoline, kerosine, diesel fuel, gas oil, thinners or
solvents for cleaning skin.
IIf skin disorders develop, obtain medical advice without delay.
IWhere practicable, degrease components prior to handling.
IWhere there is a risk of eye contact, eye protection should be
worn, for example, chemical goggles or face shields; in addi-
tion an eye wash facility should be provided.
Environmental Protection PrecautionsNBGI0001S0502Burning used engine oil in small space heaters or boilers can be
recommended only for units of approved design. The heating sys-
tem must meet the requirements of HM Inspectorate of Pollution for
small burners of less than 0.4 MW. If in doubt check with the
appropriate local authority and/or manufacturer of the approved
appliance.
Dispose of used oil and used oil filters through authorized waste
disposal contractors to licensed waste disposal sites, or to the
waste oil reclamation trade. If in doubt, contact the local authority
for advice on disposal facilities.
It is illegal to pour used oil on to the ground, down sewers or drains,
or into water courses.
The regulations concerning pollution vary between regions.
PRECAUTIONS FOR FUELNBGI0001S06Use unleaded gasoline with an octane rating of at least 87 AKI
(Anti-Knock Index) number (research octane number 91).
CAUTION:
Do not use leaded gasoline. Using leaded gasoline will dam-
age the three way catalyst.
Using a fuel other than that specified could adversely affect
the emission control devices and systems, and could also
affect the warranty coverage validity.
PRECAUTIONS FOR AIR CONDITIONINGNBGI0001S07Use an approved refrigerant recovery unit any time the air condi-
tioning system must be discharged. Refer to HA-144, ªHFC-134a
(R-134a) Service Procedureº for specific instructions.
