Inspection Procedure

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2006 Infiniti G35. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
  1. CHECK SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS 

    Check the self-diagnostic results.

    SELF-DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS

    Self-diagnostic results
    LOW POWER VOLTAGE

    Is above displayed in the self-diagnosis item? 

    1. YES: GO TO 2.
    2. NO: INSPECTION END
  2. CHECK CONNECTOR 
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF and disconnect VDC/TCS/ABS control unit connector. Then reconnect it securely.
