INTRODUCTION

Infiniti is conducting this voluntary emission recall campaign on certain specific model year 2016-2018 Q50 and 2017 Q60 vehicles. The Engine Control Module (ECM) will be reprogrammed so that in the event of an automatic transmission diagnostic issue, the diagnosis signals will be communicated properly and a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will be properly illuminated to notify the driver. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Infiniti has assigned identification number R1726 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is the dealer's responsibility to check eNOA for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary emissions recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer's inventory.

SERVICE PROCEDURE

ECM Reprogram

IMPORTANT: Before starting, make sure:
  • ASIST on the CONSULT PC has been synchronized (updated) to the current date.
  • All C-III plus software updates (if any) have been installed.
NOTE:
  • Most instructions for reprogramming with CONSULT-III plus (C-III plus) are displayed on the CONSULT PC screen.
  • If you are not familiar with the reprogramming procedure, CLICK HERE . This will link you to the "CONSULT - III plus (C-III plus) Reprogramming" general procedure.

Preparation for Reprogramming

  • Take the vehicle for a 10 minute drive in order to meet the following Idle Air Volume Learn (IAVL) conditions:
    • Engine coolant temperature: 70 - 100°C (158 - 212°F)
    • Battery voltage: More than 12.9V (At idle)
    • Transmission: Warmed up
    G11776633
  • After reprogramming is complete, you will be required to perform Throttle Valve Closed Position, Idle Air Volume Learn, Accelerator Closed Position, and DTC erase.
CAUTION:
  • Connect a GR8 battery charger to the vehicle battery and set to power supply mode. If the vehicle battery voltage drops below 12.0V or above 15.5V  during reprogramming, the ECM may be damaged  .
  • Be sure to turn OFF all vehicle electrical loads. If a vehicle electrical load remains ON, the ECM may be damaged. 
  • Be sure to connect the AC Adapter. If the CONSULT PC battery voltage drops during reprogramming, the process will be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged. 
  • Turn off all external Bluetooth® devices (e.g., cell phones, printers, etc.) within range of the CONSULT PC and the VI. If Bluetooth® signal waves are within range of the CONSULT PC during reprogramming, reprogramming may be interrupted and the ECM may be damaged  .
  1. Connect the CONSULT PC to the vehicle to begin the reprogramming procedure.
  2. Open ASIST on the CONSULT PC and start C-III plus.
  3. Wait for the plus VI to be recognized/connected.
    • Serial number will display when the plus VI is recognized/connected.
  4. Select Re/programming, Configuration  .
    G11776634
  5. Follow the on-screen instructions and navigate the C-III plus to the screen shown in Figure 2 on the next page.
  6. When you get to the screen shown in Figure 2, confirm that a reprogram is available as follows.
    1. Find the ECM Part Number  and write it on the repair order.
      NOTE: This is the current  ECM Part Number (P/N).
      G11776635
    2. Compare the P/N you wrote down to the numbers in the Current ECM Part Number  column in Table A  below.
    • If there is a match  , continue with the reprogramming procedure.
    • If there is not a match  , this campaign does not apply  or it has already been done. Confirm this campaign applies to this vehicle.
