Diagnosis Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Infiniti FX50 and 2011 Infiniti FX35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH OPERATION

    Press push-button ignition switch and check if it turns ON.

    Does ignition switch turn ON? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: GO TO  4.

  2. CHECK IGNITION SWITCH OUTPUT SIGNAL (IPDM E/R)
    1. Disconnect push-button ignition switch connector and BCM connector.
    2. Check voltage between IPDM E/R harness connector and ground.

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO 3.

    NO: Replace IPDM E/R. Refer to "REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION ".

  3. CHECK PUSH-BUTTON IGNITION SWITCH CIRCUIT (IPDM E/R)
    1. Disconnect IPDM E/R connector.
    2. Check continuity between IPDM E/R harness connector and push-button ignition switch harness connector.
